“Hawk…”
“One chance, Anna. That’s all I need,” he said softly against her lips. His tongue lapped at her lower lip and made her moan when he nipped it with his teeth. “Even if it means keeping my hands off you the whole time while we try to make it work. I want to show you we can have more than hot, spicy sex between us.”
Anna shivered, her body melting into his as she finally let her heart begin to beat with expectation. Dared she hope? Hawk had shown her so much since they’d met. Proved to her how strongly she could be desired by a man who knew her worth. And though she’d tried to deny to herself that it was more than just the physical, right now she was beginning to see that if she only rose to the challenge, she might reap the benefits thereof.
And yet her smile was teasing and she gazed up at him. “Oh I don’t know…I kind of liked the hot, spicy sex.”
“Me too,” Hawk growled, his fingers sliding down her shoulders to her hips which he jerked hard against his swollen crotch. “But we can slow down, babe. We can take this step by step. I want to woo you…take you on romantic dates. Know all your dreams and what makes you tick. And I’m willing to let you into my world, too. We’ve got a connection, Anna. I felt it the second we met. And my gut instincts are never wrong.”
“Neither are mine,” Anna said soberly. Her whole heart told her to believe him. Her very soul reminded her that he was the first man who’d made her truly let go. She’d never been like this with Aaron and who knew; maybe he had sensed for both of them that it would be better if they tried to find their true match. And heaven help her; Hawkins Malone, sexy Marine with the sure, warm touch and passionate heart, matched her needs admirably well…
Chapter Nineteen
Two months of celibacy around a man like Hawk would make any normal woman start climbing the walls. But Hawk seemed determined to keep to his decision that they kept sex out of the equation in their budding relationship.
And Anna respected him for his willpower but goodness, it was starting to actually affect her not being able to have him. She’d tried everything in the past many weeks since they’d started dating just to get him to give in to her wiles. Seducing him with sexy clothes, touching him suggestively, or trying to get him in situations where he’d be helpless to resist her charms.
But resist her he did, every time.
Well, now that her birthday was coming up, she decided she was just about done with waiting. If he dared ask her what she wanted for her birthday, Anna swore she’d lay it on the line in no uncertain terms that what she needed was to be taken, hard. Until she couldn’t walk.
Turned out she was to have her wish.
There was a surprise party, of course. With Bertha, Janice, Rebecca and all their other friends plus of course Marcus and Hawk. Anna felt glad to be in love and to have Hawk by her side on her twenty-sixth birthday. By now she’d planned to be married and everything, but right then she wasn’t bothered about meeting so-called “milestones” that the world mapped out for people. For now, her most significant life event was earning the love and trust of the man of her dreams.
One tall gorgeous Marine, Hawk Malone.
When everyone was gone and they were alone, he wasted no time in drawing her close, kissing her deeply and telling her how happy he was to have her. Anna felt gleeful when he swung her into his arms and started leading her straight to her bedroom. Oh joy! She realized that tonight, indeed, would be the night.
They undressed and he spread her out upon the sheets like a feast he couldn’t wait to devour. He covered her body with his powerful weight and kissed her lips.
“Happy birthday, babe,” he said huskily, his hands cupping her head.
Anna’s hands flattened on his broad, smooth-skinned chest. “Am I going to get my big present now? Lord knows I’ve waited long enough for it,” she said with playful admonition.
“I know babe…and believe me, so have I. I’ve had a thousand cold showers since we started dating. I’m starting to think I have ice flowing through my veins now.” He was chuckling.
Anna laughed with delight. “All right then…allow me to at least thaw you out and make you nice and warm again.” Her body glided and writhed beneath him, making him conscious of each of her giving, soft curves.
“Temptress,” Hawk groaned.
Anna wasn’t interested in foreplay right now; she wished he’d plunge straight in and just own her.
“And before you distract me from what I was about to say…,” Hawk continued with a wince of pain as she slid her hands down his back and cupped his ass cheeks. She was moments from guiding him right to her moist, waiting entrance, and she felt his muscular frame tremor in anticipation. And yet still, he held back.
“Anna…tonight’s extra special, and for one more reason,” he finally said quietly, gazing into her eyes. “I’ll be leaving again for duty tomorrow. It’s going to be probably for several weeks. My team has to report in at 7 am in the morning.”
Anna groaned in agony, holding tighter to him as if he was already slipping from her fingers. “No, Hawk. Please.”
“I’ll be back, Anna. I’ll always be back.” His voice was deep with promise as he kissed her lips.
“I don’t want to lose you,” she breathed, tears welling in her eyes. “What you do is so dangerous…”
“Well, now I have more reason to make sure I always make it back…because I have you,” he told her firmly, his eyes tender. “It’ll be good for a Marine to know he has a fiancée waiting eagerly for his return. That’s one huge motivation, I can tell you.”
