He framed my face with his hands, eyes searching mine, deep and intense. “What?” I
whispered, my heart stuttering in my chest so much it felt hard to breathe.
“You slay me, Peyton.”
And then he kissed me.
His hand curved around the back of my neck, gripping me possessively as Xander
licked and teased the seam of my mouth, coaxing me to let him in. My hands fisted his
hoodie as I fell willingly into him, the feel of his lips, the heat of his body beneath me.
“Xander,” I breathed, kissing him harder, deeper. Our tongues slid together, slow and
searching. Xander’s fingers twined in my hair and he yanked gently, giving him better
access to trail hot open-mouthed kisses over my jaw and down my throat.
“I must taste lovely,” I chuckled, all too aware that I’d just worked a six-hour shift at
Cindy’s Grill.
Xander met my gaze, pure need glittering there. “You think I care?” He rolled his hips,
showing me exactly how much he didn’t care.
A bolt of lust shot through me.
“More,” I panted.
But I saw the torment in his eyes. Xander wouldn’t cross that line. Not here, not yet. But
God, I needed him to touch me. I needed something to tamp down the flames
threatening to burn me inside out.
Feeling a lick of confidence, I shifted above him slightly and then lowered myself down.
Right over him. His throaty growl made my skin vibrate, sending delicious shivers
shooting through me.
“Fuck, Peyton.” His hands slid to my ass again, pulling my body closer, rocking me
against his hard length. “This is dangerous...”
“We’re not doing anything.” I leaned in, smirking against his mouth as I kissed him. “Not
really.”
He chuckled darkly, kissing me back with as much desperation as I felt.
This wasn’t wrong.
It wasn’t.
How could it be wrong when it felt so right?

She's still in high school...
And completely forbidden.
My Rating - 5 Stars!
An early and quick review. Tragic Lies is the second book in the Rixon High series. In classic LA Cotton magic, we're transported right back into this amazing world, where we first met the parents in the Rixon Raiders series, and now we are getting to know the next generation.
Since reading Off Limits, I have been anxiously awaiting this story. We knew that Xander saved Peyton's life after tragedy struck her world. And we knew that meant a messy tale was coming. But, damn, this story is super messy and complicated.
And I love it!!!
