The first thing Sam noticed was the cold. He shivered. Next, it occurred to him he didn't know where he was.

It was dark where ever this was. Even after he pried his eyelids open. He tried lifting his head to look around and immediately regretted it as the room spun and refused to come into focus.

It reminded him of the hangovers he had after passing out blind drunk in high school. That was before... Sam quickly pushed the thought out of his foggy brain, he didn't want to think about that, not now. Not ever. He was so confused.

Slowly he tried to get up. His body felt like it was weighed down, arms and legs straining against gravity to push away from the bed he was lying on. Why was he lying on a bed? And where was his shirt? That must be why he was cold; he was naked from the waist up.

Sam looked down and noticed as if from a distance, his socks and shoes were missing. The top button of his jeans was also undone. Something was not right here but he found it so hard to concentrate.

A nagging voice in his head was telling him he had to get up, get out.

Then he heard it. His salvation. Sam heard Ali's voice.

Sam sighed. Ali was here. Everything was going to be fine. Ali would know what was going on. Ali was his world and he just needed to get to her.

Struggling to get to his feet, Sam forced his body to work. Concentrating on Ali, Sam found the door to the room and pushed his way through. She was saying something about needing a file.

Bright light blinded him and he held up his hand to shield his eyes. Shaking his head, he tried to push away the cobwebs. "Ali?" His mouth felt like it was full of cotton balls.

"Sam..." Ali's voice had changed. Why was there pain in her voice? Something was not just wrong, it was very wrong.

Hi there! D. L. Croisette here. Thank you so much for reading the beginning of Ruby Red, The Sequel and the story of Ali and Sam. If you haven't read Ruby Red, Book 1, I highly suggest you do. It is not necessary, this book will stand up on it's own, but a few things might make more sense if you have their back story.

This book is a continuation of the love story of Ali and Sam and their lives together in New York. It means our favourite couple will be doing the things that committed couples do and it's more mature in nature. Please consider this your first and only warning regarding upcoming romantic scenes and adult situations.

Oh, and if you are reading this on anything else other than Wattpad, I have not given permission for it and your device is probably sustainable to all kinds of nasty stuff on those fake sites. To read this, completely free, go to Wattpad.com or this link: https://my.w.tt/DcjVxgtss6

I never intended to write a sequel to Ruby Red, but Ali and Sam insisted that their story be told. And a few fans asked for more. This book is dedicated to them. Let's see what Sam and Ali are up to, shall we? Without further ado...
