#PreOrderNow
“Do you want to know the truth?” His gaze is fixed on the floor. “The truth is, I gave my heart away a long time ago, Layne.”
My own heart squeezes painfully as I let go of him. What’s he trying to say?
“My whole heart, Layne. Not a piece, but the complete damn thing.” He sighs and rubs his face. “And I never got it back.”
I give his back a wide-eyed stare. Is he talking about me? Or about…
“If you leave me again…” His voice breaks.
Shit, shit, shit. “What are you asking of me, Kyler?” Please. Don’t destroy the moment.
He drops his shoulders. “I don’t know. I really don’t know.” With a deep sigh, he continues, “You’ve got that heart, dammit. Back when you and Connor were newlyweds, I tried things out with Jackie, but no sparks. I can’t love anyone the way I love you, Layne.”
The words burn my skin, paralyze me. I rub my upper arms with both hands. “Kyler, I—” Just don’t know what to say to this.
“I know why you left. I get it, too. But that doesn’t mean it was easy for me.” In one swift movement, he gets off the bed and walks over to the sink in the corner next to the door and places his hands on the edges. “Life in the MC isn't child’s play, I know that. What I asked of you wasn’t easy, Layne, and I understand why you didn’t want it for yourself. I really do. But my heart only knows that it was you and me against the world. And you said no so easily.” His voice breaks and his head sinks forward.
