When you lose the one person who grounds your existence, your whole world changes.
In life, it is said that everything happens for a reason. If that’s true, how can you explain death? Especially when it happens to someone so young, so beautiful, and so innocent? My name is Bain Adams, and I struggle with these thoughts every day. I’ve been through hell and back, somehow surviving the unimaginable. My sister took her life six months ago, and now, what’s left is a shell of the man I once was, a shadow of the person I used to be. Do I miss that life? Absolutely. But I miss her more, every day. I pray time will ease the pain and help my suffering while I search for the answers…but so far, nothing.
Happiness is something I knew so long ago, and now it’s nothing but a faint, distant recollection of the life I once had. My name is Arion LaSalle, and seven months ago my life was shredded to pieces when my fiancé disappeared while deployed. He never came home, burning a hindrance of pain and agony within my soul. For so long, I lived my life believing everything happens for a reason, until now. ‘Cause none of it makes any sense. Why Nate? Why only him? Since getting through each breath is a struggle, I put on a fake persona, pretending I’m someone I’m not, living my life recklessly. Because for me, it was all taken far too soon.
“So are you really going to eye fuck me all night
without introducing yourself?”
What
the fuck? I swallow hard, her words catching me off guard. “Uhh, I’m
Bain.”
Those are the only words that come out; my heart is pounding. She laughs at me
and I turn to her and ask, “What’s so funny?”
“You. That’s all you’re going to say? Uhh, I’m Bain?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay,” she responds is a quieter tone, understanding that I’m serious. “Well,
Bain, I’m Arion. I just thought with the way you’ve been staring at me all
night, you’d have more to say.”
Fuck, she’s quick with words. Unfortunately for me, I’m at a great
disadvantage; the bars mixed with the alcohol have made my mind fuzzy. I can’t
keep up with her, not like this. I need to be sober. “Was I that obvious?” I
finally ask.
“Yeah.”
She flicks her cigarette into the parking lot and stares at me. Pulling my eyes
from the ground, I meet hers. She’s gorgeous, she’s really something else, I
tell yah. Especially her eyes, gray and…laced with hurt, just like mine. She
acts tough, but she’s hiding something. “Listen, Bain, I don’t know what’s
wrong with you.”
“Nothing’s wrong,” I retort. “I’m…I’m just…drunk.”
“Me too,” she responds running her hands down my chest and pushing me harder
into the wall. Our eyes never leave one another’s. My breathing increases and I
focus on staying calm while feeling what she is doing to me with her hands. It
doesn’t take but a few seconds ‘til she slides them under my shirt. I may not
have words when it comes to her, but my lips don’t let me down. Staring into
her eyes, she looks at me with uncertainty. I attempt to ease that, with a
kiss.
Her lips are plump and tender. She tastes of mint with a hint of Jäger.
The moment she touches her tongue with mine, my senses flip and that need
that’s been knocking to escape all night erupts.
A couple exits the bar and we separate for a brief moment. Then I pull her down
the side of the building. The moment we are tucked nicely into the dark alley,
we pick right back up. This is seedy as fuck.
It’s a crisp night, but being with her in the cold doesn’t bother me. Her hands
are warm as they explore every part of my body. But being a man, I want more.
“Keep touching me,” I command, wanting to feel her warm hands on my cock.
Holding her face, I continue to kiss her, loving the release I get while
indulging in her.
“Mmmmm, you do speak.”
Growling, I flip her around, now pressing her against the wall. “I do. Fuck,
Arion…” I trail off, unsure of what to say next.
She makes quick work of the button and zipper of my pants and wastes no time
going in, clenching me hard, just like I wanted. “Mmmmmhhhhh,” I groan as she
begins to stroke me.
“Your cock is big and I want it deep in my throat.” She drops to her knees and
I lean my hands against the wall, questioning what we are doing for half a
second. There is no one around us and no one in sight – fuck it. Her tongue
hits me swirling over the end; I brush her hair out of her face and watch as
she engulfs me. From tip to base, she takes me all the way. When I don’t think
she can go any further, she does, and her nose touches my skin. It takes real
skill to take all of me. She stares up working my cock in and out of those
sweet, plump lips. We watch one another, and I wonder who in the world she is.
