Journey To Love – Tanya Reed

OoOokayyy!” I exclaim, taking a deep breath and trying to steady my voice so I don’t sound too drunk. “Birffday, birrrthdaayyy,” I manage, clearing my throat and taking another breath. “Okay. Birth. Day. Girl,” I repeat, saying each word slowly to avoid sounding as intoxicated as I know I am. Lana bursts into laughter with a high-pitched giggle, clearly even more intoxicated than I am, which is saying something.

“I wanna go dance!” she drunkenly whines. Sam wraps his arm around her and announces that he’s taking her back to the nightclub. Patricia and JC have disappeared somewhere, leaving just me and Jacob. Not that I mind, but I’m definitely not sober enough to handle anything, should something actually happen. “You doing okay there, gorgeous?” Jacob asks, pulling me closer to him. I can’t help but smile widely, though I’m not sure if it’s the alcohol coursing through my veins or being this close to him that’s setting my skin on fire.

“Mmhmm, I am peachy keen, Jimmy Dean!” I blurt out, cringing internally at my drunken chatter. Oh my god, Anya, stop talking when you’re drunk! I scold myself internally. Jacob chuckles at my drunken stupor, and we begin strolling around the main deck of the cruise. “It’s so pretty out here at night,” I murmur, taking in the twinkling lights of the city skyline as the cruise ship glides through the dark waters.

Jacob stands behind me, his arms enveloping me in a comforting embrace, the warmth of his body contrasting with the cool breeze blowing off the ocean. “Yeah, it is,” he replies softly, his breath warm against my skin. I feel a shiver run down my spine as his lips brush against the sensitive skin of my neck, sending tingles of excitement coursing through me.

I tilt my head slightly, allowing him better access, savoring the sensation of his kisses. Closing my eyes, I lose myself in the moment, relishing the closeness between us and the serene beauty of the night. The sound of the ocean waves lapping against the hull of the ship creates a soothing rhythm, lulling me into a state of peaceful contentment. When Jacob turns me around to face him, a smile plays at the corners of my lips.

Leaning up on my toes, I meet his gaze with a mixture of anticipation and desire, our lips coming together in a tender, lingering kiss. In that moment, with the stars overhead and the gentle sway of the ship beneath us, time seems to stand still, and all that exists is the connection between us. But as the passion between us escalates, a small voice in the back of my mind whispers a warning but I ignore it, I wanna feel him inside me.

To my parents and grandparents, please don’t read this book.

It’ll save us all money on family therapy later. OceanofPDF.com Prologue 1 Two Years Ago Anya Work today was utterly exhausting, dealing with demanding customers and the discomfort of fending off unwelcome advances from drunken patrons. I reluctantly made my way to Paul’s store, dreading his shift’s end and hoping he wouldn’t be in a foul mood. The last thing I need is another night like last night, especially with Paul.

If he’s in a good mood, maybe he’ll decide to stay with me tonight, but that’s a mixed blessing at best. As I watch him exit the store, I can’t help but feel a twinge of unease. He’s on the phone, and when I ask who he’s calling, his dismissive eye roll only adds to my apprehension.

With a muttered excuse about calling a cab, he tells me to wait outside. I can’t help but wonder why he hasn’t gotten his license yet. I begrudgingly obey, knowing full well the frigid weather outside. I can’t wait for my car to be fixed after Marcus, Paul’s friend, crashed it last week. They didn’t ask; they just took it.
