Excerpt :
“I’m going to kiss you now,” he breathed, his eyes
searching my face.
I bobbed my head, my heartbeat a hopeless flutter in my
chest. “Okay.”
The breath of his chuckle landed on my mouth as his lips
pressed against mine. My body sagged against his, and I brought my arms up and
twined them around his neck. Tilting my head to the side, I moved my mouth
against his, moaning when his tongue slipped through my lips. I could spend the
rest of my life kissing Dylan Crawford.
Somewhere I thought I heard a cell phone ringing, but I was
too lost in the sensations consuming my body.
“You wanna get that?” Dylan spoke against my lips, one side
of his mouth lifted in a smirk.
“No,” I whispered.
“It’s probably your mama or daddy,” he said with an arched
brow.
I bit my lip to hold back my smile. “You’re probably right,
but they’re not going to ruin the last night I have with you. I’ll deal with
them later.”
“I see my bad influence is rubbing off on you.”
“Would you rather I answer it so they can tell me to come
home on my last night?”
Dylan’s smile flattened, and his eyes searched my face as
though he was trying to memorize my every feature. I studied him as well,
taking in his bright green eyes, strong jawline and full lips. I could not
believe I was in his arms, after daydreaming about him for four years.
Everything about our time together seemed surreal, and I knew once I left for
school, it would be surreal—a dream from a time in my life where I came
alive. My own smile disappeared as I wondered how long it would take him to
forget our time together. Come tomorrow night would he be entertaining a new
girl, taking her fishing and mud wrestling? It was very hard to remember that
he could do whatever he wanted. We were not dating and probably never would.
Our time was a fantasy that reality would crush tomorrow.
“Why the pouty face?”
I hadn’t realized I was zoning out, lost in my thoughts.
“I’m not pouting.”
Dylan leaned forward and sucked my bottom lip in between
his. My eyes wide, my heart thudding in my chest, I suppressed the moan in my
throat and the heat it had created between my legs.
“I couldn’t resist,” Dylan said, setting me down. “It was
just out there, teasing me with its cuteness.”
