Title: Desperate
Author: A.K. Evans
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Ekko Rose is no stranger to struggle. Even though she’s experienced more than her fair share of hardship, she has dreams she wants to fulfill. But when another stroke of bad luck leaves her homeless, Ekko's only option is to focus on survival. Dominick ‘Dom’ Moore has had his eyes on Ekko ever since he saved her life several months ago. He kept his distance then because she was attached to another man. Now, seeing her living out of her car, Dom resolves to help her get back on her feet. When Dom approaches Ekko, she wrestles with knowing her rightful place in the world and desperately wanting to latch onto something better. Just as the pair fall hard for one another, Ekko’s streak of misfortune delivers one more blow. With their relationship thrown into a pit of despair and hopeless desire, Dom must crack the case he’s been trying to solve for weeks. Because if he can’t, Ekko might be lost to him forever.
“Hello?”
I answered, out of breath.
“Are
you okay?” Dom asked.
“Sorry.
As small as my apartment is, I still feel like I just ran a marathon
to get from my living room to my bedroom just to get my phone.”
He
let out a laugh and confirmed, “So you’re home?”
“Yes.”
“Any
chance you want to put in a little more physical effort and open your
door?”
He
was here?
“Are
you here?”
“I
guess you’ll have to open your door to find out,” he teased.
I
hurried out of the bedroom to the front door and fumbled over my own
hands trying to get the lock open. I was so excited to see Dom.
Once
I managed to get it unlocked, I swung the door open and felt a rush
of air leave my lungs.
Seeing
him for the first time in a week left me feeling nothing short of
relief.
Apparently,
Dom was feeling something similar because he didn’t wait for me to
invite him inside. He stepped in, slammed the door shut behind
himself, and slipped an arm around my waist as he bent his head to
bury his face in my neck. I pushed up on my toes, wrapped my arms
around him, and squeezed.
“Missed
you, Ekko,” he breathed.
He
missed me. It felt so good to hear him say those words.
“I’ve
missed you, too.”
When
he pulled back, he lifted one arm and I noticed he had carried a bag
in with him. “I brought dinner if you care to join me.”
Giving
him a huge grin, I said, “I’d love to join you.”
We
walked into the living room, where Dom set out the food. He had
gotten pad thai, one chicken, one shrimp. “I’ll eat whichever
you don’t want.”
I
didn’t know which I wanted and Dom noticed because he interrupted
my thoughts and suggested, “We can also switch halfway through if
you’d like.”
“You
know just what to say to satisfy a woman, don’t you?” I blurted
before I had the chance to realize what I had insinuated.
Dom
just shook his head as he looked down at the ground, the smile
tugging at his lips.
I
dropped my gaze to the ground, quickly fell to my bottom, and sat on
the sofa. Dom lowered himself to the seat right next to me, leaned
close, and spoke gently, “One day soon, I’d love to satisfy you
without needing to say anything at all.”
My
head snapped toward him. His face was inches from mine. The heat
spreading through my body matched the desire in his dark eyes.
I
stared at him in stunned silence. Confident as ever, Dom leaned in
and pressed a soft kiss to my cheek. “Breathe, sugar,” he
prompted me.
