Excerpt
Blaise POV
Blaise POV
As soon as she walks into the fucking room, my eyes are glued to
her. Her hair is bunched up on the top of her head in a mess of
curls. She has on a pair of work out shorts and a tank top, nothing
special, and to me she’s never looked better.
Brent is talking. I think he’s thanking me for helping him
move Tatum today. I’m trying to listen to him, but it’s not working out too
well. I can’t pull my eyes away from her.
As soon as she’s close enough for me to touch her, I have to
shove my hands into the pockets of my shorts to keep from reaching out and
pulling her into me. Ember helps as she wraps her arms around Tatum,
yammering on about how excited she is. I know it’s irrational, but I’m
jealous of my baby sister right now.
Once Ember finally releases her, Leah grabs Ember and leads her
down the hall. I’m hoping Brent goes as well so I can be alone with her
for even just a few seconds.
Lady luck is on my side. I smile as Brent follows Leah and
my sister to start loading Tatum’s things. I reach out and grab her
hand. This girl…I’ve never been like this before, needing to touch
someone, needing the connection. I lace our fingers together. I’ve
missed her. I know it makes no sense, but it is what it is.
Tatum is looking down at our entwined fingers. She doesn’t
retreat, so I take that as a good sign. Lifting her chin I say, “Hey
you.”
She replies with a croaked hi. The crack in her voice
calms me. She feels this, too. She has to. This can’t be
one-sided. “Let’s get you moved,” I whisper. To my surprise as much
as hers, I kiss her forehead. I lead her down the hall to join the
others. I don’t trust myself to be alone with her. I gently squeeze
her hand and let go before placing it on the small of her back. I’m not
ready to not have that connection with her.

Liam POV
“Liam, Hales is already in there asleep. After we got your text she was wiped out, so
I convinced her to go on to bed. I had
to promise that if anything changed, I would wake her up.”
Fuck! I want Allison in my bed. I want to take care of her. I turn and headed back towards the living
room, she can sleep on the couch and I would take the chair.
“Um, Liam, Blitzen is here, remember?” Aiden
smirks. He knows this is killing me and
he’s enjoying the hell out of it.
“Fine,” I mumble as I walk into his bedroom. I lay Allison down on the bed. As I do, she
reaches for me.
“Liam.”
“Shh. You’re in Aiden’s room,” I tell her.
“Here,” Aiden says handing her a shirt of his to
sleep in.
I glare at Aiden and he smirks at me, yet
again. He knows what it does to me to
have her in his clothes. He knows that I
want her in my bed with me. Asshole!
Allison starts to set up. “Let me help you.” I lean down and place my
arm around her back and gently lift her so that she is sitting on the side of
the bed.
She looks up at me with a small grin, “Are you going
to help me change?” My heart stops. This
beautiful amazingly sexy creature is looking at me with innocent trusting eyes
asking me to help her remover her clothes for bed. Before I can get my brain to function so that
I can respond, Aiden is protesting.
“Ash, I can go get Hales, she just laid down I’m
sure she wouldn’t mind helping you,” Aiden suggests.
Allison looks at Aiden like he is crazy. “Why would
I wake her when Liam can help me? she says it so matter of fact like me
undressing her is a normal as breathing.
My stalled heart is now thundering in my chest. Its beating so loud, I am sure that they can
both hear it. Somehow I am able to make
myself speak above the thunder inside my chest.
I cup her cheek in the palm of my hand “I can get Hales if that would
make you feel more comfortable.” Please
say you still want me to do it. Hell
yes, I am being selfish but my protective instincts are in overdrive when it
comes to Allison. I will always want it
to be me.

Liam’s
POV
I
stop in front of the bathroom door and lean my forehead against it, I can hear
her soft cries. I knock softly,
“Allison, it’s Liam. Can you let me in, sweetheart?”
“Just
give me a minute, I’ll be fine,” she chokes out.
“Please,”
I whisper.
I
hear her shuffling towards the door, and then hear the handle move. When she pulls the door open, her face is
blotchy and her eyes are red and swollen.
Without even thinking, I step inside and shut the door. I pull her close to me and wrap her in my
arms. I kiss the top of her head, and as
I do she begins to cry harder. I’m not
sure how long we stay like that, but while I am holding her, I lose a piece of
myself to Allison Shay Hagan.
She
pulls away from me slowly. “Sorry about your shirt,” she whispers.
I
pull her chin up with my thumb and forefinger so that she is looking me in the
eye. “Are you okay? Do you want to talk
about it?”
She
shakes her head no. “I feel like such a baby.
It was years ago, I should be able to talk about it.”
“Is
there something in particular that upset you?” I ask softly as I pull her back
into my chest and slowly rub my hand up and down her back.
“Not
really, it’s just…” She sniffled.
“What,
baby? What happened?
“It’s
just family dinners. I miss those. For
the last eight years it’s just been Gran and me.”
