When you Prevail Sneak Peek!
What am I currently working on and willing to share with you? Check it out!⬇️
This week's sneak peek is from When You Prevail, which I am soon to start doing self-edits on! I'm a little nervous to edit this one, honestly, it was a doozy to write, it's longer than some of the others in the series, and it took a LOT longer and a LOT more work to get to the romance. Annalise is a fighter, ya'll, so get ready because she is giving Ashton a serious run for his money.😅
Tossing my purse onto the couch, I rip off my shirt, kicking my shoes off before tossing my jeans down with my other things. I head into the kitchen to the left of the living room, pulling out the bread, meat, cheese, mayo, and a butter knife. Pulling out two slices of bread, I lay them out on a paper towel and open the mayo, dipping in the knife and smearing it across one slice.
A door opens and quietly clicks shut, catching my attention. I turn to see a red-headed man come out with his pants on but undone, shoes and a shirt in his hands. He sets the shoes down, pulling his shirt over his head, and as his head pops through, he pauses. His arms are still above his head, his torso on display, as he stares at me with wide eyes.
“Uh, I didn’t realize anyone else was here….” His words trail off as he slowly pulls his shirt down over himself, buttoning his pants.
My hand squeezes around the butter knife I’m holding up before I relax, scoffing and turning back to my task. “Another one to add to the list, I guess. She’s really getting around,” I mutter under my breath, stabbing the knife back into the mayo and spreading it onto the other slice of bread.
“I’m sorry?” He takes a step into the kitchen, leaning against the counter near me.
“Nothing. It’s fine, I mean, I’m used to men sneaking out of Mickayla’s room in the wee hours of morning. She’s not the settle down type of girl.” I side-eye him, shrugging. I rip open the meat container and start laying some on my bread before layering with cheese.
“You girls close?” He crosses his arms over his chest, making his biceps bulge slightly. He’s not a bad looking guy. Not that any of the guys Mickayla brings home are bad looking, but most are not my type. As in, they’re only interested in a one-night stand and nothing more, which is something I rarely do.
“You could say that. She’s my roommate, and we don’t do sloppy seconds, so don’t get any ideas, bucko. I’m off limits. Now, you can get back to your sneaking out.” I grab my sandwich off the counter and shove it into my mouth unattractively, taking a massive bite. He grunts, and I cock an eyebrow, looking at the mess I’ve left on the counter. “Help yourself if you’re hungry, but you clean up.”
I spin and walk into the living room, grabbing my clothes and bag and marching into my room, kicking the door shut behind me.
Now, let me end this by saying that she tortures him after this with some very loud noises through the door, which, of course, he hears. A relationship starting off like this, you know it's going to be interesting, right? The next time they see each other, it's under very stressful circumstances, only making their relationship that much more strained.
Who do you think falls first??
