HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
My excerpt is from PERCEPTION
Eternal Life is To Die For
ZOE
I inched
the door open and saw Noah’s profile as he sat on the pew staring at the wooden
cross above the altar. A guitar rested on his lap.
The
door whined as I pushed on it, and he turned, seeing me come in. He didn’t say
anything, just went back to staring at the cross. I wasn’t sure what I should
do or if he even wanted to see me, but I crossed the dusty sanctuary and sat
next to him.
The
quiet was unnerving, and I set my gaze on the stream of light beaming in from the
higher glass windows. Specks of dust swirled and danced around us.
“I
shouldn’t have come.” I finally said.
“No,
it’s okay.” He shifted slightly, moving the guitar away. He rubbed his hands
along his legs. “I come here to feel closer to my dad. And to pray.”
His
eyes reddened and he pinched them closed. “I pray that God will heal my mother,
and if not, that she’ll have a peaceful existence until he takes her. And that
I’ll have the strength I need when he does.”
He
faced me then and our eyes locked with an intensity that gave me goose-bumps.
“I
pray that God will help me fight temptation,” he said.
I
stared hard back at him, my pulse racing. He still wanted me.
“And
how’s that going?”
He
slid down the pew until he was pressed against me. He nuzzled my neck with his
lips, sending off fireworks. “Not well.”
He
swung his legs up, pulling me gently down on top of him, my whole body
connecting with every inch of his. My heart raced as he cupped my face with his
hands and tenderly kissed my forehead, my eyelids, moving down my cheekbones to
my chin.
He
traced his fingers down my back, sending a storm of electricity throughout my body.
His lips touched mine, soft and warm, and I felt like I was breathing pure
oxygen. Our kisses grew harder, full of hope and longing. I wanted to lose myself
in him and wondered how things had gotten so passionate so fast.
I’d
been with Jackson, but I’d never felt anything as explosive as what I was
feeling now.
I
reached for the button of his jeans, but his hand stopped mine.
“Is
something wrong?”
His
chest rose in short breaths. “It depends what you mean by wrong.”
In
that moment I considered that maybe he’d never been with a girl before.
I
put my hand to my pounding heart, telling myself to breathe.
