Hurt Like HELL (new Adult Contemporary Romance) - Plot & Excerpts
Very cold. Freezing cold. I shivered and dropped my foot back into the water. It created a circular ripple, small waves ran towards me, dying well before they were able to reach me. I still couldn’t get the feeling of being touched out of my mind. It was like someone pinched my big toe. Of all things to have happen… to any given person on any given day, from catching that first twinkle of a star in the predawn hours all the way to winning the largest lottery jackpot in history, I swore that my toe had been touched. Pinched. By someone. But yet I was locked in a bathroom, locked in an apartment. In the water, my toe and foot felt fine. It wasn’t cold anymore. That’s when I realized my shoulders were cold. And my neck… my neck started to feel prickly, like a January breeze licking at me. My skin tightened and I found myself whipping my head to the left, wondering if there was a breeze blowing on me. I looked at the toilet. It was a toilet. I took my hand from the water and held it out. The air felt cool against my burning skin, but I didn’t feel anything else out of the ordinary. I turned back, stubborn on relaxing. In a matter of seconds, my body shivered without shivering. My skin pulled and I could feel the goosebumps forming literally everywhere. My skin above the water was one thing, but watching my legs and lower body under the water breakout in goosebumps really scared me. I had the urge to turn my head again, but this time I fought it. A feeling warmed over me, the feeling of being watched. I felt exposed and violated, actually crossing my arms to cover my chest. I sat up more and wished I had used some kind of bubbles or something, anything to completely cloud the water. When I finally succumbed and turned my head again, I saw nothing but I felt something. It was as though someone stood right there – right there!
