Excerpt
JOEY
Theyâre on the loveseat facing the window and in profile from my view. Huck is down on his knees, head between Brookeâs legs. Sheâs gripping his hair, head thrown back, eyes closed, and her plump mouth open to allow the moans to escape.
Huck reaches up, grabs the front of her sundress, and drags it down so her bra is exposed. He does that again with the bra, and her tits bounce out. All the while heâs licking her pussy.
One hand grabs one breast and squeezes. Hard. Hard enough to make Brooke whimper. And the other one slides between her legs.
He fingers her as I watch, my dick getting hard at the sight of them.
Footsteps on the stairs make me look over my shoulder. Wald comes up around the banister. Saying nothing, but looking me dead in the eyes.
He licks his lips and I turn back to keep watching.
Waldâs hands slide around my hips and his chest presses into my back as he reaches for my already hard cock beneath my slacks.
âWald,â I say. But itâs so soft, I donât think he hears me.
Lie. Itâs a lie. He hears me.
They planned this.
He and Huck planned this on the way over.
Wald grabs my hand and reaches for his dick, placing my palm over his growing hardness under his pants. He squeezes himself using my hand to do it and I fucking moan. I canât help it.
Then heâs kissing my neck, whispering, âCome on, dude. Play along. You know you want to,â in my ear as he begins to unbuckle my belt.
I suck in a breath of air, thinking up a reason why I should stop him.
But thereâs no good reason. Weâve already crossed the line again.
Where did I really think this day would end up?
I brought a girl in. I let them both have their fun. And I had mine too. Then I gave her a ring and bought her a house and told them they were staying here with us.
I can say itâs all for Maisy. And that might still be true.
But this is the real me, isnât it?
This is the reason why I never settled down. Why I let Charlotte leave me behind the day Maisy was born. Why I never came back here to the city where I was raised. Where my brothers still live.
Itâs because I have always wanted more than I have.
Iâm a selfish, greedy motherfucker and thatâs never going to change.
Wald has my zipper down now. Iâm still holding his cock through his jeans. Heâs hard, and Iâm hard, and thereâs no way weâre not doing this.
He pulls my cock out and starts to jerk me off. Leaning his chest into my back. His lips kissing my neck.
âCome on,â he says.
I turn my head a little. I can feel his breath on the side of my cheek. His lips drag along the stubble of my jaw until he catches the corner of my mouth with his teeth.
Brooke is moaning in the other room and I turn my head back to watch. Huck is climbing up her stomach, kissing it as he unbuckles his belt and gets his pants open. He pulls his cock out and fists it, her looking up at him. He takes her hand and wraps it around his shaft and gives her a little push. A little encouragement.
Brooke begins to tug on him, their eyes still locked together.
Wald squeezes my dick, reminding me who Iâm with right now.
I lean into the doorjamb. My right hand behind me, squeezing Waldâs dick as he gets his pants undone and pulls himself out. He hands it to me.
Thatâs the only way to describe that move. He takes my hand and places it over his cock and I automatically begin to mimic Brooke as she jerks Huck in the other room.
Sheâs got her mouth open now. Still looking up at my friend like heâs got all the answers.
Waldâs hands are on my hips. He presses forward until his cock is rubbing up against my ass. One hand slides down along the diagonal muscle of my waist and grabs my balls.
I suck in a breath of air and close my eyes. Holding in the moan that wants to escape.
But Brooke is giving Huck a sloppy blow job and I want to watch it.
So I open my eyes and see Huck staring back at me.
âCome here,â he whispers.

