Endless Obsession (47 page)

“I have a surprise for you,” she says, and I look down at her.
We’re standing just outside the kitchen door. “What do you have for me, Beautiful?”
She takes my hand and places it over her lower stomach. The smile she gives me could light an entire fucking stadium. The implication of what she’s saying has my breath catching in my throat.
“Are you saying…?” I ask, my voice shaky with unrestrained hope.
If it’s even possible, her smile gets wider. “Yes.”
I bend my knees, pick her up, and crush my mouth to hers. Laughing against my lips, she wraps her arms around my neck and kisses me just as hard as I’m kissing her. Tears prick my eyes as I take my lips from hers. I throw my head back and yell, “It’s about damn time!” She laughs.
The commotion in the kitchen comes to a screeching halt, and everyone comes tumbling out.
“What in the world…”
I look over at our family and give them a huge smile, saying proudly, “We’re having a baby!”
“Oh, my God,” my mom whispers, tears immediately coming to her eyes.
“It’s about damn time,” my dad mimics my words.
Other words are spoken, but I don’t hear them. My focus is solely on the woman in my arms. I lean my forehead against hers.
“We’re having a baby,” I whisper, and watch as tears gather in her eyes. She smiles beautifully at me. I wipe away a tear that escapes and trails down her face.
“We are.”
“Are you happy, Beautiful?” I ask, already knowing the answer. She shows me every day that she’s happy. I just like hearing her confirm it.
“Deliriously happy.”
“Good. We can be deliriously happy together,” I tell her, and claim her lips once more…
First and foremost, I’d like to thank my family. They are the ones that suffer the most while I’m in writing mode, but they are always very understanding. Thank you to my husband for picking up the slack when I’m in my writing groove. Thank you to my two wonderful kids for knowing how important writing is for me, and allowing me the time away from them. I love you all to bits!
Next, I have to thank my good friends, Allison and Jess. You two ladies are always there when I need you the most. As writers yourselves, you know the stress that comes with this career. You both seriously make my life easier. Thank you for letting me bounce ideas off you. Love you both!

I will be working on two projects next. One is another dark read that I will be co-authoring with A.M. Wilson. When I say dark, I mean so dark, it’s gonna be black! I do not have an estimates release as of yet.
My other project will be a spin-off of Endless Obsession and will feature Colt Maverick, Asher’s friend, and his sex addict partner, Abigail Summers! Look below for the synopsis!
Always Wanting
Releases December 2nd
My name is Abigail Summers, and I’m addicted to sex. Yes, you read right. I’m a woman that craves… no,
needs
to have a man take my body on a daily basis. If I don’t have sex at least once a day, my body shakes from withdrawal, my stomach cramps with unbearable pain, my sexually hazed mind goes haywire, and I become extremely irritable and a major bitch. This isn’t a lifestyle I’ve chosen for myself. It’s a struggle I deal with every single day.
I don’t do relationships, because what man wants to be stuck knowing his girl may be out fucking some random guy if he’s not available? You may think this is something that I can control, but I say screw you; you’ve never been in my shoes before.
The cravings may be something I can’t control, but I’ve learned to embrace them. I’ve tried the sexual addiction support groups. I’ve tried curbing my appetites. I’ve been shunned, criticized, ridiculed, and called every nasty name under the sun. Well, I say fuck all you judgmental assholes. I’ll have sex with who I want, when I want, where I want. Embarrassment? That’s a thing of the past. This is my life now, and those that don’t like it can go to hell.
But then
he
came along and screwed everything up.
Colt Maverick
. For once in my life, I want more,
crave
more from
one
guy. A guy that’s sweet and doesn’t match my hard interior. A guy that looks at me like he wants to eat me alive and claim me as his own. A guy that will most definitely
not
be okay with my addiction. A guy that I want over and over again, not because my body
demands
it, but because
I
demand it.
I now have a new addiction. But will he be enough to satisfy my uncontrollable desires?
Alex Grayson is originally from the south, but has recently moved to Northern Ohio. Although she misses the warmth of Florida and often detests the cold of Ohio, she absolutely loves living in the north. She and her husband bought a house on two acres of land and live there with their daughter, son, one dog, two cats, and eleven ducks. She hopes to eventually get a couple of goats to add to their country way of living. Besides her family and home, her next best passion is reading. She is often found with her nose obsessively stuck in a book, much to the frustration of her husband and kids. On more than one occasion, Alex found herself wanting a book to go a certain way, but it didn’t. With these thoughts in mind, she decided to start writing stories according to her own visions. Although this is a new endeavor for her, she hopes that readers find her concepts on romance intriguing and captivating. Alex welcomes and encourages feedback, of any kind. She can be contacted at [email protected].
