Excerpt:
Ezzie
pulled her Range Rover behind her dad’s vehicle. Beau parked right behind her
in his truck. He was at her door in an instant and held a hand to help her out
of the car.
Addelyn
was waiting for them in the open doorway, a huge smile on her face, and looking
perfectly put together in a lavender shirt-dress and black heels.
“Why,
Beau, you are getting so handsome. It’s been ages since we’ve had you over for
dinner. How’s your mama?”
Beau
smiled and kissed the cheek she offered him. “Thank you, Mrs. Lovegreen. You
are looking as lovely as ever. Mama is great. I’ll tell her you asked after
her.”
Addelyn
nodded and turned back into the house. “Let’s go eat. Dinner should be ready
right about now.”
“I
need to drop my stuff in my room. You can come, or go find my dad. I’m sure
he’s in his study.”
Beau
gave her a look. “I think I’ll go with you.”
Heat
bloomed in Ezzie's cheeks again. The look he had just given her was anything
but platonic. She smiled shyly and led him back to her room but stopped at the
door. He had never been in her room before. No boy ever had. This was new
territory for her. She shook herself mentally and stepped over the threshold
into her room.
Beau
stood in the doorway for a moment, looking around.
“You
can come in,” Ezzie said softly.
He
smiled and walked in, running his fingers across the surface of her desk.
“That
was my grandfather’s.”
He
nodded. “I remember seeing it in his study when we were kids.” Beau took a step
toward her. He bridged the gap between them with his hands, drawing her the
last few steps.
“Beau...”
Her heart pounded in her chest.
He
tipped her chin up and touched his lips to hers lightly. Ezzie lifted her hands
up and around his neck, pulling him closer to her. She pressed her lips more
firmly against his. She couldn't believe they were really having their first
kiss in her bedroom with her parents just down the hall. Beau’s fingers wove
into her hair. He finally pulled away a bit and laid his chin against her
forehead, his arms still around her.
“Just
so we’re clear, I want to be more than just your friend, Ezzie,” he whispered.
If
Beau hadn’t been holding her up, she would have fallen to the floor. “I want to
be more than your friend too, Beau,” she breathed.
