NEEDING THE MEMORIES
The Rocker Series novella
My Demon.
And I’m his Angel.
Our life hasn’t always been perfect, but to me as long as I get to wake up to Angel in my arms every morning and get to tuck our girls into bed at the end of each day I’ll be the happiest man in the world. Nothing can come between us, nothing can tear us apart.
Only…I have one regret. One that is still a black void in my head.
Every year it’s the same.
The regret.
The self-loathing for the man I was back then.
The anger that I’d taken something from the woman who has given herself to me so freely and being unable to remember a single second of it. This year it’s worse for me. It’s slowly driving me crazy.
Maybe it’s time to hit rewind and give us both a do over for that night.
Maybe what I really need is a memory to replace that empty blackness that is trying to swallow me whole.

Excerpt
The bedroom was empty so I went into the living
room. Empty. The door to the balcony was open, letting a slight breeze blow
into the room. Outside, lights twinkled and danced in the growing darkness.
Faintly I heard laughter coming from the pool in the courtyard.
“Drake?”
“In here.”
Following the sound of his voice, I headed for
the dining room, and stopped when I saw the table set for dinner. Candles were
already lit, beautiful china in golden rose was set out, and even a bottle of
what looked like sparkling cider was in a bucket of ice on the table. None of
this had been there when I’d gone in for my shower. But it was the man standing in the center
of the room who had my breath catching in my throat.
Dressed in a black suit, with his jacket hanging
open to reveal his shirt untucked and unbuttoned, Drake looked delicious. He’d taken the man bun
down before we’d
left the house earlier that day, but it was back now. Like me, he was
completely barefoot. “I take it we aren’t going out for
dinner, then?”
A lopsided grin played at his lips. Fuck, that
grin did dangerous things to my heart. For a second I couldn’t catch my breath as
he walked toward me. “Well, I have this
wife who doesn’t
like ostentatious places that would be considered romantic. So I figured I’d treat her to dinner
in tonight.”
“G-good idea,” I whispered as he held out his hand. My palm rubbed against his
before he clasped his big fingers around it and then pulled me in close. As if
by magic, soft jazz music began to play, and I barely noticed when Drake tossed
the remote to the stereo that was hidden somewhere in the penthouse.
His free hand went to my waist, and he lifted
our joined hands up until they rested over his heart. My heart beat erratically
as we started to sway to the music. In all the years we’d been together, the times we
had gone dancing were few and far between. It was one of my few pleasures that
I didn’t
indulge often. Getting to do so now, with my delicious husband’s arms around me as we
danced around the room with nothing but candles and moonlight streaming through
the windows, was something I would treasure for the rest of my life.
I felt his lips brush over my temple as he
hummed along with the song, making his chest vibrate and affecting me in the
most primal of ways as my panties became soaked with need for him. The music
shifted from one song to another, and everything inside of me melted when I
heard our song.
