    hen Ill bet Im better at this, I say as I slide my fingers into his

    hair, then rain all the kisses I can on his face. Te groan of male

    arousal I hear causes a shudder of excitement to run through me

    and I add my tongue, rasping it over the stubble of his jaw, loving

    the part-laugh, part-moan that follows.

    You are good, he teases huskily, his eyes sparkling as he

    takes my hair in one fist and tilts my head to take over my mouth.

    So fucking good I need to be inside you now, Brooke. Rightnow.

    Hes never sounded so determined, and suddenly Ive never

    felt so needy, so I grab the base of his cock and ease down on its

    length.

    He clamps his jaw with an expression of excruciating plea-

    sure. God, yes, he says, his fingers curling on my hips as he

    guides me lowerinch by inch. Im impaled with him.

    Hot. Tick. Hard. Hes in me, and oh, god, he feels so good,

    and its been so long, I bite my lip as I savor Remy in me. He cups

    my face, stroking his thumbs over my cheekbones as he watches

    5/17

    me take him, slowly to adjust, to feel every, single, delicious inch

    of him entering me.

    Does that feel as good to you as it does to me? he asks inthat sex-thickened voice that drives me crazy.

    More . . . more than amazing . . . I gasp. Nothing can ever

    be this good . . . as you . . .

    I feel full, stretched almost beyond bearing, and still . . . I

    need more.Hes so big. Bigger than life. Bigger than anyone. And

    hes all I want and all I need and I need all of it.I rock to take more, forcing my sex walls to stretch, to be able

    to keep him, accept him, clutch and hug him. Weve completely

    stopped laughing by now, and when he sinks fully inside me, I

    gasp, and his head falls forward on mine and he groans a long,

    low sound.

    Oh, Remy. I lift myself back up, and then he grabs my waist

    and pulls me down, and we start moving slowly, my body lifting,

    his arms quickly lowering me . . .

    Our bodies rule now, our heartbeats, our breaths, our mus-

    cles, all working for release, his and mine. Im breathless and my

    body temperature keeps hitching as I eagerly anticipate that mo-

    ment when I will feel him explode in me and leave me all sticky

    and delicious the way I like.Brooke . . . Remington starts licking me everywhere he can.

    My nipples, my shoulder, my collarbone, up my neck, his fingers

    digging into my skin as I rise faster and he lowers me even faster

    and harder. He lifts his head and keeps his eyes on mine as he

    watches me bounce on him.

    God, youre so fucking beautiful. . . .

    My sex swells even more when he watches the way my breasts

    move, the way my sex opens to take him. His eyes flashing propri-

    etarily, he takes my lips with his, and our mouths slant and take,

  • 7/25/2019 Exclusive Extended Ending of REAL by Katy Evans

    6/17

    slant and taste. Ten we lose it all. We cant savor anymore, we

    need more.He slams me down and rocks his hips powerfully up at

    the same time, his muscles clenching, his thighs underneath me,his abs against mine, his biceps around me.

    Hes so incredibly strong, but hes fucking me like hes never

    fucked anything in his lifewith control, yet also with utter des-

    peration. Pleasure shoots across my body as he starts plowing me,

    his face a mask of fierce need.

    Feed me one of your nipples, he says in a thick, texturedwhisper.

    I lean over and cup my breast, placing my nipple in his open

    mouth and he closes greedily around the tip as he keeps lifting

    and lowering me. As he starts suckling, I feel the hot suctions of

    his mouth ripple in delicious waves through me.

    Oh god, Remy, I say, curling my arms around the back of

    his head and locking his head to me. Harder. Harder, please.

    Im dying, pressing my breast deeper into his marvelous

    mouth.

    He growls and bites me, releasing me and biting me, sucking

    and biting me, and exquisite pleasure bolts through me until Im

    in agony with every drag of his length inside me, every raw, ani-

    mal tug of his mouth on my breasts.More, Brooke, he demands, and I give him my other, ne-

    glected breast, the nipple already poking into the air in a needy

    plea. His tongue strokes it and the taut tension in my body keeps

    on building. He keeps biting and sucking me, fucking and lifting

    me, and I hear usin the roomthe way we make love. Te

    way we mate. Were raw and were noisy. I want to sink down and

    keep him forever in me, but I also crave the way he fills me and

    then slips out, making me weep and throb for him to reenter and

    stretch me around his base.

  • 7/25/2019 Exclusive Extended Ending of REAL by Katy Evans

    7/17

    Remington! I cry as the intense pleasure builds, and builds,

    and builds.

