Let's take a peek at the excerpt!
Olivia & Ray Excerpt – Letting Him Go
“That’s
what’s so special about you. Somehow you always see the best in everyone and
you find a way to pull it out. Everyone doesn’t have that gift, Ivy.” Raymond
lowered his lips to kiss hers.
She
smiled as she danced in his arms enjoying the feel of his soft cool lips
against her warm ones. As Olivia continued to sway in his arms she slightly
parted her lips, allowing his tongue to enter her mouth. The warm rush flowing
through her veins, and the slightly heady sense she experienced at the feel of
his hands rubbing her back up and down was intoxicating.
Raymond’s
mouth pulled away from hers and kissed the lower angle of her jawline. He
squeezed her waist between his hands and then pulled away from her.
“What
the hell am I gonna do with you, Ivy?” Raymond asked in frustration, walking
away rubbing his hands over his low cut hair.
“Maybe
I should go now.” Olivia walked to the living room table and picked up her keys
and purse.
“Look,
come on. I’m sorry. We’ve had a great evening. I don’t want it to end like
this.”
“Well
what am I supposed to do Ray? I told you where I stood before we decided to
move forward in this relationship and you said you understood. You said you
supported me. If you can’t do this, I completely understand and respect your
decision. But I’m not going to play games. You know where I stand.”
“You’re
right, I do know where you stand. But for how long?” Raymond was standing with
his back against the wall, arms crossed over his chest, looking absolutely
miserable. Olivia wished she could make things better for him, but this was
where they both had to make their decisions.
“You
know how long.”
“No,
I don’t, Ivy. The only thing you said was that you made the decision to be
celibate. You never said for how long.”
“And
you didn’t question it, Ray. You simply told me, and I quote, ‘The only thing I
was sure of after the divorce, was that I wanted to re-connect with you. You’re
the one thing I am certain about, and if that means I have to be celibate, too,
then I support you. I just want you in my life, Ivy.’ Was that not what you
told me, word for word?” Olivia asked with her keys in her hands and her purse
clenched tightly underneath her arm.
“Yes
it was.”
“So
you’re backing out now?” Olivia could feel her heart sinking and her dreams
walking out the door. But she knew he hadn’t made her any promises and she
could understand if he chose not to stay around in that capacity in her life.
She respected whatever decision he made.
“How
long, Ivy?” he repeated.
“Until
I’m married. And I know where you stand on that. You made yourself pretty
clear.”

About The Author
An
avid reader since her primary years, Chelle saw books as an escape mechanism.
Excited by the worlds, and characters that could be created with a touch of the
imagination, she began writing her own stories at the age of 12. The more
enamored with storytelling she became, the more she wanted to create stories
about the suffering, and hardships she saw others enduring, with one twist…her
characters would rise above their adversities and limitations, but not always
with traditional endings.
This
busy wife, and mother of three, exchanged her Girl Scout Leader pins for her
creative writing pen, as she began to focus on publishing her novels. In her
spare time, when she isn’t writing, she enjoys reading mystery novels, watching
the NBA, remodeling their home with her husband, and spending time with him and
their children. Having received her MBA in Human Resource Management, she says
she cannot wait for the day when writing becomes her full-time career. “If I
can show my readers they are not alone, in dealing with their challenges, and
that they can rise above their limitations, I have achieved my goal,” Ramsey
says.
