Daxton Pov from the end of Walk of Shame
I can feel her staring at me. Big
blue eyes leering directly at me and I’m struggling not to open mine and take
in her beautiful self. It’s like my body is already attuned to hers. I can tell
that she is awake and I have no fucking clue how that is even possible after
the amount of alcohol she had last night. My ego is definitely bruised at the
moment; I thought I wore her out? My arms are practically twitching at the
sides, wanting to grab her and pull her to my chest, but I don’t. I want to see
what she’s planning on doing first. I know that some chicks like to get up and
redo their hair and makeup and then crawl back into bed like they woke up
looking like Miss America pageant contestants. But fuck, who am I to judge?
I felt the bed dip and heard the tiny
sound of her footsteps leave the room. My brain began to riot, but I didn't move.
I let her leave, just like that. Maybe she was just going to get a glass of
water or maybe even some aspirin? Hell she has to have a killer headache. I’m
an ass; I should have left some on the bedside table. I lay there for a couple
more minutes, before deciding to get up and check on her. She may be getting
sick again or something.
I
finally decide to climb my happy ass out of bed and grab my dislodged pants off
the ground. I notice that her work clothes are still lying in a heap on the
floor where I laid them, so that’s a good sign. I made sure to put some sweat
pants and one of my band shirts on her before I put her into bed. I didn't want
her to feel too awkward when she woke up. We were both pretty drunk last night
and as many one night stands as I've had in the past, this is one
that I don't regret. I really like this girl. We have instantaneous
chemistry and I definitely want to see where it could go. With the exception of
my music and working with the kids, nothing or no one else has been able to
make me feel more alive. I shake the visions of last night and her lying
gloriously naked underneath me out of my head and decide to go in search of
her. I need to drag her cute ass back to bed, caveman style. Got damn the girl
is sexy, but there is just so much more and I need to get to know her better
and figure it all out. I have never felt such a strong compulsion to work
anyone out of my system like I do this chick.
I slide my jeans over my naked lower
half and rub the sleep out of my eyes. I tread into the living room and my eyes
instantly fall on the spot where her things once were. She really left. I can’t
even believe this. I go back and check the bathroom just in case, but no, she’s
gone. I walk towards the front door and throw it open. The daylight hits me
achingly hard in the face. I quickly throw up my arms to shield that horrific
light from my now burning eyes. Holy shit, I had one too many last night.
Remind me not to do that again for a while. I become such a reckless asshole
when I drink and I don’t want to start heading back down that pathway. I left
most of my fucked up shit behind me or so I’d like to think.
When my
eyes finally adjust, I see her standing at the end of the driveway. Wild hair
looking straight lioness style and still rocking the sweats and t-shirt combo
that I had placed her in. she looks so damn good in my clothes. Seeing her
looking like she’d just been fucked seven ways to Sunday has my heart racing
off its normal beaten course. When she climbs into that cab that had pulled up
without me even really noticing, my eyes were pretty directly fixed on her ass,
I shout for her to wait. She either didn't hear me
or didn't care. Either way, she took off and I was left in my doorway
with a hard on and no relief or morning snuggles. Yes, I just said snuggles.
I’m suddenly becoming a pansy. She’s messing with my head already and it
surprisingly feels damn good. Feeling something for a woman that isn't pure
hatred and regret is a welcome feeling in my book. I am going to get this girl
whether she realizes it yet or not. Consider it done; I always get what I want.
“And to think, I was even going to make you breakfast, how rude.” I say out
loud to nobody in particular as I was all alone again. My shit eating grin has returned.
This is going to be one hell of a ride.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Daxton James holds the world in the
palm of his hands. He has finally met the love of his life and is more than
ready to start a family with her and her precious daughter, Abby. He has the
best friends that anyone could ask for, a career doing two things he loves the
most-music and helping people and his family piecing themselves back together,
slowly but surely. Everything has fallen into place in his life and he couldn't
be more happy about it.
There is only one problem---He
can’t remember any of it.
Daxton was involved in a serious
accident which has left him fighting for his life, while his loved ones wait in
the midst, unsure if he is even going to come out of it alive. Thankfully he
does, but his short term memory can’t say the same. He only remembers the Daxton
he had been years previous. The playboy, the rock star and hopelessly devoted
to a woman that is not Avalynn Wright.
The doctors tell Avalynn to just
let his memory come back on it’s own and to not push him too much, fearful that
forcing his memory will cause permanent scarring and trauma. Avalynn is so
thankful to have Daxton alive, that if letting him go will keep him happy and
healthy, she will do just that, even if it means killing off herself; bit by
bit. Avalynn struggles to get a grasp on what is a reality and what is created
by the stresses of her life which causes her to downward spiral, with nobody
there to break her fall.
Will Avalynn and Daxton make it
through this or is their relationship built only as strong as a House of Cards,
ready to crumble at any moment?
