Series: Something More
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
He told me to say when, but I can’t. Not with Andrés. It’s so hard to say anything when he’s trailing feather soft kisses down my neck, or when his touch sends hot currents of lust rippling across my skin.
Then there’s the way he smiles and offers soft words of encouragement when I’m creating art, almost like he believes I have talent.
He’s not like any guy I’ve ever met. Not like my ex-fiancée. Not like my father. He’s got me thinking that maybe we can have something more. More than just lust, degradation, and abuse.
And now I’m scared, because that means I’ll have to trust him with more than just my body, but with my heart, too.
Andrés, why can’t it be enough that I love you? That I want to spend forever with you. Why must you expect so much more? I’m not ready for marriage and a family. I don’t know if I ever will be.
Christina, I need to know that what I’m putting into this relationship isn’t all for nothing. To me, you mean everything. But I won’t be your stepping stone. Because as much as it would kill me, if you refuse to commit to something more, I will walk away.
Will Christina ever be ready? Will Andrés stay or walk? Will their love endure or is it doomed before they even have a chance?
Christina
I love Andrés so much, more than anyone I’ve ever loved before, yet there are days when I don’t know if I want to scream, swear, or fall to pieces. We’re trying to plan a future together, but our families won’t leave us alone. What’s worse is I can see Andrés is not happy.They say love trumps all hurdles, but some days I wonder will “our” love trump “our” hurdles? Then I look into Andrés’s sensual smile and passionate gaze and I fall in love all over again.
Andrés
When I told Christina I would love her forever, I meant every word. The nightmares are back, and I don’t know how to stop them, but I have to be strong for her. This pressure from my family and my job feels like a noose around my neck, but I will do whatever it takes to give Christina the life she deserves. She’s everything to me, and I won’t lose her.

I think it would depend. Sometimes, what starts out as a rebound ends up being a whole lot more.
Carolyn J
i really thinks it depends on the situation I cant just say no
bn100
it depends
Lori Moore
If I knew upfront- depending on the person I would consider it.
Trinitee Dunn
Depends on the situation.
Colleen
That would depend on how well I know the person
Colleen
Depends on well I know the person
Dawn Ruchel
Would you be in a relationship if you knew you were the rebound? Probably not I’ve had enough heartache and i know i’d feel used if it never worked out.
Mary Lou Moench
for me, it would depend on how long after….
rebound a week after the break up and you’re just going to be used.
If the relationship ended a year ago, even if they didn’t physically split until a week ago, then the heart isn’t really rebounding….

Rachel Brown
Hell no!
Amy
I wouldn’t be in a relationship if I knew I was a rebound, but I would be up to being “friends with benefits”. The no strings attached thing would be ideal for me in that situation.
LesleyG
Not really sure if I would want to be the rebound or not but….never say never.
Julie Garrett
yea if i was into the guy…I’d enjoy the ride while it lasted…life’s to short not to have fun
sandra murphy
no way
Tiffany
It would depend on where I am at in my life. If I am looking for a good time, might as well use each other for it. =)
Sheri Kurtz
Don’t think so. Not unless I wasn’t looking for love.
Julie K
Not a chance!
natasna
it really depends on if there were no feelings for the person they were with.
Veronica
No I really don’t think I could be a rebound
Bartra
Yes, and I have been the rebound and we were married for 14 years.
Beth
Well… since its been a really really (i mean years) since I’ve been on a date, I suppose not. 😀

paula
always believe in love because there should always be hope
Amber Barker
I think it would depend on the person but yeah I could see myself being a rebound especially if I was looking for a rebound myself!
Kim Perry
I think it would depend.
Shelly S.
I guess it would depend on what I was looking for. If it was a serious, long term commitment? Then no, I wouldn’t allow myself to be a rebound.
Heather
I’m not sure. My first instinct says no, but I think it depends on the situation.
Sabrina Taylor
Just because you are a rebound does not necessarily mean it’s not gonna work. They may know that the past relationship wouldn’t work and that they many now know what they are looking for. So you just never know. And by not giving it a shot means you may be missing out on something great.
Chris
I’m afraid to say I did once married him and it lasted 7 months never again
Cristina Riquelme
I don’t think so…
Tiffany
no. a rebound isn’t a relationship so how can you be in one? But I would have my fun with that person
Maria Theresa Santos
No
Sherri Williamson
It would depend on some things: if he was sure the previous relationship is over, if he was someone I REALLY could fall for, if he was good to me and my kids. Those are just a few I thought of off the top of my head, but I’m sure I’d have other things to think about also.
stella melissa
If I truly loved the guy, I would give my all to make it work!
Glendalys Hernandez
No I would not!
heather Purcell
I think it would depend. If it was someobe I really wanted to be with then yes. It would be worth the possible heartbreak to have that chance.
Erika
I don’t think I would like that arrangement but I guess it depends on the guy.
Thanks!
Diana Doan
If I liked the guy enough I would. Knowing that it may end but hoping that he’ll see something in me and change his mind.
Tara Copsy
No, I wouldn’t walk into a relationship knowing I was a rebound. Life is too challenging as it is, why make it harder?
Betul E.
It really depends on the situation.
Shannon Blackwell-Williams
I don’t think so, guess it would depend on where I was in my life…..
Vik BookLover
hmmm all depends on the time between… and if the guy is hot lol… sometimes a crazy fun time is worth it
Mary Bilowus
It would depend.
Yvonne van der Bent
Nu-uh. He’s gonna put me first baby! Or else he won’t be the one.
Brenda Hyde
I would IF I knew we both were agreed it was casual and agreed not to play games with each other.
Lea
Probably not…
Pam
I think it would depend on the situation.
Tia S
Maybe. It would depend on how the relationship ended
Jenn McElroy
I think it would have to depend on how the previous relationship had ended, how long I was in that relationship, how attracted I was to the new person, etc. I wouldn’t necessarily be opposed if I thought we could make it work
