Excerpt
1st scene:
“Okay,” Shawn answered. He took the
duffel and the guitar from Josh. “Say your goodbyes and we’ll be off.” He
disappeared inside.
I climbed one step, which brought my
eyes almost to Josh’s level. “So this is it.” Oh God, no crying, no crying, no crying. I pursed my lips and
locked my jaw.
“Make the most of it, Cass.” His mouth
caressed mine. It wasn’t enough but any more and I would come undone. “With
some luck we’ll see each other in D.C. in three weeks and then next month here
again to see Lucas.”
I started to turn around and climb the
stairs. The strength of his grip on my wrist startled me. In a flash, his palms
cupped my cheeks.
“I won’t let you get away, Cass. Not
again. I made the mistake twice. I believed the worst of you. I didn’t fight
for you.”
“It’s okay, Champ.
It’s the past—”
“It’ll never be okay. You are worth
fighting for. You are worth dying for. And you are certainly worth living for.
I’ll go after anything or anyone standing between us like a fucking
Rottweiler.”
He kissed me and it felt like he was
stamping me with his love. My legs threatened to give way. He stood back and I
climbed one step backwards. The automatic door shut in front of me.
I lifted my hand and waved at Josh. I
must have looked like the poor kid who’d lost her mom in the mall. I heard whistles
coming from the cabin of the bus but I didn’t give a damn.
My lips shaped the words I hadn’t said
to Josh for so long. I didn’t want to say them out loud. Not because of the
guys making fun of me, but because there were only mine and I didn’t want to
share them with anybody but Josh.
I.
Love.
You.
