~ Excerpt ~
Caisey Quinn lives in Birmingham, Alabama with her husband, daughter, and other assorted animals. She is the bestselling author of the Kylie Ryans series as well as several New Adult Romance novels featuring country girls finding love in unexpected places.
“God, you’re so f*cking beautiful.”
Her eyes widened up at him. She could only imagine how she
looked. Hair messy and damp, his shirt sliding off one shoulder, eyes glazed
over.
“You are.” He shook his head as if searching for the words to
explain his attraction to her. “That first night, swear to everything holy, I
thought you might be some mythical creature come to steal my soul. But you were
so damn beautiful that I would have given it to you.”
She kept quiet, afraid to move or speak and risk breaking the
magic that kept him with her, kept him from running. He wasn’t running. He was
opening up and being honest.
Dean lowered himself into the bed beside her, propping on one
elbow and facing her. Fate mirrored his position and admired the way the
moonlight lit his handsome face.
“I asked the universe for a sign. It sent me you.”
Her whispered confession made him smile. But his expression
turned serious far too soon for her liking. “I felt it the moment I saw you. A
compulsion like I’d never felt before, as if some unseen force propelled me
toward you without my consent. I’ve felt it ever since.”
Fate rested her head on her hands and nodded against them. “I
feel it too. I’m just…a little afraid of it. Of what it might cost us.”
“My mom used to say that things worth having didn’t come easy
and that the kind of girl that was worth waiting for wouldn’t wait on anyone.
Those two adages keep coming back to me every time I think of you.”
She inched her hand over toward his. “Do you do that often?
Think of me?”
Dean kept eye contact, only breathing and watching her. “Define
often.”
Fate grinned. “More than once a week.”
The slight curve of his lips faded and his gaze became a heavy,
tangible thing she could feel pressing into her.
“I thought of you every day, Fate. And I didn’t even know your
name. Even after I did… I think after that, it was more like several times a
day.”
She wanted to keep this moment, to keep him here with her just
like this. Both of them exposed and vulnerable. It was real and honest
and—despite her exhaustion— exhilarating. But she knew it wouldn’t last
forever. Nothing ever did.
“Sleep with me tonight. Don’t leave. Just… Just sleep with me,
please.”
He nodded, letting his fingers interlace with hers between them
and placing a soft kiss on the top of her hand. “I’m not going anywhere.
Goodnight, sweetheart.”
“Goodnight, Dean.”