7/30/2019 DEFYING GRAVITY BY K.K ALLEN: SPORTS ROMANCE/SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE/BEST FRIENDS BROTHERRead Now![]() Their greatest risk was the one they never took … Defying Gravity, an all-new emotional sports romance from USA Today bestselling author K.K. Allen is available now! It was an accidental spring fling three years ago—one week spent in the mountains of Big Sur and no one was the wiser. Ignore the fact that Tobias James was my neighbor and my best friend’s older brother. Or that upon our return his hoop dreams were waiting for him, robbing us of any potential future we could have shared. Now, I’m fulfilling my own dreams in L.A. and my biggest dream of all is about to come true. The last thing I expected was for my past and my present to collide. Not now. Not here. Not him. But he struts back into my life like he never even left. Unfortunately, I’ll never forget what happened after he did. The ball is in my court, but Tobias isn’t below stealing—my power, my resolve, my heart… When he wants a second chance to reignite our connection, my answer is simple. We can’t. Not unless we defy the rules our dreams were built on and risk everything. Download your copy today or read FREE in Kindle Unlimited!

Amazon: https://amzn.to/2LYORiC Amazon Worldwide: http://mybook.to/FallingfromGravity Excerpt: “Where can we find the best view in Los Angeles?” I had to think about that one. Every trail I’d hiked in the area ended with a gorgeous view, but I didn’t think a hike was what he’d had in mind. That gave me an idea. “Griffith Observatory has some nice views. Not sure how parking is this time of night.” I was still thinking. “Or there’s always Canyon Lake Drive.” The look he gave me next wrapped a string around my heart and tugged gently. “Somewhere you haven’t been with a dude.” Forcing back my smile, I grabbed his phone. “Drive. I’ll program the directions so I can enjoy the ride.” I tried to ignore the pleased look on his face when I blushed at his request, but it was almost impossible to ignore him when I handed back his phone and my fingers accidentally brushed his. Our eyes connected on a beat, the electricity so charged between us that I felt the vibration throughout my body. We rode the rest of the way in silence, like we both knew the conversation to come was a big one. Besides that, neither of us was a fan of small talk. Maybe that was why we’d always gotten along so well. We preferred hours of comfortable silence to awkward conversation. It made each moment we were together meaningful. “Almost there,” he said once we were on Western Canyon Drive. “Where should I park?” “You’ll keep going up the hill. Park on West Observatory Road. You’ll see the line of cars. I usually find a spot up close, but—” I made a face as I looked around his truck. “My car is three times smaller than this.” I grinned at him. “You might want to park about a half mile away.” He chuckled. I didn’t understand why until he continued driving past where I recommended and almost reached the top of the hill, when he slowed. Just then, like fucking magic, a large truck was pulling out of a parallel parking spot, leaving it vacant. “You are kidding me.” He laughed again and parked with ease. Growing up in Malibu didn’t give us many opportunities for parallel parking, but I was certain he’d had his fair share of chances to get it right in Chicago. I hopped out of the truck just as he made it to my side. “So impatient to hang out with me.” I rolled my eyes. “Keep dreaming, James.” He rolled his head back, grinning. “You realize there are women out there dreaming about a night just like this, right?” I hoped he could feel the heat of my glare. “You don’t say.” His lips pressed together like he was biting back a smile, then he took my hand in his and tugged me forward. “Let’s move. We have to make it before sunset.” This time, silence didn’t fill our gaps. It dissipated with the first view we encountered before ever reaching the observatory. “Wow.” I tugged away from him and walked to the balcony of the outlook. As I stared out over trees and rock mountains, I had an epiphany. Taking Tobias here conveyed an unspoken promise that I’d never shared the same space with another man. I hadn’t even questioned the intimacy of what that meant, because it felt natural, just like everything with Tobias, even when the world was trying to pull us apart. My choice had always been Tobias, even when he wasn’t around for me to choose. My heart still belonged to him. A breeze whooshed by, tossing my hair. I breathed into the wind as it continued to beat against me, like the week hadn’t been enough for me to endure. And then strong arms wrapped around me from behind as my insides softened to putty. It had been only a week of knowing Tobias was back in town to stay, and I already knew I was in trouble. Neither of us dared a word as he held me there, the hills of LA a beautiful sight before us, but it was his touch, his breath, his nearness that stole my focus. We’d never even made it to the observatory, but I knew what his mission was in wanting to take me somewhere with a view. It was reminiscent of the one we’d shared in Big Sur, and I couldn’t ignore the rush of those memories that surfaced in the moment. We stood in silence for a long time while Tobias held all of me—physically, emotionally, and metaphorically. His presence grounded me in a way that only my soul could feel. He owned me. All it took was the admission, and for the first time in a very long time, I felt at peace. Once upon a time, Tobias had called me his moon. His rock. His strength. The one he reached for when the waters got rough. As risky as it was to admit it, I still wanted that to be true. “Should we keep going?” I knew Tobias was referring to the observatory, but my response was to a different interpretation of the question. “Yes.” Meet K.K.

