✨EXCERPT: LIAR’S HEART by @colleenbutlerwrites releasing August 22nd!
#PreOrderHere
“I was under the impression we'd have separate bedrooms.”
His eyebrows rise in shock, but the smirk ghosting his mouth gives him away. “What gave you that impression?”
“The fact that we barely know each other? I need personal space, Ender. Space that's mine.”
That sends him prowling closer to me, gesturing with one hand around the room as he talks. "You have an entire half of a bed. Half of a walk-in closet. A dresser, nightstand, most of the storage in the bathroom, an office, not to mention the entirety of the rest of this house, all of my other properties, and everything else I have to my name. You’re my wife. You’ll eat at my table and sleep in my bed. That’s nonnegotiable.”
My eyes slide from his face to the bed and back again, knowing we never even made it to the bed before things got out of control last night. “And sex? Is sex nonnegotiable too?”
A lupine smile unfurls across his face. “Sex is always negotiable, Merrick, and usually the better for it.” Lust darkens his eyes, chasing away all traces of humor. “I meant what I said last night. Once you let me in, you won’t be able to get me back out. Remember that when you’re to the point of begging.”
“And you really think I’ll beg you for it?”
I lift my chin, not realizing my mistake until it’s too late. I exposed my neck to a hungry predator. Before I can react, he surges forward, so much faster than I knew he was capable of moving. A calloused palm slides up my neck before his fingers wrap around my jawline.
Ender leans in, his mouth so close to mine I taste his murmured words as much as I hear them. His eyes dip down to my parted lips, watching me gulp down big swallows of air like it’ll keep me from drowning in him. “I do. I do think you’ll beg for it. Because that’s the only way you’re going to get what you want.”
