My belly flutters, my heart soaring like a fool even though I know it's a runaway utterance. A thoughtless spill of the moment's intensity. I shut my eyes against the word, as if the action will shield my chest from its impact. Or my pussy. "You like that?" he asks, his voice a low rumble. "You like it when I fuck you hard? When I make you feel like the dirty little slut you are?" I can't even respond, my throat is too constricted, my lungs too empty. His words are like a knife, slicing through me, making me feel even more exposed and vulnerable than I already am. "Say it," he demands, his thrusts becoming even more punishing. "Tell me you're a dirty little slut." "I'm a dirty little slut," I sob, the words torn from my throat. I can't believe I'm saying them, but they feel true. "That's right," he growls, his breath hot against my ear. "You're MY dirty little slut. And you're going to come for me again, aren't you?" *** MORALLY GREY meets GREY'S ANATOMY meets FIFTY SHADES OF GREY... 24-year-old Ramona Lisa Gallo seems to finally be back on track to a normal life...while cruising the financial struggle bus.

EXCERPT: As he leaned over with his arms folded, resting on the table, I took a second to admire the way his slightly messy hair fell in front of his face and the back of his black jeans hugged his ass. He glanced up at me, knowing I'd been staring at him, and I felt my face heat up.