    He rolls me over to my back before I can reach it, and pullsout. And Im there, shivering, suspended in the pinnacle of plea-

    sure. Gasping for air, I look at him, panting, burning, his chest

    heaving as he holds himself up on his arms over me.

    He likes prolonging this. I close my eyes and try to get con-

    trol, shuddering as I fight for it. His lips once again tug on my

    nipples then trail along my abdomen. Up my neck. He smellsme. astes me. Relishes me. Experiences me. I grab his hair and

    lick his jaw, into his mouth, caressing all his skin and undulating

    beneath his hot, hard body. Savoring him back. Hes my obsession

    and my addiction, the only place I feel both safe and exhilarated.

    ell me you love me, I beg.

    He slides one hand down my abdomen, circling my belly but-

    ton, then caressing my sex lips, until finally sticking his middle

    finger inside me. Remy, I moan, rocking my hips and thrashing.

    I like it so much, say it.

    He takes my mouth, then he grabs my hips, filling me com-

    pletely and whispering, I love you . . . Hes watching me with

    those blue eyes, building up an orgasm as he cups my breasts in

    his hands, then he bends to lick and lave each of the tips.I thrash beneath him.

    He takes my mouth with his, his kiss ravenous. I love you,

    he rasps again, moving in me so deep I can feel him in my heart.

    His face moves to my ear. I want to move in here and fucking

    live in you. He kisses my forehead, my nose, and my lips. Say

    my name when you come.

    I come with his nameRemingtand he takes it with his

    mouth, climaxing, hot and powerful, inside me. My arms go

    lax around him when the waves settle down, and then we lie

    there, smiling at each other like dopes, before he grabs me and

  • 7/25/2019 Exclusive Extended Ending of REAL by Katy Evans

    8/17

    adjusts me and my blue-eyed lion takes over and does all his

    sexy stuff.

    t open the next morning.

    Te first thought that pops into my head is that I dreamed it

    all. Tat I dreamed the music we played to each other in the dark.

    Tat I dreamed the hour-long kisses we gave each other, feelingthat sexy-devils mouth fuse with mine and take my breath, my

    thoughts, and meuntil all my world becomes that hungry. Wet.

    Sexy-devils mouth.

    I dreamed we made love three times.

    Te first time, it was tender and then a little desperate. Te

    second, exploratory. Savoring each other again. esting the ter-

    ritory, maybe? Is his nipple still the same shade of lovely brown,

    with the hard little point I like to rub my fingers over? Does he

    still like it when I graze my teeth over his lower lip and gently

    bite him? And him? He left no part uncovered the second time.

    His hands running down my curves, his exploring mouth rub-

    bing, suctioning, tasting. Even the sounds we made; we seemed

    to memorize it all. We laughed a little and played a little, nippingas we kissed, amused as we teased each other.

    Sing to me again, he teased in my ear, as he moved in me.

    You just insulted my vocal chords, I will never be able to sing

    to you again, I said breathlessly, and my words turned to a moan

    when he held one arm around me and splayed me beneath him.

    He pinned up my arms. Come one, he insisted, and then

    came those dimples. Can anyone deny those dimples?

    Youre . . . so . . . beautiful . . . I gasped. But thats not why

    I love you . . .

    His groan cut me off, and then we stopped laughing and it

  • 7/25/2019 Exclusive Extended Ending of REAL by Katy Evans

    9/17

    became serious. It became desperate. Te thought that I could

    still be alone, in my apartment, and he could be apart from me,

    sinks into us both as we start fucking for real. We didnt laugh aswe kissed anymore. He claimed my lips, his mouth demanding

    and commanding, his thrusts harder, leaving no doubt about him

    taking me.

    And the third time, I cried. It was raw. He bit me, licked me,

    told me youre mine and I bit back, felt him, hot and hard and

    pulsing inside me, and I cried and cried until he made me come.I didnt cry because it was amazingwhen his body is in mine

    and Im taken by his, it is amazing. But no. I cried because I still

    cant believe that I, who thought of myself as strong, confident,

    levelheaded, could have even thought for a moment it was a good

    idea to give up on him. He held me as I cried softly. And kissed

    my tears. And told me to forget about that. o love him like he

    loves me, and thats that.

    Can it be so simple?

    Now, I wake up in this hotel room. Our hotel rooms are al-

    ways so clean and nice and new. Te lines of the furniture are

    modern, the bed sheets softer than the ones I have in my home.

    But the best part of the room is always Remy.

    My eyes blur and my heart does crazy jumping motions in mychest when I shift my gaze and see him there, sprawled, facedown

    on the bed, with one arm slung out as if reaching out for me.

