TEASER FROM WEST'S POV
“Okay. All right. This can be managed.
It can. I can manage this,” says Haley. “This is entirely under my control. I
can own this situation.”
“I don’t need to be managed.”
Haley tosses me an are-you-for-real gaze
and her hair tumbles over her shoulder. It’s shiny and I bet if I ran my
fingers through it, the strands would feel like silk. I like hair like that. I
like kissing girls who have hair like that. My eyes flash to her lips and the
memory of her stepping into me on Friday night sizzles in my mind: the walking,
talking inferno. Kissing Haley would be a thrill ride experience.
“West?” Haley motions near her eyes.
“Attention here, please?”
“I wasn’t checking out your curves.”
Though now that it’s mentioned…
“Go there and I swear to God you’ll have
to check ‘other’ when asked if you’re male or female.”
I chuckle and rest my palm against the
cool cinder block wall, crowding her. Haley shifts and practically shrinks into
the corner. She’s shorter than me, but not by much. I’d say she was afraid, but
the way she studies my biceps tells me differently.
“Haley?” She refocuses on my face. “Eyes
up here please.”
Gaped. Open. Mouth. “Okay, look. Me and
you. We’ve got problems.”
I agree. She wants to kiss me. I want
her body underneath mine. Nothing a dark room and a bed couldn’t solve. “What
are you doing after school?”
“What? No. Don’t tell me. I don’t care.
Back to problems. Those guys that jumped us on Friday?”
My hand slips off the wall and I
straighten. “Yeah?”
“They go to school here and I’m not exactly their
best friend.”
GIVEAWAY:
Book Blitz Organized by:
My favorite character is Isaiah ^.^ He's had so much crap to deal with in his life and he's still standing. That takes guts and determination. He's the strongest of Katie's characters in my opinion
ReplyDeleteI only read book 1 and 2, but I do like Isaiah from Dare You To. I felt bad that he and Beth didn't end up together at first, but then realized that he had his own story to tell so... Was pretty happy about that. :)
DeleteI liked Ryan though. He was my favorite. :)
I actually got to meet Katie at a book signing last week and was able to get all my books signed. She's so very sweet! She even agreed to do a Q+A for my blog. I can't wait for Breaking the a Rules come December! :D
ReplyDeleteI followed! Comment/follow back?
