Learning to Live ~ R.D.Cole
Synopsis
Trudy Love is used to being on her own
and has rarely been shown affection. Between growing up in foster care and her
abusive boyfriend she has no idea what life can be. At 19 she goes through something
no one should ever experience and is left alone once again. Six months later
she moves to Mobile, Alabama where she meets someone whose eyes bring back
memories of the one person she misses every day. Too late she finds herself
caught in a storm of emotions that are unwanted, but she's determined to fight
them off.
Jaxon Coleman has a good life, and for
him to attend one of the finest med schools in the country and follow in his
dad's footsteps is a dream come true. However, dreams can change in life and
when he meets Trudy he knows his will never be the same. Jax knows she has
secrets she is unwilling to share, but he's never given up on something he
wants and he wants Tru.
Can Trudy stop resisting her feelings
and welcome the chance to live a different life than she pictured or will her
defiance and haunted past eventually take her out of Jax's reach?

BONUS
SCENE
Hotel
Room (Jax POV)
Seeing her tears kills me, but she claims she’s
happy and gives me the most glorious smile. She is so beautiful that my heart
is constantly tripping in my chest when she’s near me. I say a silent prayer of
thanks and feel my blood start to heat up. How did I get so lucky to meet her?
This tantalizing woman who is compassionate, funny, and so talented. And is
mine. She makes me so fucking happy and I just want to continue to make her
smile. Needing to touch her soft skin to reassure myself she’s real I walk over
and stand against her back. Her warmth seeps through my clothes sets me on
fire. Wrapping my arms around her tiny waist I nuzzle her neck and inhale her
intoxicating smell. I already feel myself start to strain against my slacks. .
“I’m glad because I’ve vowed to always make you happy the rest of your life.”
I feel her shaky breath against my chest and
know she has something on her mind. I know this is different for her so I wait
until she’s ready. After a few seconds
she speaks. “I love you, Jax. I want you to know that. It’s not easy for me to
say, but I do. What you saw tonight with Benji, I think it was his way of
letting go of the idea of him and me together.”
My ears and heart will never get tired of hearing her say those words. Knowing how difficult it is for her with her past full of disappointments, I squeeze her tighter never wanting to let go. “I love you too, Tru. I never thought I could feel so fucking much so soon, but I knew when I saw you that first day you were meant for me. So if there’s anything you need or want, please just ask. I want to make you happy and provide for you.” Turning her to face me I kiss her nose and can’t help but smack her firm ass trying to lighten the mood. “Now, I think we both need a bath.”
Leaving her to gather her things, I go and
start the water in the large Jacuzzi tub. I see the candles and roses are all
in place like I requested and can’t wait to see her reaction. Glancing over my
shoulder I see her bending over searching her bag. Instantly hard, I decide
just to forget clothes for the night and walk over to my girl. She squeals as I
throw her over my shoulder before I feel her pinch my ass while giggling. I
love that sound. “You think that’s funny? How’s this feel?” I smack her ass
again but harder this time and hear the resounding echo in the tile bathroom.
Placing her on her feet I back away and see her flushed cheeks and gorgeous
smile again. Some of her hair has come loose and falls around her face. The
laughter quickly leaves my body. I. Need. Her. Now.
Before I can walk her way to take what my body
so desperately craves, I watch in amazement as her whole demeanor changes. Her
eyes become heated and her shoulders straighten. Then she walks with pure sex
appeal over to stand in front of the full length mirror that’s against the wall
before she starts to undress. Holy Shit! My girl is about to dance for me.
About the Author
My name is Robin and I live in Alabama.
I grew up an army brat and traveled a lot until we finally settled down along
the Gulf Coast when I was 4. My husband is 9 years younger so I guess that
makes me a COUGAR. I have a little girl who is 9 and is blind as well as
autistic. My life is not boring with them two in it. Believe me.
I have always loved creating and I would constantly draw on my walls. I love painting and reading. Writing is something I wanted to do but didn't think I could, until I woke up at three a.m. a few months back and started writing. Life has a way of throwing rocks at you and putting cracks in your soul. Either you can duck and cover or you can make something beautiful from the cracks.
After that, the story took over. Even though some pieces of my life experience are within it, it is Tru and Jax’s story now. I have truly fell in love with this story and hope you all do too.
