Breaking Bedrock – Britney King

Why are you so angry?” “I’m not angry. I’m done. There’s a difference.” Addie groaned. William pushed her further into the glass. “Is there? Because your body says otherwise.” Addie rammed her elbow into his ribs, gut-checking him the way that she’d been taught. Addie knocked the wind out of him but didn’t knock him to the ground as she’d hoped. “Hmmm. I beg to differ.” She called over her shoulder as she took a seat at her desk and looked through her email.

“God damn it, Addison.” William choked out as he attempted to catch his breath. “I think we both know what this little episode of yours is about.” Addie snorted. “Oh, please. So . . . I assume you’re here to enlighten me.” William walked to the desk and placed both palms on it, towering over her, and looked her straight in the eye. “You saw that BS from the gala and you’re jealous.” “Is that all you’ve got, Mr. Hartman?

Because if so, I’d appreciate it if you’d get out and let me get back to work.” William reached over and tucked a loose strand of hair behind Addie’s ear, causing her to flinch. “Nope, you have no idea how much more I’ve got, baby.” Addie rolled her eyes and buzzed Sondra, requesting she come to her office ASAP.

William smiled wryly and raised his eyebrows. “Smart girl.” William turned to go and but stopped. “Addison, you know you’re lucky I don’t just take you right here on this desk. You like to pretend, but I think we both know that you want it just as much as I do. Play hard to get all you want, but just so I’m making myself clear, this is far from done.” Addie deadpanned. “Two things, Mr. Hartman.

One: You’re wrong; I’m not the jealous type. I like to think of myself as more of the get-even kind. And two: Don’t ever fucking call me baby, again, got it?” William stood at the door, unable to wipe the smile off his face as Sondra looked from Addison to William and back again with a hint of annoyance. Damn that girl was good for him. Ten William made it to the elevator and stepped in just as Sondra rounded the corner and stuck her hand through the closing doors.

Sondra looked him up and down. “You mind if I ride up with you? “It doesn’t appear as though I have a choice,” William chided. “I saw you at the gala with the redhead. Everyone saw you, William.

Table of Contents One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Eleven Twelve Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen Sixteen Seventeen Eighteen Nineteen Twenty Epilogue Acknowledgments About the Author One It is my belief that love is mostly about showing up.

It’s about showing up in the good times and especially in the bad. It’s about being there, showing up, and continuing to show up. If you can do these things day in and day out, no matter what life brings you, you’ll find that love is there for the taking. In time you might come to find that while it’s not in the form you may have imagined—or necessarily the way that you thought it would be— it’s there nonetheless.

This is the story of one such love and how it came to be everything unimaginable and yet so much more than one could have hoped for. Addison Greyer pulled the sweatshirt over her head, stuffed her keys and phone in the pocket, grabbed her pepper spray, and headed out for the run she so desperately needed.

It was a cold, dreary morning, the kind where the cold seemed to settle in your bones until it almost hurt. Gripping the pepper spray tightly, Addie rounded her driveway, taking off in full sprint, pushing herself harder and faster than she had in some time.

Although her eyes stung and her lungs burned, she knew better than to stop. Instead, she let her mind drift back and forth over the past few months as though searching for a clue, any tiny shred of evidence that may have simply been overlooked.