Beautiful, broken, and abandoned.
The second I see her in my bar,
With cover charge stamps plastering her hands,
I know what I have to do.
Take her home,
Get her into bed,
Where I know she'll be safe.
I do exactly that.
Leaving her keys and my number,
As I lock the door behind me.
She deserves more,
So much more.
ASHLEY
Shattered, vulnerable, and alone,
Trapped in a lifetime of hurt,
Trying to break the cycle.
But he came in,
Saved me,
From myself,
From my circumstances.
Showing me compassion,
And respect.
Proving I am so much more.
More than just a pathetic drunk girl.

Iâm a goddamn prodigy. Itâs true. Ask anyone.
I threw my first curveball the day I was born.
The whole town is waiting on me.
To live up to my fatherâs famous name. To reach for the stars.
All I want to reach for is her.
But Ashley is the sweet addiction I canât afford. Sheâs my best friendâs sister. Hell, sheâs practically my little sister. For years, Iâve protected her from guys that want one thing. What happens now that Iâve turned into one of them? Whoâs gonna shield her from the way I was made, from my little white lies and from what Iâm about to become?
My game plan sounds simple: Pitch my way into the Major League draft and stay out of Ashley Fosterâs pants. That first part may be statistically difficult.
The second feels damn near impossible.
Ashley
From the moment we met, I knew he was trouble.
The kind my mother sent me to find.
The type that ruins you for any other brand.
When we were young kids, I didnât know what to call the frogs and butterflies that danced in my belly whenever Brayden came near. Now I know they have a name.
Those three little words that could heal or destroy him.
Before Brayden, my life was normal. And then it wasnât. It couldnât be. Ever again. How was I to know stealing his seat would change all our lives?
Anger and forgiveness share two halves of the same coin.
Our story might make you choose sides.
Interference is a slow burn, coming of age romance that takes readers from the sweet anticipation of first times to the passion of soul mates finally staking their claim. With a touch of Dawsonâs Creek and a taste of Friday Night Lights, it is the first half of the completed St. Michaels duet.

Excerpt
When I meet Joel Matthews, Iâm in an unexpected place in life.
Divorceville.
I mean who expects that after fourteen years of marriage to your high school sweetheart.
Not me.
It hits me while celebrating my birthday with my sisters that Iâm thirty-five and single. Shouldnât I finally date someone other than my ex?
I totally deserve that, right?
After way too many lemon drop shots, Iâm tricked into trying on my younger sister considerate gift as she put it. Did I mention itâs a gag gift? A âmy milkshakes bring all the boys to my yardâ t-shirt and velour sweatpants with âSin-a-Bunsâ written across my bottom which she finds all too hilarious.
Thatâs how Joel finds me, too smashed to open my apartment door and when I do, I take a drunken slip and slid across the floor with my Sin-A -Buns on full display.
Joel doesnât seem to notice. Then again, I swear I heard a chuckle. But no matter, heâs right there to make sure Iâm okay as any knight in shiny armor should do.
Okay, where did that come from? Clearly, Iâm not in my right frame of mine.
