He doesn’t deserve to know them.
Ransom Riley Hale's friends think his life is charmed: first
string as a freshman on a championship-winning college football team. A father
with two Super Bowl rings. A mother with platinum albums and multiple Grammies
under her belt. But that brilliant shine on the surface hides the darkness
beneath; it's all Ransom has ever known.
Despite the shadows he walked in, once there was a blinding light fracturing the darkness. It brought the promise of hope and happiness. He’d been careless, filled with pride and stupidity and lost that light. Ripped it from the world.
Now, the shadows are dimming again. Aly King surges into his life threatening to pull him from the darkness. She is everything Ransom can never be again. Her light feels too warm, promises him that there is more waiting for him beyond the shadows.
But the shadows are relentless, resurfacing when he thinks he is safe, and Ransom knows he must keep Aly from them too before he pulls her down into the darkness with him.

Oh Ransom, he made my heart hurt. Ransom Riley is the son of Kona and Keira. On the outside, it looks like he should have the perfect life. Parents are "famous" and his family seems like the perfect match--former NFL player and a famous singer. But Ransom holds a lot of guilt inside from his past and getting away from it, proves to be too hard for him.
Aly King is living her life as best as she can. She lives on her own, hard working and is a great dancer/teacher. She's known Ransom over the years from afar. But when they meet up again, sparks fly, but not without Ransom's past ghosts always seems to catch up with him.
Ransom and Aly develop a friendship over time and it turns into something more. She brings light to his darkness, and tries to help him overcome it. And that ending...oh...ugh...
No spoilers here. Thick Love is a great story that is full of drama and angst and some heartbreak. Until next time...

She offered me a quick glance, one
that was closed off and guarded before she held her weight on her knees,
shaking harder than ever, rubbing herself right against my dick. When she
brushed her fingers across my face, over my mouth, I let her, didn’t pull away,
forgetting that I wasn’t supposed to enjoy this. That I shouldn’t be touching
her at all.
“Beautiful,” I started, closing my
eyes when her breath moistened my bottom lip and she rested further back, a
low, satisfied moan leaving her throat when I lowered my fingers on her hips.
The sensation was potent, made me drunk and I did what I wanted for once, what
I needed. Ironside had gone. The window was covered with a dark curtain, but I
still kept up the show. Only now, I wasn’t acting. This wasn’t a performance.
“God…who…who are you?” No one had managed to make me want like this, make me
crave like this in a long time.
But she didn’t answer. She was
wrapped up in the music, letting it move through her as though it controlled
her. The sounds she made, that sweet, eager groan from her throat when I
breathed against her bare stomach was too much. I couldn’t help myself. Not for
another damn second.
“Shit…I…” My mind spun and the confusion of
feeling guilt and shame and lust and desperation had me stuttering, unable to
keep my hands from stretching over her flat stomach. She didn’t stop me, didn’t
protest when my fingers touched the top of her thong. “I need to touch you.”
Only
for the night.
That’s all it would be. One night.
One moment, and fixating on that one small slip of time allowed my mind and my
body to agree, for once, to forget that I shouldn’t feel this good, that I
didn’t deserve this, that touching something this beautiful, this sweet, had
almost destroyed me.
She moved over me, exulting my senses,
exposing emotions that I thought I’d buried deep, and for just those few sweet,
obliterating minutes, a beautiful stranger made me feel what no one had since
Emily.
“Lower, please” she asked and I was too caught up, too turned on to deny
her a thing or to stop myself from feeling what that small, breathy word did to
my body.
I touched her. Fingers sliding under
her slowly, gazing on her face when I pushed past that thong, to the warm, wet,
so fucking sweet cleft of her pussy and yes, shit yes she gave back to me what I thought I’d lost, her trembling
body weaving some kind of magic over my own that fogged my mind, had my hands
gripping skin, my fingers clutching flesh, straining upwards to meet each grind
of her beautiful body against me.
“There…yes.” And I let the dancer use me, her body over mine, rubbing
against me, making me needy, desperate and all the while I watched her, head
thrown back, fingers digging into my shoulders, while I touched her deeper than
I had ever touched anyone ever before.
We were senseless, lost to the
communion of music, sweat, sensation all coalescing together, writhing friction
that took me where I hadn’t let myself go since I was sixteen, and she breathed
out into that dark room, hollowing her whispered pants until I couldn’t hear
the music any more or the low hum of the overhead lights; until all that
mattered were her soft breathy moans,
and the deep groan of my voice mixed with the sensation of her searing heat,
the smell of sweat and the labored realization that this beautiful woman I
didn’t know was making me come.
Finally. Oh, god, finally… and I let
go. I fucking let go against her and away from everything that had held me
back…
My gasp—shocked, overwhelmed—became
a growling shout, louder than hers, deeper and I only came back to myself when
she shuddered, when the bite of her fingernails left me blinking, understanding
what had happened right as she came down from her own peak.
“Oh…oh God…” it was all I could
manage, that level cry of surprise, confusion. “I just…God.”
She didn’t say anything.
Seconds passed with our breaths
mingling, gazes focused, coming together just as reality broke apart the lost
moments we had given ourselves instinctively, like it was usual, like it wasn’t
some naked desperation that blinds reason, blankets thought.
I saw the question in her eyes, that
desperate curiosity that choked down my own. What do you say? What do you feel
when this happens with a complete stranger? There was a rush, a booming zip
that began to fade just then. It had started the moment she came to me, the
second I grazed my fingertips on her wrist. Now it was dimming, numbed by the
awkward silence around us.
Seconds lengthened with her damp
skin, her heavy breasts resting in my hands and the wet, uncomfortable mess in
my jeans making me feel as if I’d pissed myself.
“Um…” it was her voice that broke
the trance and the discomfort came in a like soaking splash into that dim,
quiet room. Behind that mask, her eyes were shut and the tremble in her hands
then wasn’t from arousal. The stiff bearing in her shoulders returned and she
sat up, eyes blinking and one small line crowded on her forehead.
“I’ll just…I can’t.” Then she
exhaled, cleared her throat. “I’ll…go…” My hand fell away from her and that
awkwardness felt thick, full as she stumbled off my lap before I could speak,
before I thought I should stop her. She ran from the room leaving nothing
behind but the echo of her heels against the hardwood floor and the heavy
sensation of surprise and guilt thick in my mind.
