Warning:

The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. Christina’s Tapestry has

been rated E–rotic by a minimum of three independent reviewers.

Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-

rotic), and X (X-treme).

S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.

E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall

word count. In addition, some E-rated titles might contain fantasy material that some readers find

objectionable, such as bondage, submission, same sex encounters, forced seductions, and so forth. E-rated

titles are the most graphic titles we carry; it is common, for instance, for an author to use words such as

“fucking”, “cock”, “pussy”, and such within their work of literature.

X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Unlike E-rated titles,

stories designated with the letter X tend to contain controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Chapter One

“Men suck.”

Christina Beaumont leaned in closer to hear her friend over the din of the Friday

evening crowd gathered in the bar. She could see Brenda valiantly fighting back tears as

she took a sip of her drink.

“What happened?” She had to yell her question to be heard over the music and

loud voices. She was beginning to think that coming here after work hadn’t been such a

good idea after all. But when Brenda had called her at the office begging her to meet

her, she had caved. She liked Brenda, but her friend was one of those women who were

always in crisis with her latest boyfriend.

“Jason and I had a fight.” Brenda dabbed at her eyes.

Christina was always amazed at the way Brenda could cry and not disturb her

makeup. Even worse, she actually looked good while she cried. Her eyes would fill

with tears and look luminous and vulnerable. When Christina cried, all she got was red

eyes and blotchy skin. “What happened?”

But her friend was no longer paying any attention to her. Christina turned and

glanced over her shoulder to see what had snagged Brenda’s attention and groaned.

Jason was strutting his way across the room, a determined look on his face.

As he wove in and around the crowds, his eyes never left Brenda’s face. Christina

felt all but invisible by the time he reached their table.

“Come home with me, baby.” Jason slid his arm around Brenda’s shoulders as he

leaned down to kiss her.

Christina looked away and sighed. She’d heard it and seen it all before, but she still

didn’t understand the strange relationship that her friend had with Jason. They seemed

to delight in fighting and making scenes in public places, which were inevitably
