The sexual tension was so much, it hitched, "Xander, could you lower the front several inches, please?" she said in ecstasy "And pull the table up another foot." While she spoke I teased her breasts, rolling the nipples, stroking the undersides. I leaned in slowly, brushing her lips teasingly. Scoping out the terrain, meeting her lips, her mouth was soft with a tiny ridge in the center of the lower lip dividing into two tiny bottoms. I took the kiss deeper, opening her lips with my own, coaxing her into responding to it all. Under a slow assault, her mouth softened, much like the nipples of a woman after she'd come.

Emerson knows high school can be messy, but nothing could prepare her for Oliver Remmer's return. Dangerous, mysterious, and rumored to be a psychopath, he's the kind of boy everyone fears... and everyone watches. Yet Emerson isn't everyone. She sees the layers beneath his intense exterior-the boy shaped by a troubled past, moments of tenderness hidden under bursts of anger, and a vulnerability most people would never notice. Between the gossip, the chaos, and the adrenaline-charged tension, Emerson can't help but be drawn in. Oliver is unpredictable, and being near him is thrilling-and maybe a little bit reckless. Standing her ground almost feels like a dare. But some loves are worth the risk. Some loves are easy. Back Cover Copy: "Write down one word that describes you." Oliver didn't hesitate. Psychopath. Everyone expects me to run. To stay away. To be careful. But I didn't. Because there's something behind the intensity, the walls, the mystery. Something only I get to see. Because sometimes the thrill of the unknown is exactly what your heart has been waiting for. Set in North Carolina, Open is a teen romance about taking risks, discovering who someone really is, and finding that love can feel mysterious, dangerous... and irresistible. C O V E R B Y @ZiaDavis
