#PreOrderHere
I lift her chin with my finger so that she’s looking up at me. “Are you attracted to me?”
She bites her lip, then nods.
“Even though we’re from different worlds?”
She moves closer still, her face inches from mine. “Not all that different.”
But we are. She’s in my arms now, but soon she’ll be on a plane, heading thousands of miles away.
“In two weeks, you leave for New York, and I’ll still be here in Lahoma Springs.”
She takes a deep breath, her smile faltering for a moment, then she looks back up at me. Her eyes are so beautiful, a deep, dark brown I could get lost in. I want to smother myself in her, to consume and be consumed. I feel complete, and I also feel like I can’t get close enough.
“I can’t keep stuffing these feelings,” she admits, and it makes me take a quick breath. Because I can’t either, and the relief of this moment is almost overwhelming. I have her. But the ache in my heart can’t stop telling me that I’m going to lose her.
“What do we do?” I ask.
Her eyes sparkle with unshed tears, but she smiles through them. I brush a thumb over her lashes, catching them before they fall. She closes her eyes briefly, leaning into my hand. When she looks at me again, it’s with renewed determination.
“We make the most of our time,” she whispers, then presses her lips to mine.
