Faith Ann has
always lived a simple life as the farmer's daughter until one day something
happens that will change her life forever. Now faced with the choices of flight
or fight, she leaves home and doesn't look back. Setting out on the journey of
a lifetime.
Ryder Porter
is the golden child of the DDMC. Thought to be a bad boy, he is also known as a
teddy bear to the women that he lets in. Which are few and far between. Ryder
is used to getting what he wants, so when fate intervenes and shows him
something he wants, he goes for it. Though Faith is not his usual easy
conquest.
Faith has
never been one to give in to anything, but will Ryder be able to persuade Faith
to give in to this temptation?
Excerpt
“Faith, oh just the person
I wanted to talk to.” And that is when I hear the voice I have been waiting to
hear for weeks now. It’s him, it’s Ryder. I almost feel like I
could do jumping jacks I am so happy. No, Faith. Keep your cool! The
images of his gorgeous body flood my mind as I hear his voice curl around my
ear drum.
“Y…ye…yes…” Pull it
together Faith! “Yes, that’s me.” I say on little too high of a note.
Clearing my throat, I
continue. “Is there something I can help you with? Or are you done wasting my
time?” I ask with snarky tone to my voice.
“Ah, my sweet
girl, what a mouth you have on you. What I would do to….” He starts to go into
details but I cut him off.
“Is there something
important you are calling for?” I bluntly ask him, becoming rather sick of his
games in this short amount of time we have interacted.
“Oh yeah, is my
sister around?” It sounds more like a statement than a question.
“Hang on; let me see if
she’s here.” I start to turn away from the counter to look for this woman when
I realize, I have no idea who his sister is! “Wait, who’s your sister?”
He starts to laugh on the
other end of the phone, “Layla, of course.” He starts to laugh even harder once
he says her name.
Standing there staring at
the back of Layla’s head trying to put the pieces together on how these two are
related, I scratch my head and get her just like he asked. “Layla you have a
phone call.”
Layla turns around and nods
her head towards me and finishes up her conversation with Lloyd before walking
over to me. I see that they are almost done so I get on the phone; “She will be
right with you, sir.”
“Oh, I love hearing you say
‘sir’. Gives me all kinds of dirty ideas.” He purrs into the phone.
Completely in shock and not
knowing what to say, I cover my mouth with my hand. “So tell me something about
yourself Faith, while we are waiting for Layla.” He says ever so casually.
I have no idea how to
respond to him or if my words would even come out right if I tried to talk to
him right now; so I just ignore him and hope that he won’t continue to talk to
me.
“Oh, look. Here she comes.”
I say to Layla as she is walking up to me with a strange look on her face as
she sees the look on my face. “Well, you have yourself a blessed day now and
God bless.” Maybe if I throw some real southern manners in there he’ll leave me
alone.
But knowing this man he is
going to have something to say back to me no matter what tone or words I use.
“Oh yes, you’re going to be
a fair challenge, but I can promise you this I get what I want and I keep what
I want.” He clicks his tongue on the other end of the phone. “I know you felt
the connection between us, so when the time comes. Don’t fight it, just let
Ryder take control.” He says in a commanding tone that’s dripping with raw
sexuality.
“Excuse me, but I am
not someone that you can just have and keep. I actually like being myself and
not being told what to do.” I spit into the phone as I start to shake from
being so frustrated and just flat out pissed off at this baboon.
Layla stops in front of me
and stares right at me, mouthing the word ‘what’ I shake my head no at her and
hold up my finger to signal one minute.
“Faith? Did I lose
you?”
“No… You didn’t lose me.
You didn’t have me in the first place, but I’m here.” I say back.
“I will be back in
two days. You will have dinner with me when I get back. I would love to get to
know you.” He is asking me on a date? Actually he isn’t asking me he is telling
me. Is he kidding?
“I don’t think so;
I’m not interested in going anywhere with you. So my answer is no. Sorry.” I
let the cockiness seethe through my voice.
“Faith, run for as
long as you want ‘cause I am not giving up on you. I like the chase and I love
a challenge.” He clicks his tongue again, “So run, run while you can. Cause,
I’m coming for you baby.” I can hear his smile through the phone.
“Get over yourself
douche bag!” I say with disgust in my voice as I hand the phone over to Layla.
“Here, he is all yours!”
