Captivated: When Desire Whispers 2

By Eve Albright

HE HAS BECOME THE EMBODIMENT OF HER DREAMS, AND SHE HAS BECOME HIS SECRET FANTASY
IN THE FRIENDZONE IS WHERE THEY PLAY

Rachel rebounds from the assault at the garden while Sam does his own thing around campus. Although each person misses the other badly, neither one reaches out, afraid to find the other one has moved on too quickly.

But when they bump into each other at another party and things get steamy, there is no question about going on. Deciding to head back to Sam's place instead of risk getting walked in on, they head out, leaving their dates behind.

Things at Sam's place get hot and heavy. They like each other enough to admit wanting to remain doing what they're doing. Will Sam and Rachel continue to hit it off, though, intellectually, that is? They are both willing to find that out.

But what of Kurt Sully? Will the lurking menace rear his ugly head to inflict some kind of revenge?

Find out by reading on!

EXCERPT
Sam had grabbed Rachel by the shoulders to keep her from falling and lifted her back on her feet before he noticed who she was. Now that he stood holding the person who'd been on his mind for weeks at a time, his mind went blank and he got the classic deer in the headlights look on his face.

Sam held her like this for a second before releasing his grasp and letting his hands fall slowly to his sides.

“How have you been?” Sam asked.

“Good,” Rachel said. “I've been good. How have you been? You're here with—”

Sam took her gently by the hand, interrupting her, and quietly led her to a small adjacent room, closing the door gently behind him. It was dark for a few moments before Sam pulled a light cord hanging down from the ceiling, and light flooded through the room, revealing a washer and dryer to go along with the smell of detergent.

“How have you really been?” Sam asked. “I mean, are you doing okay? For real?”

“Yes, Sam,” Rachel said. “I'm really doing okay.”

Suddenly, the beat of rap stopped pulsating through the house and was replaced with slow dance music, a song neither of them had heard since high school prom.

They both looked at each other and dropped their pretenses.

Rachel took a step closer to Sam and put a hand on his chest. He circled her hips with his arms and they started to sway slowly with the music. Rachel leaned into Sam, snuggling her head into his chest.

“Oh, Sam... I've missed you,” Rachel said.

“I've missed you, too, Rachel,” Sam replied.

CHAPTER ONE

CHRYSTAL SEABELL HAD a rather restless night after her conversation with Travis. She still wasn’t sure that agreeing to let him try to change her mind was a good thing, especially when she remembered her reaction to Flynn Cavanaugh.

My God. Flynn Cavanaugh.

She doesn’t even know the man, yet she’s already felt so much more excitement and attraction with him than she’s ever felt with Travis! Or any other man for that matter.

As a result of all of her worrying, she had tossed and turned most of the night. By the time her alarm sounded the next morning, she was very tired and bleary eyed. If she hadn’t had such a full day ahead of her, she might have been sorely tempted to go into work later. But she had too much to do for lying about like that. She had a couple of hours before she was to meet Claire at the apartment she was going to show her.

Yep, she thought as she swung her feet to the floor. Better get up and get started.

A shower helped to wake her up a little and she figured coffee would do the rest. When she finally headed out to her car, Chrystal felt back to normal. It also helped that the snow was falling softly again. She stopped and looked up into the sky to let the snowflakes kiss her face before getting into her car and heading into Majestic Bay.

She arrived at the apartment complex a few minutes ahead of Claire, so she had a chance to get the key and unlock the apartment. It was good that she had some time to inspect it prior to Claire seeing it. After entering the apartment, she was thrilled to see that it was, indeed, a very nice place. If Claire agreed with that assessment, Chrystal would make sure that she could get it an affordable rent.

As she was coming back into the living room area, Claire appeared at the front door of the apartment and knocked.

Hello? she called.

Hey, Claire! Did you have any trouble finding the place?

Actually, none at all. Your directions were very clear.

Great! So let’s give you the grand tour, shall we?

The apartment consisted of a rather spacious living area with a kitchen separated by a large bar/counter. While the kitchen was a bit small, it was definitely functional and upgraded. There were 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms off of a hallway that led from the main living area. It had its own walled-in private patio and garden so that Maddie would be able to play outside in a safe area. It was a basic apartment, but it was clean, spacious and carried a lot of potential for decorating to make it quite pretty.

Claire seemed to be amazed at the place, though.

I’m almost afraid to ask this now that I’ve fallen in with this place, she said. But what’s the rent?

Well, that’s the great news, Chrystal replied. It is income based so it will be whatever you can afford to make with your income. The best thing is that everything is included. Your power, water, trash pickup, basic cable and internet are all included with your rent payment. So it’s a lot easier to budget it when you only have to figure out food and transportation costs.

Then she told Claire what the monthly cost was and Claire’s mouth dropped open in shock.

Oh my god! she cried. I can totally afford that!

That’s the point, Chrystal laughed. So, do you think that this will work for you and Maddie?

Oh, it will definitely work for us! I can’t thank you enough, Chrystal, for everything you’ve done for us! This is just too perfect! When can we move in?

Chrystal laughed again.

Seriously, Claire, you and Maddie deserve this and you qualify for this assistance. It’s nothing that I’ve done. And you can move in at the first of January if you like.

Claire threw her arms around Chrystal and hugged her tightly saying thank you over and over again. Chrystal hugged her back, laughing
