Excerpt

Butterfly-Dreams-teaser-#3“I’ve lost so many people, Beck. You scare me. You scared me. I don’t look at you as the guy who could die. I look at you as the guy who could devastate me.”

Why in the hell had I said all that?

What was wrong with me?

Damn my lack of filter!

But what I had said was true.

Because things with Beckett were precarious and terrifying.

And real.

The realest thing I had experienced in a very long time.

“Corin,” Beckett murmured, and I could see his blue eyes, bright in the dark.

It was quiet but for the sound of our breathing, shallow and loud.

He leaned in, his thumb pressing against my lips. I didn’t know what he was going to do. I didn’t know what to think. What to feel.

But I was feeling.

I was feeling so damn much.

I was drowning in these complicated, unfamiliar emotions.

He was close. So close.

Too close.

Not close enough.

“Corin,” he said my name again, softly. Oh so softly. Almost reverently. As if my name was the most important word he had ever spoken.

I shivered. I couldn’t help it.

The butterflies in my chest pushed and pressed, squeezing a beating, lonely heart.

“God, Corin,” he repeated in a tormented whisper.

His hands moved from my face to cup either side of my neck. Fingers pressed against my thumping, thumping pulse.

Electricity sparked. Blood rushed through my veins. I was dizzy and light-headed and overwhelmed.

I wished I could say something. But words were lost. None would have been good enough anyway.

Because this powerful, out-of-control moment was swallowing the both of us.

“Corin,” he whispered again, moving closer. Leaning down.

I could feel the heat of his mouth against my skin. Not quite touching.

My eyelids fluttered closed and I waited.

I gripped my hands at my sides. Scared to touch him. Hating myself because I wouldn’t.

I waited . . .

Slowly, ever so slowly, I felt it. His mouth on mine. It was warm and dry and everything it should be.

Perfect.
