Excerpt #1 Chapter 2
Ryder
What is this girls
name again? Ah hell, she wants to feel
special and I can’t even manage to remember her name. Lauren, Lori, Laura, something like that, I
think. Brayden will find this
entertaining once we arrive at the restaurant.
I text him to see if we can stop by for introductions, he said sure
thin. I am off to let some chick meet my
roommate and best friend. The things I
do to get a new piece of ass.
Girls are raised with
a misconception of prince charming coming to take away all of their problems. Thing is, prince charming doesn’t exist in
real life, that is why they are in fairy tales.
Like Cinderella’s step sisters trying to make the shoe fit, women can’t
form men into a certain fit, the way they want.
When it’s right, the slipper will slide right on. Always remember it’s made of glass so it must
be handled with care. That is the
reality of love right there, when its right you still have to be gentle and
take care of it in all of its fragile states.
Add to that the
balance of Daddy/daughter relationships and men don’t stand a chance. You will either find the Daddy’s girl who’s
first love is her Dad. These girls are
confident. They are in no rush to accept
anything less than real emotion, real love because their Dad gave them that
security. The flip side to that are the
ones with Daddy issues. The woman whose
dead beat Dad walked away without teaching them real love; only abandonment. These girls are usually easy and are just
looking for a connection in any way they can feel it. Even if it’s just a fleeting moment, a rush,
they want to feel love. After a few
heartbreaks, they become real man haters.
Either way, from
childhood, most little girl’s dream of the day they find their forever in a
man. This makes it easy for them to fall
for the many lines a hormone driven dude, such as myself, will give them. They strive so much for that connection, that
security, they will believe just about anything you say. What they know to be a lie, they convince
themselves that they can change in you.
Overcome the bad boy, change the player into a one woman man, surely
they can love you enough to change you.
Love conquers all, after all, that’s what they are told from the time
they are hosting pretend tea parties.
I am young still, not ready to be tied down or
deal with the delicate nature of love and a serious relationship. I do believe in love, commitment, and
forever. I just know that now is not the
time in my life for such seriousness.
Until that day comes I want to taste the variety of women that exist in
my world.
I have spent a week
texting this chick, making her feel special.
It’s not enough though and she says she wants to meet my friends. Really feel like she knows me. I love a challenge so fine you can meet my
friends.
We walk into the
restaurant where Brayden is having dinner with Maggie, his girlfriend, and Dina
her roommate. As soon as we enter I feel
a charge in the room. I see her sitting
with them and I am immediately consumed.
She is a magnet drawing me over to her.
Never have I felt an instant pull to someone, like this.
Dina is a downhome,
gorgeous girl. Her makeup is subtle,
with natural looking hair, perhaps just some high lights she just carries a
casual comfortable look. To be honest, I
would find her sexy in a paper bag. She
has on a black shirt that dips down just enough to hint at her cleavage. She has curves, gorgeous curves in all the
right places. She is by no means a big
girl, she is skinny, but with boobs and ass that are definitely enough for a
man to enjoy. Her flat stomach is
calling out for me to run my hand up it to cup her very full breasts or down to
her hips to slide around and scoop her luscious ass. When she looks at me, I feel like she is
looking directly into my soul. The world
seems to stop around us as I am pulled into Dina and everything that is her.
After we get beyond
the hello’s some prick is manhandling my Dina out of her seat. Whoa!
My Dina, where did that come from?
I don’t know why, but my adrenaline and instinct are now in overdrive. I am burning with fire coursing through my
veins.
Before any of us
could react, they were gone. Maggie is
crying as Brayden is trying to quickly settle their check. The blonde with me is grabbing at my arm. I shake her off, leaving her there as I climb
in Braydens car behind Maggie.
When we arrive at the
apartment, Brayden escorts Maggie inside.
I stay out front searching for the prick so I can shove him around a
bit. Adrenaline, anger, disgust, rage,
and an emotion I can’t manage to describe, all well up inside me.
Brayden comes out
almost immediately. The look on his face
is horror and pure hatred. My boy is a
firecracker with a lit fuse about to blow.
The look on his face, his demeanor, it all sends me into overdrive.
Through gritted
teeth, Brayden says, “His name is Michael and he’s roughed her up in the
face. Maggie swears this is the first
time. I don’t give a shit. He needs to be taught a lesson.”
