RoomHate Excerpt
Copyright

My
heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest. Watching this whole thing
unfold had made me totally lose sense of reality. I felt like I’d been
experiencing every movement, every feeling right along with him, except I
wasn’t allowed to come. It was as if I’d seriously lost my mind in the process.
That was the only thing that could possibly explain why my body decided to
betray me, letting out an involuntary sigh….moan?
I wasn’t sure and couldn’t even tell you what it was except to say whatever
sound I made caused Justin to jump back. His head whipped toward me, and his
shocked eyes met mine for a brief second before I ran back down the stairs.
Humiliated.
Mortified.
My
heart felt like it was in my mouth. Escaping out the front door and down to the
water, I continued to run aimlessly on the sand. At one point, about a mile
down the beach, it became necessary to stop and catch my breath, even though I
wanted to keep running. I’d gotten so wrapped up in Justin that I’d forgotten
how sick I was this afternoon. It was all hitting me again as I stumbled over
to the shoreline and vomited into the ocean.
I
collapsed into the sand and must have sat there for over an hour. The sun was
starting to go down, and the tide was coming in. It felt like everything was
closing in on me. I knew I couldn’t avoid going home forever.
What
if he told Jade what I’d done?
That I
was watching him.
Oh God.
He was
going to crucify me for this.
What
excuse could I possibly give him that would explain why I was hiding behind his
door, watching him ejaculate like it was a Fourth of July fireworks
performance?
I
decided that I needed to get home before Jade did. Maybe I could convince him
not to say anything. Brushing the sand off my thighs, I made my way back over
to the house.
My
heart nearly stopped upon finding Justin standing in the kitchen, drinking out
of a half-gallon of orange juice. I stood silently behind him and watched as he
put the container back.
Justin
turned around and finally noticed me standing there. His hair was wet, making
it appear brown instead of blonde. He must have taken a shower to wash away the
awkwardness of our encounter. Looking painfully handsome in a brown distressed
t-shirt that fit his chest like a glove, he just stared me down.
Here it comes.
I
braced myself for his humiliating words. My heart was beating out of my chest
as he just continued to look at me blankly without saying anything. He slowly
walked toward me, and all of the muscles in my body tightened. He was going to
get in my face and do it.
Shit.

Blurb
From New York Times Bestselling Author,
Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
Sharing a summer
house with a hot-as-hell roommate should be a dream come true, right?
Not when it’s
Justin…the only person I’d ever loved…who now hates me.
When my grandmother
died and left me half of the house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the
other half would go to the boy she helped raise.
The same boy who
turned into the teenager whose heart I broke years ago.
The same teenager
who’s now a man with a hard body and a hardass personality to match.
I hadn’t seen him in
years, and now we’re living together because neither one of us is willing to
give up the house.
The worst part? He
didn’t come alone.
I’d
soon realize there’s a thin line between love and hate. I could see through
that smug smile. Beneath it all…the boy is still there. So is our connection.
The problem is…now
that I can’t have Justin, I’ve never wanted him more.
Author's note – RoomHate is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong
language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the
age of 18.
