!!ELITE EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT!!
My arm looped around her waist, tucking her close. Clearly, I wanted the pain.
Hers or mine, I didn’t know.
The bare skin of her back exposed by the drape in her dress scorched my arm.
It sent a shock of lust running rampant through my veins.
“Problem is all the things I’m wanting to do to you,” I murmured down at her. Straight up. Because I was bettin’ this girl deserved the truth. “Pretty fuckin’ sure it would scar us both.”
Greed flash-fired.
A thunderbolt that struck in the middle of us.
Hot enough to torch this fucking ridiculous house. Leave it nothin’ but ash.
“And there’s no fucking good that could come of it,” I said.
“Because you don’t want it or because you don’t deserve it?”
“Because I will ruin you.” The words were hard. Angry in their truth.
Sable eyes pinched like she didn’t have the first clue what to make of me. “Why would you say that?”
“Because I’m already ruined, baby.”
We were swaying, swept up in this unstoppable dance that I never saw coming.
I hadn’t felt anything even similar in three years.
Guilt clotted the flow of air to my too-tight lungs.
That realization right there should have been enough to send me hauling ass out those doors.
“I should walk away, shouldn’t I?” she asked.
I gave her a tight nod.
She touched my chest.
Motherfucking flames.
“So, what is this feeling that’s begging me to stay?”