    We didnt close the drapes, so every inch of sunlight steals

    into the room and bathes his golden skin.

    Even at rest, his muscles are hard, perfectly defined. I run my

    eyes up his tight, muscled legs, to the curve of his buttocks, the

    dip of his spine, up the broad, deep, muscled back, to his arms.

    And that arm, with the Celtic tattoo on his bicep, stretched out

    for me. How many nights has he slept with that arm reaching out

    to nothing on the other side of the bed? Just like I have?

  • 7/25/2019 Exclusive Extended Ending of REAL by Katy Evans

    10/17

    Te thought swamps me with regret. So much regret. How

    could I have . . . misunderstand him like I did? When all he

    wanted was for me to knowhim?I wanted to be the only one who did, and in the end, he must

    have been so disappointed to think I wound up knowing nothing

    about him. Not even about the way he felt about me.

    For a moment, my lungs cant even expand; it hurts to think

    about it.

    Im so fucking in love with you I dont even know what to do withmyself anymore. . . .

    Closing my eyes, I hear the words and wrap them in my heart.

    Ten I look at him on the bed.

    His breathing is slow and deep, and he seems to be resting.

    I wonder if hes even rested all this time without me. I feel like I

    havent slept in years. Was he black the whole time? How did he

    pull through and cope?

    Oh god, Im so fucking in love too, I dont know what to do

    with myself either. Ive never loved like this before.

    Feeling my chest swell, I reach out my arm and touch the

    back of one of his fingers. I slide my fingertip over the rise of his,

    then up one scarred knuckle, and up his wrist, slowly delineating

    his forearm.Hmmm. He turns his head so that he faces me, and my

    heart gives a little skip.

    His eyes are still shut, his lips curled only briefly so that I

    dont get to see but the slightest hint of one dimple. His hair is a

    messand I love that mess. I smile to myself at the hmmm. . .

    and lean over to his ear as I slide my fingers up his whole arm and

    to his shoulder.

    You want to eat me? I whisper.

    He says, Hmmmm, and rolls to his back, hauling me with

    him when his eyes open.

  • 7/25/2019 Exclusive Extended Ending of REAL by Katy Evans

    11/17

    Shudders of emotion run through me when those blue eyes

    hold my gaze, and I hold that blue-eyed gaze back, breathless

    when he lifts his arm and reaches out to trace the back of onefinger down my jaw. Here you are, he says.

    He surveys me. Does he think he dreamed me too?

    Because Im so overcome I feel like I haveto be dreaming. I

    hardly deserve him coming back to me, much less his love. Much

    less being looked at . . . the way he looks at me now.

    So I am, I whisper, shifting so Im splayed deliciously overhim. What time do we leave today?

    Easing to a sit and propping himself up against two pillows,

    he crosses his arms behind his head in a way that makes his biceps

    bulge and form perfect rocks next to those Celtic tattoos. We

    werent.

    What?

    We werent leaving until I knew for sure you were coming

    with us.

    One of my eyebrows flies up at this interesting confession. I

    like it. I like it very very much. Well then. Now that Im here,

    youre stuck with me. Youre sostuck, mister. Smack, I softly hear

    as I kiss one dimple. You have to take me with you now. Smack,

    I hear as I kiss the other, to be fair.Where is it you want me to take you?

    Away from here. o where you are. o kick Scorpion ass.

    o run. o bed. o heaven. o watch you fight. I look at him,

    and hes looking all lazy, his arms behind his head, all lion-like,

    king-of-the-jungle-like. Im Brooke, I tell him. You asked for

    my name once. Im Brooke Dumas and instead of giving you my

    number, Ill just give you my heart.

    He cocks a brow and when he laughsa rich, beautiful

    sound, and Ive missed him so muchI get a little sting in my

    eyes.

  • 7/25/2019 Exclusive Extended Ending of REAL by Katy Evans

    12/17

    He reaches out and drags me to him. Brooke Dumas, he

    murmurs, cupping my jaw, his eyes sparkling as looks deep into

    my eyes. Im Remington.I smile tearfully with love, and he ducks his head and whis-

    pers in my ear, Instead of bringing you back to my hotel . . . Im

    going to hire you, seduce you, claim you, and then, Im never

    going to let you go. He eases back to stare at me and spots my

    tear, and wipes it away. What part of it dont you like? he asks

    me softly.Id never noticed the way he looked at me with love, but

    theres so much love in his eyes this morning, I feel inundated

    with emotion and it clogs my throat as I try to talk.

    Te part where I was stupid and ran away.

