Snippet Saturday: Love Type Speech

Morning Loverlies,

Yes, it's that time again! Snippet Saturday! Which is hosted by the absolutely and totally kick ass Lauren Dane. Today's theme is the "Love Type Speech" and of course the excerpt I've chosen for today is from my most recent release, Reign of Pleasure.

Reign of Pleasure can be found at Elloracave.com, and if you're interested in reading another excerpt you can find two here and/or here. Enjoy! And make sure to stop by and visit the other Saturday Snippet Authors.

I shook my head, denying his right to call me by the pet name and the hope it gave me. "Please. Please don't do this to me. Don't play with my affections."

He brushed the moisture off my cheek, dropped to his knees in front of me, wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed his cheek against my stomach. "All I've ever wanted to be is yours."

The last sentence was so soft, I thought I had to be mistaken.

"I let you go because…"

I finished the sentence for him. "You love me." He stood and I flung myself at him. I didn't mind he hadn't said the words himself or aloud. Just the admission from him was enough. I knew how much it cost him and how vulnerable he was allowing himself to be. He couldn't have left himself more open if he had bared his neck and pressed a knife into my hand.

He caught me, his arms stiff as if he didn't know what to do. "I love you." I pressed a kiss against his mouth. "I love you," I said again, pressing another kiss to his nose. "I love you. I love you. I love you."

Well, I hope you enjoyed this week's Saturday Snippet! You can read more Snippets below.
