“You need to listen to me, Indigo.” His voice is so hard, so harsh, it makes my blood freeze in my veins. I stop. I listen. “I left because I couldn’t deal with everything I was feeling, can you understand that?” As his temper rises, so does the volume of his voice. “Do you get that since I’ve been living with you, breathing the same air as you, living the same life as you, I’ve been falling a little further under your spell every day?” My mouth goes slack, the saliva drying up all at once while my heartbeat slows to a dangerous level. “Do you understand that the thought of losing you, the thought of you not coming back to this apartment with me, of not seeing you every day for our workouts or sitting at the island with you for every meal completely wrecks me?” With every word he says, he takes another step forward. With every sentence he utters, a tiny piece of the armor around my heart chips away and falls at his feet. Until he’s right here. Right in front of me, the heaving breaths of my chest matching his breath for breath. I brace my hands against his chest, attempting to shove him but not moving him an inch. “Damn you, Lawson Snyder! Watching you walk away, it hurt. And I. Don’t. Hurt. Ever. I’m too damn tough too allow you to come along and ruin everything I’ve built for myself. Shit…” I pause, my heavy, erratic breathing the only sound in the room with the exception of his matching breaths. Something in his eyes sparks, and it’s the only warning I have before his arms wrap tightly around me and his lips crash onto mine. ***SERIES SALE ALERT*** 🔥🔥🔥 #kindlebooks #kindle #ibooks #nook #sale #romancebooktubers #romancebooks #romanticsuspense #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #authorsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CLRn4Mfgeoh/?igshid=flim476rh98r