    No more, my little sprinter. No more running for you. I

    laugh when he scoops me up out of the bed.

    Where are we going?

    Everywhere you wanted to go, including the kitchen.

    But Im naked . . .

    So am I.

    But Diane . . .

    I bolted the door in the middle of the night.

    Youre chatty now, arent you? I can tell you think youre theshit cause I came back to grovel, I tease, poking a dimple as he

    carries me.

    He says nothing but keeps flashing those dimples as he sets

    me down in the kitchen and walks to the fridge. Naked. And Im

    standing there, watching him pull out a gallon of milk, the fridge

    lights silhouetting every muscle.

    I groan and cover my face. Remington, youll be the death

    of me.

    And you of me. He pulls out fruit and whipped cream. Im

    hungry.

  • 7/25/2019 Exclusive Extended Ending of REAL by Katy Evans

    13/17

    He props me up on the granite counter, next to the sink, and

    lifts a strawberry to my lips. I bite the tip, then he shoves the rest

    into his mouth and tosses the stem aside.Hmm, I say. I love strawberries.

    Hmmm, he says, and by the twinkle in his eyes, I think he

    means something else. Its confirmed when he spreads whipped

    cream on one breast. I gasp, then he laps it off me, and my brain

    has packed its bags and left me as he does the same to the other

    breast.Youre not going to have breakfast on me, are you? I ask,

    laughing, actually hoping that he will.

    You are breakfast, the rest is a side dish.

    Ohmigod.

    Soon Im all full of yummy stuff and . . . hes feeding me, and

    Im feeding him . . . and were feeding on each other. . . .

    Seriously, hes so fucking sexy I cant stand it.

    e

    Remington

    still sometimes cant believe Brooke loves me.

    I get crazy when she talks to Pete and Riley, and sometimes I

    cant sleep for fear of waking up and finding shes not next to me.

    I start getting jealous and fear Im going to lose my shit, but when

    she touches me, I find anchor.

    I fight for her tonight, and I want her eyes only on me. I want

    her hands on me later. And the way she tells me she loves me. She

    shows it too, but I have never in my life heard it before. She putslove songs to me, and I cling to the lyrics like she wrote them for

    me. Sometimes I have trouble putting to words how I feel. Some-

    times I feel a thousand things at once and cant find a single word

    to tell her what I want to say. Tats why I look for songs, and as

    soon as it hits a chord in me, I cant wait to play it to her. I played

    Iris for her because I wanted her to know that Id do all kinds

    of crazy shit just to be with her, and more than that, I wanted her

    to know me.

    She does.

    She may know parts of me even I dont.

  • 7/25/2019 Exclusive Extended Ending of REAL by Katy Evans

    15/17

    Every time I wake up, I check her out. Did I hurt you? I ask.

    Sometimes I remember when Im black, but other times I

    dont. All my life falls apart when Im black.Im afraid to hurt her.

    Im afraid shes gonna go again.

    But then she tells me she promises to let me know the shit I

    did or said, and that appeases me. Honestly, I dont think I have

    it in me to hurt her. Its grounded in me to protect her, even from

    myself. I think even black Remington would kill himself beforehe hurts her.

    But I still dream I wake up and hear that I did something

    stupid and shes gone.

    She tells me every night Im her real.

    Shes my real. Shes my only.

    But I want it on paper.

    I want to win this year, and when I do, Im going to ask her

    for it.

    Because shes mine.

    onight, I hear the crowd as I come up to the ring, and I

    suck their energy into me, let it feed me, but Im already turning

    to stop at the point where shes sitting. Every detail of what she

    is wearing tonight is in my head. I see a face that has eyes so goldand I feel richer than a country. Her cheeks rosy. Her smile wide.

    And the sight of her hits me like adrenaline.

    A rise in dopamine.

    estosterone.

    Endorphins.

    Im jacked with it. She jacks me with it, and I smile and

    point at her, as I plan to do from now on so she knows, Tis

    ones for you.

    Its all.

    For you.

    Brooke Dumas.

    She blows me a kiss and I catch it in my palm.

    Crowd loves it like I love her.And then I put it in my mouth, and they roar.

    And I point at her, laughing, seeing the lights in her eyes, and

    I cant wait to be inside her, hear her sigh for me, come for me.

    Im high already. Te surge of adrenaline pumps through me.

    Im going to beat anything they put in my way just to show this

    female that Ime, Remington Fucking ateam the male shewants.

    Te one and only, Remington RIIIIIIIIIPIDE ate!

    I hear my name once more, and Im high with the crowd,

    high with her smile.

    High on her.
