Riley's Pond (New Adult Romance) - Plot & Excerpts
The law firm rented out The Landing, Marblehead’s popular waterfront restaurant for the celebratory dinner. Dad got his promotion and Michael got me. A merger benefiting everyone. Except ‘yours truly’.I wore a strapless cranberry dress, cut low enough in the front for Michael to leer at my chest, but high enough in back to cover the yellow-green bruise on my back. Luckily, the one on my arm shrunk and I covered it with make-up. I had no idea how I’d manage eating a full meal. I barely kept anything down because my stomach still hurt from where Michael’s fist made contact a couple weeks ago. Weight fell off me every day.The one thing I was grateful for? The bleeding. Constant bleeding. Turns out my period came right on schedule. Coupled with the side effects of either the morning-after pill or internal injuries, I’d been blessed with a two-week reprieve from Michael even attempting to get close to me. Apparently, he’s grossed out by the whole monthly “female issue.” Little did he know, this would be the longest menstrual cycle I could possibly contrive.Michael’s car had two seats with a long console that kept my body separated from his.
