UNSPOKEN
PROMISES (Book 2, The Unspoken Love Series)
SYNOPSIS:
Unspoken
Promises are worse than lies.
Morgan Kennedy
and Lincoln Gates have been in love since high school. Their friends have
envied their devotion to not only each other, but also the life they’ve made
together. From the
outside looking
in, their relationship is perfect. One mirrored of fairytales. But behind the
door, Morgan isn’t feeling as fulfilled as she once did. She wants more. She
wants the glass slipper and
the happily ever
after.
What Lincoln and
Morgan don’t anticipate is that a horrific event is about to make them
second-guess their wants.
EXCERPT:
“What happened to us, Lincoln? Where did things go wrong?” she mutters
uneasily. Tears slowly find their way down her cheeks.
“I wish I had the answer, but I don’t.” My voice wavers.
“I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this. I’m losing myself.
I hate who I’ve become,” she shakes her head regretfully.
“I hate that I’m hurting you.”
I get up and sit next to her. I place my hand under her chin, lifting
her face so I can see her. “I love you. You know that, don’t you?”
“I know you love me. That’s never been the problem.” Her faint smile
holds a touch of sadness.
How do two people that love each other repair what has been broken? Can
we? Seeing her sad is breaking me. I’m such a dumbass for not realizing how
much she's hurting watching her best friend get something she wants so bad.
Something that I’m not willing to give her.
The ride home takes about an hour with the city traffic this time of
night. With Morgan’s hand clasped with mine we enter my apartment. The sound of
the door shutting echoes in the living room. I turn the lock and toss my keys
on the table next to the door.
I follow Morgan in to the bedroom. I lean down and place a gentle kiss
against her lips. The touch of her lips is a delicious sensation. I raise my
mouth from hers and gaze into her eyes. Christian was right. They are sad. How
haven’t I noticed how much this is affecting her?
She pushes up against me to meet my lips again. Morgan showers kisses
around my lips and along my jaw. Her breath smells sweet, like the fruity
cocktail she was drinking at the wedding reception. The kisses are slow and sensual
that drive me wild. My mouth swoops down to capture hers. She parts her lips
granting me access to her tongue. Her tongue tastes sugary. My lips recapture
hers, more demanding this time.
I pull away from her and gaze into her dark brown eyes. My hands make
their way to her face, cupping her cheeks. “I love you, Morgan,” I say against
her hips.
She bites her lip, and a groan passes through my lips. My chest heaves
uncontrollably. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve been intimate.
Slowly my fingertips pull the zipper of her dress. Once it reaches the
bottom, her strapless dress falls to the floor. Her flawless body stands before
be in a lacey black strapless bra and matching thong.
I gently outline her nipples, causing her to suck in a quick breath. Her
nipples harden immediately from being teased. I gradually work my way to the
clasp at the back undoing it. Her bra falls to the floor and I can’t help but
lean down and take her nipple into my mouth.
Her hands pull on my hair. I press kisses, feathery and light, followed
by little love bites as I make my way down her body. Morgan shivers and arches
against me. I guide her toward the bed until the back of her thighs hit the
mattress.
“Lie down.”
Morgan complies and I take her breast into my mouth and suck hard. She
moans, when I bite her nipple.
When I look up, I see a mark on her breast. I sucked a little too hard.
I should feel bad, but I don’t. Instead, I feel proud. Possessive. I love
leaving my mark on Morgan.
I rip her panties off and throw them to the side.
Morgan gasps and looks down at me. “They were brand new,” she says
angrily.
“They were in the way… I’ll buy you new ones.”
I continue to torture her with kisses along her stomach, her hip, then
her thighs. My hands stroke the inside of her thigh. I explore the sexy curves
that lead to her tight little ass.
“Stop teasing me,” she pleads.
When I find her clit, I suck on her sensitive bud. She cries out and
grips my hair and grinds against my face.
I lick her, kiss her, torture her with my mouth until she is chanting my
name.
“Lincoln, oh, God.”
I smile as I bite her clit, then suck on it.
“Don’t stop. Just like that.” Her orgasm hits her hard. She pulls my
face against her and grinds against my face. Her other hand grips the sheet as
she cries out.
Her back arches off the bed and her body trembles.
I don’t give her time to recover as I make my way up her body, trailing
kisses along the way.
“Who do you belong to, Morgan? Tell me.” My voice low and demanding.
“You,” she moans “Always, you.” Her voice unsteady. She closes her eyes.
“Look at me, don’t close your eyes. I need to see your eyes. You need to
know who is doing this to you.”
She blinks, then her eyes blaze up at me.
“I’ll fight for you. Don’t give up on us.” I kiss the tip of her nose
and climb off the bed to quickly undress.
AMIE'S 4 STAR REVIEW:
Book 2 in the series is Morgan and Lincoln's story. They have been together since age 16 - about 8 years - they are deeply in love which is easy to see BUT the fact that they both want different things in life is now taking a toll on them as they watch friends get married. There is a bit of overlap with the books and here we see how what happened to Camryn affects Lincoln and Morgan being that it happened at their club and as a result of something Morgan did. I feel like their relationship has had so many years of bliss that as soon as hurt and guilt step in the things they thought they could live with - Lincoln not wanting marriage despite Morgan wanting it - become such a focus that it almost ruins all the years of love and happiness. I was on the same page as Lincoln , marriage to me was never the most important thing - for me I knew it would come we just did things backwards LOL !! Lincoln had been clear that it would never be his thing and Morgan kind of let that slide. He thought she accepted it and she figured he would change his mind as they got older. When neither of those things happened Morgan began her attempt at understanding. It didn't go as well as planned - she just didn't get it and he just couldn't see why not. Morgan felt his love and knew it was there but she did not feel good enough , if she was then he would marry her. It was a back and forth argument that did wear on me BUT when things come to a head and you feel Morgan's pain you start to realize WOW she really is suffering. Sadly for this loving couple the HEA doesn't come easy. They suffer more than one traumatic event and their time apart is painful to read. Can they meet in the middle - will realizations take place that aren't coming from a place of guilt or to pacify ?? I hoped for them it would and they could reclaim their love and beautiful relationship , move on and take those logical steps most take. I was thrilled that despite time apart and the nature of their jobs that there was no cheating - these two were each other's firsts and I was happy to see that honored in a way that some stories can't manage. Looking forward to Christian's story next !!