I
can’t find the words through the lump in my throat. My only reply is to pull her tighter. As I do, she in turn wraps her arms tight
around my waist. After getting my
emotions under control, I pull away from her and cup her face in my hands. I wipe her tears away with my thumbs. “You are amazing, you have so many people who
love you, Aiden, his parents, Hailey. My
parents adore you.” I swallow back my
emotions. “You have me,” I whisper never tearing my eyes from hers.
“Liam,”
she murmurs.
Her
plea sends me over the edge, I slowly bring her face to mine as I lean
down. I stare at her lips and then back
to her eyes letting her know my intent.
I need to kiss her more than I need my next breath. I wait, as my intentions set in. I can see
when understanding flashes across her face and she licks her lips. I lean a little closer, closing the space
between us. Hesitating, giving her the
opportunity to stop me, she doesn’t.
When
my lips touch hers, I feel the tremor in my hands that are gently holding her
close to me. She must have felt it to
because she places her hands over mine as I continue to caress her cheeks while
I kiss her. She opens her mouth and I
slip my tongue inside. The taste of her
on my tongue causes me to release a deep moan. As I do, Allison slows the kiss
and rests her forehead against my chest.
“Liam.”
“Mmm,”
I am again at a loss for words. I have
kissed my share of girls and not once did any of those kisses elicit this kind
of reaction from me. I have never in my
life felt this kind of connection with any other human being.
“What
are we doing?”
I
kiss her forehead as I pull back to look into her eyes. “I was kissing the most
amazing girl I have ever met.” I need her to know that she is different.
She
blushes. “I want more, Liam. Not that I
expect a proposal next week, but you’ve already made it clear that you won’t
make a commitment, so what are we doing?”
I
shake my head and pull her back to my chest. “I don’t know, baby. All that I can tell you is that kiss was
incomparable to anything I have ever felt.
You wreck me, you know that?” I ask searching her face for
understanding.
“Well,
since that was officially my first kiss, I don’t have anything to compare it
to, but this feeling.” She grabs my hand and lays it over her heart. “This
connection that makes my heart race is uncharted waters for me. I wish that I could hold onto it and never
let go.” She sighs, “But I need all of you, Liam. I don’t want to share you, and
I can’t just be a fling. My heart can’t
take it.” She brushes her hands across
my cheek. “If you ever decide that you
can give me all of you, you know where to find me.” She lifts up on her tip
toes and gives me one last chaste kiss on the lips. “Thank you for listening, and for the kiss,”
she says as she turns and walks out of the room.
I
stand there trying to regain control of my emotions while her words race
through my mind.
Allison
POV
I wake up feeling like I am being crushed. I open my eyes and it all comes rushing back
to me. Liam. I am lying flat on my back and he is sleeping
soundly with his head on my chest, arms around my waist and his leg thrown over
mine. I can’t prevent the smile that I
know I am sporting. He held me in his
arms all night. I glance out the window
and it’s still dark outside. Good. This
gives me some time to watch him in the shadows.
I move my hand to his head and begin running my fingers through his hair. Liam has taken me by storm; body, mind and
heart. I was worried that he would want
more from me before I am ready, and even that he is “playing me” to get into my
pants, but he has treated me with nothing but love and respect. Love?
I highly doubt that it’s love but I can tell that he truly cares for
me. The way he looks at me, touches me,
holds me. He makes me feel wanted.
I can feel myself falling harder and faster by the
minute. I’m scared as hell, but I’m
going to go with it. I’m going to paint
my colors on the canvas of life and see how the picture turns out. My only hope is that Liam and I can continue
on this journey together.
I continue running my fingers through his hair,
watching him sleep when a loud clap of thunder rumbles through. I jump not expecting it and Liam bolts
up. “Allie what’s wrong?” I can’t contain the laugh that escapes me.
“Nothing, the thunder just scared me, I wasn’t
expecting it,” I tell him as he pulls me into his arms.
“Did it wake you up baby?” he asks softly as he
strokes his fingers across my back.
“No, I was awake,” I reply just as softly.
“What? Why were you awake? Are you okay?” he asks.
I giggle at how concerned he is for me. “Liam, I’m
fine. I was…I was watching you
sleep.” I reach up and run my hands
through his hair. “I was doing this, and
memorizing everything that I could about you.” I decide honestly is the best
policy. Well almost, I refuse to tell
him that I think I’m in love with him.
Hell to the no! That would scare him off for sure.
“I thought that I was dreaming but you’re really
here,” he speaks softly into my neck.
“Yes, I’m here. You can go back to sleep, I’m sorry
that I woke you.” I curl tighter against his chest.
Liam tugs the covers back over us and kisses the top
of my head. “Can we spend the day
together?” he asks me groggily. I’m not
completely sure that he’s not talking in his sleep. I hold in the chuckle that wants to escape
me. I don’t want to wake him again if he
is sleeping.
“I would want nothing more,” I reply honestly.
