✨EXCERPT: KACE by Sawyer Bennett releasing April 7!
#PreOrderHere: https://geni.us/SB_Kace
Laurel’s head snaps up and I’m mesmerized by how beautiful her eyes are… a dark denim blue, which reminds me of the night sky just before pitch-black sets in. They widen, pupils flaring for a heartbeat, and her mouth parts slightly. It’s like she’s trying to figure out why on earth I just materialized in front of her.
And now is the moment.
I brace myself for recognition.
For disaster.
I have no clue if Laurel has ever tried to look me up. I don’t even know if she likes me enough to have wasted the energy. It would not have been easy, and she would’ve had to dive deep to make the connection between William Elliott and Kace Elliott. But she’s also a smart cookie and I’m ready for that possibility.
She studies me harder—eyes flicking occasionally to my hairline, to my jaw, then back to my eyes. It’s a deep perusal and I wonder if she likes what she sees.
“You know…,” she says slowly, “I’m pretty sure you’re not following the rotation rules of speed dating.”
I grin with relief because she has no clue who I am, either as William or Kace. “I think the rules are more like… guidelines.”
She stares, trying not to smile, but fails. Just a little curve of her lips, but it’s there. “I’m pretty sure rules are rules.”
“And somebody somewhere is saying rules are made to be broken,” I quip.
She tilts her head. “Are you a rule breaker?”
Chuckling, I shake my head. “On the contrary, I’m an absolute rule follower. Rules are there for a reason because they’re safe, predictable and offer comfort.”
“Yet you didn’t follow the rotation rules,” she points out.
“Beautiful woman exception.” I offer a smile that shows the dimple in my right cheek. “Everyone knows about that one.”
