Who says 7 at night is too late to drink coffee?
That's right.
No one.
In other news, so excited for the release of Letting You In! Should be coming out before the week is done on Amazon, here's a little preview! :D
He
placed his fingers on my arms, sliding them down, lifting them up
between us. Each inch of me that he touched came to life, goosebumps
and cells on fire. “I can't dance,” I abruptly blurted, glowing
intensely while recalling how I had already shown I couldn't sing,
either.
“Everyone
can dance,” he chided me, bending close to keep from being drowned
out. The music thumped, reaching into my bones, my brain melting the
moment he linked his fingers with mine. I didn't even feel any pain
from my scrapes, they were forgotten.
I
let him guide me, our steps simple, his hands swaying, showing me how
to move side to side with him. Around us, people were shouting,
wrapped up in each other, hair tossing and hips swaying. Yet, Deacon
and I, we spun in our own little bubble, a different dance entirely.
Why
do I keep letting him pull me in? I
wondered, looking into his glimmering emerald eyes. Each
time, when I think something will happen, he backs away from me. Even
knowing that, terrified of repeating last night, afraid of rejection
all over again, I knew I couldn't have escaped. Not then, not with
his hands on mine, his torso inches from my own.
“See,”
he laughed, whispering into my ear, the hairs on my neck prickling.
“You can do this, it's easy.”
“This
is easy.” My lips twisted, helpless to contain my joy. “But this
isn't really dancing.”
“No?”
He murmured, pretending to be offended. “Let's try some real
dancing, then.” One of his arms coiled around my body, his fingers
pressing into my lower back. His other hand took my own, setting it
on his shoulder, then returning to join its twin on my spine.
Oh
god, what do I do, what should I do?
Numb,
I found both my palms holding his shoulders, my chest almost brushing
his when he started to rock side to side. “There,” he said slyly,
“is that more what you were expecting?”
Woohoo! Coming soon!
