Dirty Angel (The List #2)
Page 33
I tape down some gauze over the top to keep it dry and clean. I clean up the cut on the corner of his beautiful lips too. Then, unable to resist the urge again, I gently place my lips over his and kiss him softly, finding some sense of solace.
“Thank you. Forget the morphine, you’re beautiful lips could’ve kissed away the pain.”
“Hmm maybe, but I reckon the injection’s probably kicking in too.”
“Did I tell you that you’re amazing?”
“I don’t remember reading ‘becoming delusional’ as one of the side-effects.”
Jax smiles at my lame attempt of deflecting away from his compliment. When he says such sweet things, my brain screams “Ssshh”, not wanting my heart to hear him. Stupid really because my heart seems to be the one running the show at the moment… Just as long as I can keep it away from confessing all via the microphone that is my motormouth… again.
“Well, you are amazing Bethany Taylor.”
“So are you Jaxson Carter. So are you.”
He is going to be okay. I know he is. But are we? After this, what’s going to happen to us?
The line between caring for a friend and falling in love with them has well and truly been irrevocably crossed. I haven’t tried to distinguish when that happened, but what I do know is that I don’t want to live life on the fence ever again. I don’t want to deny myself potential happiness through fear of taking a risk that could leave me hurt. I’m stronger now, ironically thanks to Jax.
Maybe I don’t want to walk away unscathed. Maybe my connection with Jax deserves me to fight and accept the inevitable pain. So that’s what I’ll do. I will scratch beneath the surface and see just how far it takes me. I’m not afraid of what I might find. I’ve already accepted the likelihood of Jax rejecting me is near certain.
I believe that our paths crossed for a reason and so when they part again I need to know that I fought for him and, above all else, I will make sure he knows how easy it is to love him. No matter what.
I’d rather die chasing my dreams than live running from my nightmares.
Trouble is, Jax has the potential to fulfil my dreams as well as becoming my worst nightmare.
Another Day
Lying here beside you, you are my strength, you set me free
Without realising you’ve opened your heart for me to see
But it’s hard for me to feel close to somebody so far away
I pray our worlds will collide, in another life, another day
Heartbeaten
Standing here
Two hearts beating
Knowing here
One day we’ll part
Loving you
Whilst you’re with me
Wishing this
Was just the start
What’s Next?
Thank you so much for reading Dirty Angel, book two of The List Series.
Hopefully you’ve enjoyed the journey so far and are excited to read on. As with Dirty Angel, Fallen Angel cranks up the heat another few notches from red hot to scorching. So when you’re about to dive into Fallen Angel, get your swooning stances at the ready with a soft landing behind you.
What’s next on the luscious list for Beth and Jax? Sex on the beach with a side order of kink? Sexual role-play with a 69 for dessert?
It won’t be long until Fallen Angel (#3) and Always Angel (#4), are ready and waiting patiently to satisfy you now that you’ve had your fill of Beth and Jax in Dirty Angel.
All you need to delve back in, is some ‘me time’, a few fingernails for biting and some breath for hitching.
I would really appreciate it if you could take a moment to leave a review. A lot of readers use reviews to help them make their decisions as to which book to invest in next.
Many thanks for giving your precious time to reading what I’ve written. That concept still blows my mind.
Fallen Angel, book three of The List Series;
After reading Lost Angel and Dirty Angel, you know exactly what this next book promises—lots of face fanning achievements off Beth’s F**k It List.
After being thoroughly ‘jubilated’ in Dirty Angel, the wings were off.
Now in the capable hands of her unlikely temporary lover, he shows Beth how to let go. With the list acting as her sexy platform to fulfil her lust hungry imagination, she continues to surpass her expectations and turn fantasies into reality.
This is the hottest book of the series so far! But doesn’t that all sounds far too sexy and simple?
Beth’s journey has just been taken to a whole other level. She’s exposed to new experiences and her boundaries are tested in a way that could have her wanting to say 'f**k it' to her F**k It List. Maybe she’s got more important things to focus her attentions on.
Beth said that she’d rather die chasing her dreams than live running from her nightmares. But as the plot thickens, the dark clouds loom and with her emotions running at an all-time high, she’s confused about what she truly wants. She’s torn between following her heart, or resorting to past behaviours to protect it.
Can somebody’s past dig their heels so far into them that they can never leave it behind?
This road of discovery and exploration will take Beth through the entire series as she tackles her filthy ‘F**k It List’.
The List Series; Lost Angel (#1), Dirty Angel (#2), Fallen Angel (#3) and Always Angel (#4). All books are intended to be read in sequence. These are not stand alone.
The Author
N K Love is a sucker for a beautiful romance, especially when it comes with a bucketful of face fanning. Her partner doesn’t share her obsession and there’s always eye rolling whenever she gets giddy or teary over a great scene in a book or on screen. When she isn’t reading or writing, she’s probably being a child with her children or being a loner with her coin collection. Yes, I said coin collection, don’t laugh!
