Excerpt:
“Not enough pay. Not enough hours. Not enough clothing.” She tossed the red marker across the room.
“This newspaper is full of shitty jobs. There has to be something in this town I’m qualified to do.”

“Have you considered starting your own tantric tutoring classes at the Y?” Matt waved his napkin as
Olivia threw him an evil glare. “Hardy-har har. Are you ever going to let that go?It happened over a month ago. “I know, but I still wish I had been there to see it.

“I know, but I still wish I had been there to see it. I’m afraid the images in my mind of you and the
Professor rolling around in your office just don’t do the real thing justice.” “Perv.” “You know it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the old man still sits around picturing the two of you getting each other off while he jerks off in that disgusting office of his.” “Really? Did you have to go there?

I feel dirty just thinking about it. Gross. I still can’t believe I let my libido take control of me.”
“Just kidding, babe. Tell you what, if you promise to go to River Jewel while I’m in Chicago doing actual
work this weekend, I’ll stop teasing you about the senior-shag when I return.”

Olivia rolled her eyes. “Liar. You’re enjoying this.”
“Well, yeah, but I promise to stop. Besides, I overheard someone last night say that they’re putting a bookstore in at the Resort, on the third floor. That tells me they’re hiring and who better to run a bookstore than
you?”
you?”
It had been years since she’d been in an actual bookstore. Working at the library, reading Matt’s books and the ease of online shopping had supported her need for books for years. To be employed at a shop full of
her favorite things would be amazing! Just the thought of working in one made her panties wet.

For Olivia, books had always been everything. The way they smelled when one opened them and the feel ofthem in her hands was like a drug. This was one of the many reasons she’d loved her job at the library.
She could be closest to the things that made her happy.

One night after the library closed, her love of sex and fiction came together in an amazing way. She’d snuck
in with a guy and they’d made love on top of one of the long, mahogany tables. Olivia had never felt more
alive than that night. She’d been surrounded by new and old authors, their famous works standing at
attention, surrounding them.
Their stories of happily-ever afters calling to her as she milked every drop from her ex’s shaft and after that,
screwing in the library had become the only thing that came close to satisfying her.

Her fiancé, Randy, had never been into anything she wanted or needed and for a long time, she’d thought it was her fault. Olivia had tried to be everything Randy Davis desired and it took her a long time to realize thatno one could have made him happy. His insatiability rivaled hers but he preferred to satisfy his needs with
other people behind Olivia’s back. If she had known what he was doing, she never would’ve stayed with
him for as long as she did. Looking back, she had wasted so much time and she’d cried enough tears to fill
the Ohio River. If only she had met Matt sooner. Maybe their lives would’ve been different. Straddling Matt on a library table, riding him until they were both raw and exhausted…

“Hellooo. Earth to Olivia.” Matt snapped his fingers in her face. “Where’d you go? Oh, you were thinking
about Tim, the quarterback again, weren’t you?”

Busted. “Not exactly. Okay, maybe.”
“You were! Library sex flashbacks? I’m so jealous!” He teased. “I’ve never known anyone to hold on to a memory of an ex like you have.” Did she sense a bit of real jealousy in his tone?
Maybe it was a fantasy of you that I was thinking about. She’d seen how well- endowed Matt was. Helping him get into and out of the shower safely every other day had played a huge part in her need to be taken by aman, any man. Thinking back, she should’ve spoken up sooner. Maybe their lives would be different if she

he’d fulfill all of her fantasies. But what if she was wrong?

Extra:
***** She’d be separated from the wonderful worlds she’d discovered between the pages of books by
both new and old authors. They’d been her saving grace after losing her fiancé years ago. After she’d found out he’d been cheating, Olivia had immersed herself in the job and it had filled the hollow void that his
sudden death and all that she’d discovered about him had created. Here, she’d found happy endings over
and over again. In a cold world full of lies, the library spoke to her, welcomed her with its truth and warmth. With every bit of joy these creations had given her, she’d returned the favor by mending worn covers, caring for them, dusting their shelves, protecting them. Now, she had to let them go and it felt as though her heart
were being ripped from her chest. *****
