Summary from
Goodreads:
He's addicted to
booze. She's addicted to sex...staying sober is only half the battle.
No. More. Sex.
Those are the three words Lily Calloway fears the most. But Loren Hale is
determined to be with Lily without enabling her dangerous compulsions. With
their new living situation—sleeping in the same bed, for real, together—Lily
has new battles. Like not jumping Lo’s bones every night. Not being consumed by
sex and his body.
Loren plans to stay sober, to right all of his wrongs. So when someone
threatens to expose Lily’s secret to her family and the public, he promises
that he’ll do anything to protect her. But with old enemies surfacing, Lo has
more at stake than his sobriety.
They will torment Lily until Lo breaks.
And his worst fear isn’t relapsing. He hears the end. He sees it. The one thing
that could change everything. Just three words.
No. More. Us.
New Adult Romance recommended for readers 18+ for mature content

LOREN
HALE’S POV
Holding
Lily usually solves our problems, but she fights me this time. Ramming her tiny
fists into my hard chest, trying to push me away. “Are you not hearing me?” she
says, shoving my bicep. “I can’t sleep next to you.”
I
keep her in my arms easily, my muscles flexing as I wrap them around her. “Lil,
shh,” I say, my lips finding her ear.
“I
can’t!” she shouts, tears beginning to pool.
“Lil,
you can,” I whisper deeply. “Shh.” I lock her arms together for a minute, her
body wedged between my legs. Tonight will be the most difficult, I remind
myself. It’s confusing for her. She wants to be with me, but my mere presence
tempts her. I don’t ever want her to believe that being alone, being apart, is
the solution.
It’s
not.
She
needs me as much as I need her. We just have to find our footing in this
relationship. And that takes time.
She
grows restless, so I roll on top of her, pinning her legs down with mine,
trapping her small frame. She seems to settle, but her chest rises and falls
heavily, fear swimming in her eyes.
“Who
do you trust more, me or you?” I ask.
“You.”
She doesn’t even hesitate.
“Then
this is how we’re going to sleep.”
She
frowns. “I’m not sure I can hold your weight.”
I smile.
This is why I love her—why I relish in the fact that I’m going to wake up next
to her, my arms wrapped around her delicate body. She’s adorable.
