Sheridan Pack, 7
In the shadowy path between life and death, choices echo louder than the grave. After a fatal shooting robs Mathias of his future, he is miraculously resurrected by an enigmatic order of necromancers, offering him a chance at life—but at a cost.
Nova misses Mathias with every beat of her heart, and has painfully learned existence isn’t living. Each day she puts one foot in front of the other, but her memories are an anchor weighting her down.
Everything has the consequences of his actions, and the unbreakable bonds that tie him and Nova to one another are strong, even beyond the grave. After all, life and death are merely two sides of the same coin.
Excerpt:
“We don’t have to do anything,” Mathias whispered.
“I’ve been dreaming of you for a while,” Nova whispered back. Then she dropped the sheet.
His hot gaze perused her up, down, and then slowly traveled back up again. Intense longing heavy in his blue eyes. With quick movements, he pulled his clothes off then banded an arm around her waist, pulling her into his body. Warm breath brushed against her lips as he bent his head to claim her mouth in a deep, hungry kiss. They were two halves of a whole. Two souls so deeply intertwined that they couldn’t be separated.
Not even death could part them.
Taking a step back, the hot water sluiced over her skin, filling the shower with steam. She pulled him with her under the spray as he captured her mouth, sliding his tongue in to dance with hers, in a kiss that ignited a fire in her blood. God, she had missed him. Missed his touch. His smile. The way he held her, loved her. She had been a woman starved and had just been given a banquet.
Mathias took the soap and lathered up before sliding his hands over her body, starting at her shoulders and caressing his way down. Carefully over her collarbone and down to her breasts. Rolling the hard little buds between his thumb and fingers created a pulsing need deep in her pussy, and she moaned. The slick soap ran down her hips, and his hand slid between her thighs. His searching fingers found her clit, and pleasure burst through her. A desperate hunger took hold, and she arched her body into the caress, wanting more.
Their lips met, the kiss deepening to touch her soul. She knew how good it could be, how good it always was between them. Need flooded her body, and she ached to have him inside her.
“I need you,” Nova moaned. “Please.”
Staring at her, he reached around her body and turned off the water. Then he slid his hands down to cup her butt and lifted her. His muscles bulged as he held her, and surprise had her wrap her legs around his waist to help keep her steady. Mathias carried her from the shower to the bed, and he didn’t stop until he tumbled her onto the mattress.
