Fallon’s on the run

be more than she can handle when she falls from one world into another, one

Garrison will stop at nothing to insure the success of The Amalie Project, even
if he must do the unthinkable and become just like Fallon.
Touch Vengeance.
Touch Malice. Touch Fire.
Excerpt
He was still waiting when I joined him again,
composed. He stood with his back against the wall, his hands lost deep into the
folds of his pockets. He was studying his shoes, his hair falling in thick
fringes over his eyes. Those blue eyes rose, crystalline pools of electricity,
and met mine, and my world stopped. My breath stopped. My heart would have
stopped if it wasn’t drumming a tempo of pure elation at the sight of him. It
ached, so desperate for the need to be closer. God, it was never close enough.
I could crawl into him, burrow into his soul and it wouldn’t be enough.
I took a step closer, as unsteady as a new born calf.
He caught my hand, reeled me to him without ever pushing away from the wall. I
was pulled into the space between his feet, held there as he bent my arm and
twisted it around my own waist. I was pressed into him, his thighs hard against
mine. I felt his heartbeat through the fingertips he traced over the curve of
my cheek.
“Stop touching me,” I gasped, cotton-mouthed,
half-crazed by the possibility that he might take me seriously.
“Why?” His breath fanned over my dry and already
parted lips.
I opened my eyes, surprised to find them closed.
“Because I won’t want you to stop.”
The band of steel around my waist tightened until I
was supported only by him, by his arm, his chest, his heat, his scent… God, I
was home! My fingers curled into the soft material of his fresh, clean shirt.
He must have changed, but it was yet another black t-shirt.
“I can’t.” His lips wrote each word against mine in
the caress of butterfly wings.
My bones liquefied. I nearly fainted.
“Why?” The single word was a mere movement of my lips.
His free hand shackled my chin, guided my face up,
held me prisoner to eyes much too animal to be human. “Because I don’t want to
stop.”
If there was ever any possibility of remembering to
breathe, it was gone. I was barely conscious, barely even sane as I sunk into
blissful madness cured only by his lips… his touch.
“Touch me!” My desperate plea was met with a fierce
growl.
His eyes, dark, feral, bore into mine. “Not here!”
I opened my mouth to protest, to beg, but his finger
against my lips became a barricade, trapping the words on my tongue.
“Don’t!” he hissed. His finger drew back, traced the
curve of my bottom lip. His eyes followed the slow caress the way a cat watches
a canary. “I can’t promise I’m completely in control right now.”

When asked, Airicka describes herself as a sarcastic basket case that has an unhealthy addiction to chocolate, old movies and really bad jokes. She loves to laugh, make friends and write.