When I look up into his gorgeous face, I forget all the reasons why itâs a bad idea to hook-up with my twenty-something neighbor. In fact, itâs a fan-freaking-tastic idea.
(Ride that pony, girl? Did I really just think that?)
Until I wake in the morning with a delicious ache between my legs and a pounding headache. Iâm mature enough not to regret it, but adult enough to realize it canât happen again.
FirstâIâm too old for him. Heâs in his twenties for goodness sakes.
Secondâ Iâm single for the first time in years. Like Iâve only ever dated one guy.
ThirdâShouldnât I date multiple men before I find the one? Wasnât that my first mistake?
Only Joel isnât giving up.
Heâs determined to prove age is just a numberâ
And Iâm his number one.

Chapter 1
Alyx
Midnight. The witching hour. The time evil came out to play. It was also the time when they arrived. The roar of engines sliced through the silence of night and set my heart racing. My skin tingled, and heat spread through me like wildfire.
It was him. The man Iâd been watching from my bedroom window ever since they started coming around. He would come once a week, and always around midnight. Three motorcycles would be parked in the dark out front, and I would watch as he and two other men made their way to our front door.
Leather cuts, torn jeans, and shit-kicker boots set them apart from us and our designer label clothing. Even in the dark they looked mean and callous.
One of them had a clean-shaven head, and the other short hair, cut neatly. But him? He had longer hair. Darkâthe same color as midnightâand it settled just below his shoulders. It was never styled, never neatly put in place, but always disheveled. There was this thing he did with his hair after taking off his helmet, pushing his fingers through the strands and pulling it back. It was like he tried to make it seem moreâ¦chaotic. Messed up. Perfect.
From the second floor of our house, it was easy to see his frame was bigger than the other two. Long body, broad shoulders, denim jeans clinging to thick thighs. During the last year, I had committed every inch of his frame to memory. Thinking about him. Fantasizingâ¦my stranger in the dark.
His weekly visits were one of my fatherâs many secrets. A well-respected police commissionerâs reputation would be ruined if the public knew about his ties with one of New Yorkâs most notorious motorcycle gangs. I never could figure out what kind of business my dad would have with these men. But while I stared from my window at the man in the shadows, I didnât really care. The way my heart kept racing, my stomach filled with a kind of excitement Iâd never felt before, I knew I had grown addicted to it. The thrill of watching him, studying himâ¦desiring him.
He never looked around when he walked up to the front door. Under the dim light that came from the porch, I could make out the contour of his face and the shadow of his beard. But everything about him screamed business. Determination. Danger. Every step he took was calculated, confident, and undeniably dominant. He was the alpha, the leaderâeven I could see that.
The weekly visits usually lasted about an hour, maybe less. And I would wait by the window with so much expectation from the prospect of catching another glimpse of him, because this was the exciting part. The part where he left. It was the part I loved the most.
The front door would open, and first Iâd see their shadows falling on the well-manicured lawn and cobble walkway. I would lean to the side of the window, my heart thumping erratically inside my chestâ¦waitingâ¦anticipating.
Then he would appear, his back toward me. The cut he wore told me who he was, a member of the American Street Kingsâa wicked skull with the American flag proudly displayed on the leather. It was beautiful and threatening at the same time.
Heâd reach his Harley, and I would straighten, my heart wanting to crawl out of my throat. My stomach would turn into a thousand knots within a split second as I watched him throw his cigarette to the ground, pressing on the little yellow coal with his boot. He would turn his head, glancing over his shoulder in my direction. Then, finally, the moment I had been waiting for ever since I heard the roar of their motorcycles coming down our driveway.
The moment when he turned around and looked right at me. I swallowed hard, equal parts excitement and fear running rampant inside me, but I refused to look away because it was all there. It was there, in his eyes. I could see it all the way from the second floor. The promise. The vowâ¦the warning.
He would come for me. One day. Whether I wanted him to or not.
