✨EXCERPT: THEN THERE WAS YOU by S.L. Scott releasing March 27th!
#PreOrderHere
Seeing the exhilaration in her bright eyes could knock me on my ass if I’m not steady and release the tension that has been building in my shoulders. She might be saving my ass from the cops, but I’m the one on the receiving end of that incredible smile on her face. Have I entered another dimension, snuck in through a side door to an alternate reality? Like the way my chest tightens just looking at her, how is this real life? It sure wasn’t mine. Until Sosie.
I catch her in my arms, her body landing hard against mine, legs wrapped around my middle and arms holding me tightly around the neck. But the kiss is what has me disappearing into her, my thoughts settling into the comfort of her in my arms, my soul feeling at peace, and her lips taking to mine like we do this all the time. The cushion of her lips and the way her fingers caress my neck have me hoping it’s one of many more to come.
I never really considered myself a romantic, but I feel alive for the first time by the connection, my mind losing any cares outside of what our lips are doing, and I feel a shift in my core’s axis. Holding her to me, I tilt my head to take this deeper, but she pulls her lips from mine too fast. Smiling at the police, she waves. “Thanks for keeping the neighborhood safe.”
“Yeah, yeah,” they say, rolling up their window as the tires slide against a patch of ice before driving away.
Her boots drop to the ground as her arms loosen from my neck. Just like that, she’s out of my arms too fast for my liking and pats me on the chest. Sosie’s grin is much softer when she’s looking at me. “What kind of trouble are we going to get in?” she asks, flipping my world upside down. If this is just the beginning, I’m in for a hell of a ride.
