✨EXCERPT: LEGACY by Eva Simmons releasing April 18th!
#PreOrderHere
“You want me to read your ridiculous mafia romance?” His eyebrow hitches.
“I can find a motorcycle club romance if that’s more your taste.”
Jesse’s eyes widen. “They actually have that shit?”
I nod sharply, biting back the urge to grin when he turns back to the mafia book instead.
His gaze scans the scene, and I’m tempted to ask him to read it out loud for my own amusement, but when his eyes immediately widen, and he slaps the book shut, his reaction says enough.
“That was fast.” I circle the desk, stepping close to snatch the book from his hands. “Are you embarrassed, Jesse King?”
I’ve positioned myself too close. The air is all leather and allspice cologne.
His shock dissipates, and the power in the room flips as his blue stare bores into me.
I shift back; he leans closer.
He exhales; I inhale.
It’s all too much.
“Embarrassed… no.” He smirks as I feel my cheeks heat. “More like surprised.”
The invisible cord between us is taut. Each retreating step of mine is matched with an advancing one of his.
“So that’s what you read at night, Reagan?” His voice is smooth as honey.
“I was just proving a point. You can’t shock me.” My heart races.
“I’m not saying I do that kind of thing.”
Jesse grins. “You don’t do what exactly? Mafia men? All three of them at once? Handcuffs and—”
“Any of it.” I cut him off. And this time, it’s my cheeks that feel like they’re on fire.
While I purposely picked a spicy scene for him to read, I forgot that particular one had so many participants.
Jesse leans closer.
My heart beats like it’s trying to find a path to him through my ribs.
The air is so thick it’s hard to breathe.
Does he sense it?
His lips nearly graze my ear as he leans in and whispers, “Now who’s embarrassed, sweetheart?”
