Betrayal


Blue
“Don’t do this.” His eyes are big and desperate. Hurt creeps into his voice as he grips my hands. “You can’t.”
I don’t even struggle against the tears that runs down my face. “I can and I will. I thought…” I reclaim my hands and bury my face in them for a second. “Oh my god, how could I be so fucking stupid?” 
“You’re not! It’s not…”
“Just stop it!” I snap, anger blazing hot in the pit of my stomach. “You don't get to apologize, just so you can feel better. You screwed up, Graham. You! No one else. And this isn't going away.”
He looks so panicked, my stupid, shattered heart squeezes in sympathy. “Blue, please…” He trails of, probably because he knows me better than anyone in this entire world and he knows that he messed up. Nothing he says could ever make up for the pain he caused. “Blue”, he says again and I have to turn, have to leave, because his eyes are wet and I can't trust my treacherous heart not to break even more. 
I've barely taken a step before I'm whirled around and then I'm in his arms, his lips on mine, his hands buried in my thick curls. His desperate kiss makes my body respond when my brain won't. I clutch at his shirt, deepening the kiss, hearing his broken moan. Because this is home, this is what makes living in my head easier. Him. Us. It's right. Then I wrench away, stepping away from his embrace, breathing ragged. He lets me go instantly, knowing the battle is lost. He looks like he's had held the sun, only to get burned, longing to do it again. 
“I wanted to… I needed to feel you one last time. For what it's worth, I am sorry. There aren't even words to describe how I regret…” He cuts of, swallowing, eyes turned away like it’s painful to watch me. 

Graham
How will I ever forgive myself? With the memory of her eyes, so full of pain and betrayal, etched in to me, I will never get away from it. The feel of her body against mine, the taste of her lips lingers and I can't decide if the last desperate act to remember her was worth it. 
How can she stand right there, a few breaths apart from me, and I can't touch her? Can't stroke her hair, kiss her nose, laugh at her stupid jokes. Will never again have the right, the privilege, to feel her body curled up against mine, to have my heart swell up so with prideful, painful love, because she's mine, she chose me. The only feeling left in me is regret. Deep, despairing regret. The way she still responded to me, after everything, how her body automatically reacted to my touch, made it even worse. My pain is irrelevant to the way she feels right now. I'm the traitor, the bad guy. I don't deserve to focus on the regret. She is everything and I've lost her. The thought scares me more than anything in this world.

Steamy, sexy, romantic and sweet by Rachel Reid

Author: Rachel Reid Title:  Heated Rivalry Publisher: Carina Press Published: 2019 Genre: Contemporary/sports romance Links:  Amazon  /  Storytel  /  Goodreads Would you look at that, yet another book that has been read because I spend too much time on social media. This time @escape_in_a_book is the felon who made this book present in my tbr. She told us that this is one of the best M/M-romances she's ever read and the  best sports romance. I tend to agree. Not being majorly interested in sports, I don't usually go for it in romance, either. But it happens. This time, I'm glad it did. Heated Rivalry starts out with a hockey game from Shane's POV. It leads to defeat and then a sexual encounter with his biggest rival - Ilya Rozanov. Apparently, this is a thing they do and have done for seven years. Then we're taken back to their first encounter and it all goes down(hill) from there. This book was a pure delight. Being kind of sick of dram...

Sikta Högt av Heléne Holmström

Författare: Heléne Holmström Titel: Sikta Högt Förlag: Lovereads Genre: Romance Länkar:  Bokus  |  Adlibris  |  Goodreads Sikta högt är den fristående uppföljaren till Falla Fritt , en av mina storfavoriter inte bara förra året, utan överhuvudtaget. Det är alltid nervöst att ge sig in i samma värld, med glimtar av samma karaktärer, när det kommer en ny berättelse. Jag kan ju gärna överhajpa… Men här var det inget att vara nervös över. Holmström fångar in mig direkt med undran över vad en maffiaboss skulle ha gjort. Victoria är en karaktär som jag känner mycket för - hon är fyrtio, nyligen skild och har ett riktigt svin till exmake som verkar leva för att göra livet svårt för henne. Hon har gett upp mycket för honom och har inte ens ett arbete att komma tillbaka till. Dock ger hon inte upp. Drömmen om ett eget barn, ett stabilt liv och det faktum att hon är en stark, smart och självständig kvinna, får henne att jobba hårt och visa framfötterna. Erik är ocks...

Epic love story, Jane Austen-style by Huda Fahmy

Author: Huda Fahmy Title:  That Can be Arranged Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing Published: 2020 Genre: Graphic novel Links:  Adlibris  /  Bokus  /  Goodreads Huda Fahmy brings it once again. Having loved her Instagram-feed and previous book [book:Yes, I'm Hot in This: The Hilarious Truth about Life in a Hijab|40538900], of course I had to read this one as soon as it arrived at work. Judge me all you want, but I read this instead of working (although I do work as a librarian, so it could count as work), as I did with the other one. And this was good. I loved little Huda and her parents. I also liked how she described her thoughts about marriage, going from longing for it, to being kind of reluctant, to believing getting married was what defined her, to realizing a man and marriage doesn't make her a better or more worthy person. I loved her discovery of Jane Austen-novels and how she could see herself, her family and her situation through thes...