So confident, sexy, and…dominant. Christ, it’s such a fucking turn-on.
Each pull and push she matches with her hand, twirling her tongue as she goes.
I especially like watching her mouth stretch. Stopping for a moment, she
removes her lips but jerks my shaft, quickly. “Will you come in my mouth,
Bain?”
“Suck me hard and I will.”
I nod my head when she obeys and feel my balls tighten. Fuck, it’s been too
long. Looking at her as she takes my release, her eyes are closed and she’s in
a zone, enjoying this. As she pushes me to orgasm, her mouth is so warm. Her
movements are perfect and I come so hard in the back of her throat, pumping my
hips and thrusting out every last drop of cum. To my surprise, she swallows,
smirking at me the moment she finally takes my cock out of her mouth. Standing,
she licks her lips. I’m panting, trying to catch my breath as she says, “It was
a pleasure to meet you, Bain,” and walks away.
I’ve been with LK Collins since her first book Determinism came out. I’ve read and
loved her entire Life. Destiny. Fate
series. So, I’ve seen her writing grow and I’ve come to love her books even
more. Every Soul definitely threw me
for a loop. I didn’t know what to expect. To be honest, I didn’t even look at
the synopsis before reading it. All I knew was that LK wrote it, therefore I
had to read it.
“Bain, I’ve had a long time to reflect on all this, on us and what we have, and what it boils down to is you make me happier than anyone in this world. You make me smile and love my life and make me feel again. Something I haven’t known in in so long. And because of all that, I fucking love you. I love you.”
“I knew from the moment that I laid eyes on
you, I wanted you and I would take you any way I could have you. So I lied to
myself, just as much as I lied to you.”
Bain and Arion are a couple like nothing I’ve ever
seen. They’re both damaged. They both have lost someone they deeply loved. And
somehow they find each other and manage to help each other. At first, I was
worried that there would be insta-love going on. But, it wasn’t. Yes, they got
hot and heavy right away. But, they also quickly accepted that they were meant to
be more to each other. And before I knew it, I was in love with them just as
much as they were in love with one another.
“I hope my words helped to ease a bit of the
pain that Bain is experiencing. In the short period of time I’ve known him, I
know he’s someone special and someone that’s supposed to be in my life whatever
the reason may be.”
I don’t want to say much about the plot. It’s unique.
Right from page one, I could already tell that it was going to be an emotional
rollercoaster. And I was not wrong. The book deals with heavy topics, but it
also shows the power of love and having someone there to hold you when it feels
like your world is falling apart. The plot is layered with emotion and even a
bit of suspense and I was more than intrigued with the complexity of it. I have
to applaud the author for that.
“Dammit, I love her. She told me not to have
feelings for her and to just fuck, but I’ve failed miserably.
How could I not, with what we’ve been through
and helped each other cope with?”
Bain is sexy. There’s no other way to describe
him. He’s an LK hero to the tee. Alpha, hot, protective, fierce lover… I loved
the way he fully and quickly accepted his love for Arion. And god, are their
scenes hot! Erotica indeed. Prepare to have Bain melt your panties off. Arion has
been through a lot. She’s a little more hesitant to be more than friends with
Bain, but once you find out her backstory it’s hard to blame her. Now the only
thing is…the ending. It was supposed to be a standalone, dammit! All her other
books can be read as standalones! Instead we have a killer cliffy that leaves
you dying for the next book. You think Bain and Arion’s journey is done… Just
wait.
“Bain, I’ve had a long time to reflect on all this, on us and what we have, and what it boils down to is you make me happier than anyone in this world. You make me smile and love my life and make me feel again. Something I haven’t known in in so long. And because of all that, I fucking love you. I love you.”
“I love you too, baby. God, I love you.”
