EXCERPT

“May I have this dance?” I heard from behind as I felt a hand placed on my shoulder. I turned to see Michael and was a bit surprised to see that he was directing the question to Ryan and not me. Ryan nodded his consent and his mother Rosemary stepped in to dance with him while I took Michael’s hand.
“So Ms. Yankee, how are you liking the Midwest?” I placed my hand on Michaels shoulder; meeting his eyes, I couldn’t control the satisfied smile.
“It’s been a great trip.” I said, looking up into Michael’s big blue eyes and remembering the past two weeks.
I watched his face change from cheerful to serious. “Hey listen about the other night, I’m sorry. I completely forgot that she was with us.”
I shook my head to stop him from the unnecessary apology. “It really is ok, Ryan and I are just friends.”
“Pfft… Friends, friends my ass. There’s no way that Ryan looks at his friends the way he looks at you. There’s no way he would scour every possible place looking for someone who was just a friend.”
I didn’t know what to say and was grateful when it seemed like Michael sensed that I want to know more. “I have known Ryan since we were kids and though he hasn’t said it outright to anyone, we all know that he’s head over heels in love with you. He changed his life after Las Vegas.”
“What do you mean changed his life after Vegas?” I questioned looking up at Michael searching in his eyes for answers.
“Not my story to tell Alani, but I’ve known him since I was kid, that man loves you.”
I stopped dancing and looked back at Ryan as he stepped side to side with his mother occasionally twirling her. Love? I looked back at Michael “I don’t want someone to sweep me off my feet if he isn’t going to be there to catch me when I fall. We live two different lives.” Fear of losing Ryan crawled into my heart.
“I don’t know you Alani, but I do know love when I see it. You can deny it all you want but you love him just as much as he loves you. Neither one of you may want to admit it, but anyone standing in the same room with you two can feel it.”

TEASER

I swallowed hard. His words were turning me on. He kissed my cheek and chuckled again, a rich, deep sound. “I’m only kidding Bug, I would never take advantage of you. I’d want you fully coherent so you could remember everything I do to you.”
His hand remained on my cheek and his thumb stroked it back and forth. “I’m not mad, that was the most fun I’ve had in a long time.” His eyes continued to stare deeply into mine, his hand stoking my face, both lost in the moment. I bit the side of my lower lip as his thumb came down across it. My hearts was pounding in my chest.
