For those of you who missed the post of the release, I briefly explained how the series began as an idea for a Young Adult novel, and that I had in fact written what amounts to a novella taking place the summer before REBORN begins, and I decided to release it here on steemit.
BORN
Chapter Nineteen
"Now you can prove me wrong." Austin stated with a teasing smile playing on the corner of his lips.
"Well...that's not fair. I was going to and you stopped me, so too late."
He was already shaking his head, and she knew she wouldn't get out of it that easily, so she flashed him very briefly then tried to run past him.
He caught her and turned her around. "I believe the terms were the shirt comes off, not up."
"Terms, there were no terms, I just said I was considering it." He started to tickle her then, the worst kind of torture for her, and in seconds she was down on the cold nylon floor, laughing and crying for mercy.
The “look” came over his face again, the “I really want to have sex with you” look and her stomach did a somersault. He lowered himself on top of her and pressed his mouth on hers, coaxing her lips open and pushing his tongue inside.
She met it aggressively with her own. His hands were caressing her sides one moment then under her shirt and cupping her bare breasts the next, and it felt so good.
He made a noise in the back of his throat as he slowly ground his pelvis against hers and she put one arm around his lower back and pressed down, causing him to make the noise again, something between a growl and a grunt. God it was turning her on. She had a vision of him naked and moving on her and she made her own excited noise into his mouth. He broke the kiss and for a second she really wished he hadn't because she was brought back to reality and a Too Fast warning sign flashed across her mind.
"Okay, let's go back outside now," she said shakily.
He pulled her to her feet and wrapped his arms around her.
"You make me so hot," he whispered in her ear.
His husky tone made her shiver. "I know that's why we're going back outside."
He chuckled and led her out of the tent with his hand on the small of her back.

The next couple of days passed a lot like the first one had, excessive drinking, dancing and loud music-except it was better because ending up cuddled in Austin’s arms was a given and his constant solid presence provided some protection from her fear of the shadow men. Whenever she saw them, while her “off” button was out of order-which was a lot given how much she’d been drinking-she’d bury her face in his neck or chest.
Of course he had no idea what it was about, thinking it was simply random displays of affection. She thought about telling him, kept going back and forth on it, worrying that he would think she was nuts but needing to share it with someone. In the end she decided to keep it to herself for a little while longer.
A decision that initiated their second ever fight on the third night they were there. Well that mixed with copious amounts of alcohol and a certain angel-faced punk ass….