“Fiancée?” Anna’s voice was trembling.
“Yes,” Hawk said, reaching beneath the pillow at Anna’s head and retrieving a diamond ring. “I love you Anna. And I want to marry you. Please say yes?”
Oh my God oh my God thought Anna, shocked to the marrow.
But she didn’t need to think twice. “Of course! Yes!” she said fervently, and watched with breathless joy as he grinned from ear to ear and slipped the ring on her engagement finger.
“You’ve made me so happy,” Hawk said deeply, and bent his head to take her lips. Anna returned the pressure and poured her whole heart in that kiss. Their tongues linked and clashed as with unerring accuracy, Hawk’s cock found her pussy. He slid in deep just as her hips moved up to meet him, and they both gasped into each other’s mouths.
It felt like forever since she’d had him inside her. And yet, once he was buried to the balls, it seemed like he’d never even left. Her soaked walls wrapped snugly around his hard length and stretched happily as he filled her. Hawk started to buck his hips repeatedly as he thrust so hard it was almost painful. And Anna welcomed the sweet agony, feeling her tender flesh melt beneath his pounding heat.
Her legs spread wider for him as she scored his back with her raking nails. Their kiss grew sloppier and hotter and the lewd sounds of his cock drilling her wetness filled the air. Every time Hawk slammed into her, Anna felt a jolt in her belly that felt like he would rip her apart.
She loved that his passion matched hers; she was so hungry for all of him that she was sobbing with her desire. She knew she would take as much of this as she could to hold her for the lonely weeks ahead. But her soldier would come back; she believed in her heart that he always would.
Just like he promised.
They rocked upon the bed in the fiery dance of lust. In every position they could maneuver, they tested the agility of their passions. And nothing was left to chance. Again and again Anna felt Hawk jab mercilessly at her g-spot till she was screaming for more. Her name ground from his lips in groans of pleasure as he fucked her even more deeply than ever. His thick long cock became slick with juices from her pussy as their constant smacking together reached its crescendo.
At last, lying side by side, face to face, Hawk clutched her hip tightly as he surged into her with those final series of drilling thrusts that had her body stretching out while she cried out her release. His orgasm was only seconds behind, maki
ng him roar as her walls contracted around his twitching cock. His seed filled her and she was moaning, her arms tight around his neck as she sought his lips.
“I love you,” Anna whispered clearly, before kissing her lover with a branding heat that sealed all their promises.

BIG GIRL BACKSTAGE PASS
By Aubrey Rose
CHAPTER ONE
Shannon hung up the phone and squealed, her voice ringing through the apartment.
“Did someone die, or win the lottery?” Brynn yelled from the other room. Shannon fairly skipped down the hallway to poke her head into her roommate’s bedroom. Brynn was laying in bed, her earphones tugged down around her neck and her linear algebra textbook propped up on her knees.
“Jason did. Not died, won the lottery. He called in and got tickets to Wilder Side! The concert is this week in LA!”
Brynn’s eyebrows raised slightly. Some people might think that she was unimpressed, but Shannon knew that for her, this indicated extreme excitement.
“That’s that boy rock band thing, right?”
“Yeah, Wilder Side.”
“You’ve been calling like every morning,” Brynn said.
“And now all of my hard work has paid off,” Shannon said. She plopped herself on the end of Brynn’s bed. “Backstage passes; can you believe it?”
“So Jason’s taking you?”
“Hell yeah! Who else would he take?”
“I don’t know, I thought he had a boyfriend.” Brynn’s eyebrows furrowed as she examined a problem in her textbook and scribbled something down in her notes.
“No, they broke up over summer break, remember?”
“Right, right.”
Shannon reached over and stole Brynn’s paper away.
“Um, hello, Shannon, I have to get this homework done,” Brynn said. Shannon had one more semester left in her art major – photography, to be precise – and Brynn was studying math. As different as they were, they got along impeccably as roommates.
“Um, hello, you have to be at least a little excited for me first,” Shannon said. “It’s Alex Wilder!”
Brynn rolled her eyes.
“Oh my god,” Brynn said, her voice taking on the inflection of a California valley girl. “That is like, so hella awesome and stuff. Alex Wilde is like, totally the hottest.”
“Thank you,” Shannon said, smiling as she handed Brynn her homework back. “It’s Alex Wilder. And yes, he totally is the hottest.”
“Okay, okay,” Brynn said, slipping her headphones back over her head. “Tell him hi for me.”
“I will,” Shannon said. “But now I have to go shopping and buy the hottest dress ever so that I can get with the hottest rock star ever.”
“Mmmhmm, congratulations,” Brynn said, already absorbed in her homework. Shannon hopped off of the bed and Brynn pulled her headphones away from one ear. “Oh, and there’s some everything bagels in the fridge if you want.”
“Thanks,” Shannon said. She walked all the way down to the kitchen before stopping in the middle of the doorway. What was she doing? She couldn’t eat carbs right before going dress shopping for a dress that Alex Wilder was going to see her in. But everything-bagels sounded so good. She hesitated at the entrance of the kitchen, torn over the decision. Bagels. Alex Wilder. Bagels. Alex. Bagels. Alex.
“Come on Shannon,” she said softly to herself. She turned on her heel and walked away, casting one mournful gaze behind her towards the kitchen. The bagels seemed to be whispering her name, like sirens luring her in towards the coast to be cast upon the sharp rocks.
“Come on Shannon,” she said again, picking up her purse from the counter with a newfound determination. “Alex Wilder is waiting for you.”
***
Jason met her at the door and they both let out simultaneous screams of joy.
“I still can’t believe it. Can you believe it?” Jason said.
“I can’t believe it. Can you believe it?”
“It’s like a dream come true.” Jason held his hands over his heart in a swooning pose. “Alex Wilder. Motherfucking Wilder Side. Insane, absolutely insane.”
“Okay, let’s get this show on the road,” Shannon said. “We don’t have very much time to turn ourselves into divas.”
“I was going to go for the grunge groupie look,” Jason said. “You know, ratty jeans and unwashed hair.”
“Sounds irresistible.” Shannon rolled her eyes at him.
“Yeah, well, you don’t know how Alex likes his groupies,” Jason said.
“I’m sure he’s all about the hobo chic.”
“Okay, okay, you win. Let’s go to the mall,” Jason said. “I’ll drive.”
“Thanks, darling,” Shannon said, flipping her hair over her shoulder. They walked to his car and he graciously opened the door for her. She graciously accepted.
Sitting down in the passenger seat, she felt a flutter of nervousness pass through her body. They were going to actually see Wilder Side and get to go backstage. They might even get to talk with Alex Wilder himself. It was exciting and nervewracking at the same time.
“Girl, we are gonna get DONE UP,” Jason said, plopping his lanky frame behind the steering wheel. He turned the ignition and revved the motor. “Gentlemen, start your engines!”
Shannon felt her nervousness fade away. Jason had a natural talent for friendship, and she could never feel anxious when he was around. And they were really going to see Wilder Side! She couldn’t believe it.
“Woooohoooo!!!” Shannon screamed out the window as they drove off. “Wilder Side, here we come!!”
At the mall, Shannon felt completely at sea. Jason pulled off every dress from the rack for her to try out and pushed her into the dressing room.
“You can’t be serious,” Shannon said, aft
er trying on the first dress.
“Let me see.”
“You do not want to see this.”
“Now I really want to see.”
“Noooooooo,” Shannon said.
“Yessssssss...”
Shannon walked out of the dressing room, her hands on her hips.
“I look like a hot dog,” she said.
Jason burst out laughing.
“You are so right.”
Shannon looked into the full-length mirror. She did look like a hot dog. The dress was pink, made out of the clingiest fabric known to man, and it accentuated every unsightly bulge on her body.
“Ugh,” Shannon said, turning to see her butt. The dress somehow managed to make her ass look like it had ripples in it.
“Honestly, I think you look more like a sausage than a hot dog,” Jason said, his hand stroking an invisible beard. “A Toulouse saucisse.” Shannon punched him in the arm lightly.
“Well, we know what dress I’m not getting.”
“An inauspicious beginning,” Jason said. “But don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll find something.”
“Don’t give me anything else pink,” Shannon said. “I don’t think Alex Wilder likes hot dogs.” She closed the dressing room door behind her. The sausage dress could not come off fast enough.
One by one they went through the selection, but nothing seemed to work. Despite Jason’s attempts to make light of the situation, Shannon grew more and more desperate. It seemed like every dress was tailor made to accent some horrible part of her body. One sequined dress fit nicely at her waist but pinched like hell around her shoulders, causing her arm fat to bulge out of the sleeves. Another silky green dress was way too tight on her bust. Most of the slinky dresses had too-small hems that rode up her thighs, and anything that fit her ample bust and waist seemed to be designed to look frumpy.
She tried on one dress that seemed perfect at first. It was sexy but not too sexy, a nice satin A-line. Then she walked out of the dressing room and twirled around in front of Jason, and both of her boobs popped out of the top. Mortified, she covered herself with one arm and ran back into the dressing room.
