City of Sin (Men of Manhattan, #1)

by Ivy Smoak

"You don't know me." "I'd like to."

"You didn't let me finish before, Bee. I want to give you a reason to stay in New York. I want to be the reason why you stay."

Maybe this was more than I was letting myself believe. Maybe this was what I really wanted. And not just the tight feeling in my chest. Her. I wanted her. And I didn't want to just sleep with her. I wanted this.

I felt like I had been standing still ever since I had given the ring back to Patrick. Mason made me feel like moving again.

"I think until life gives you something right, it's hard to realize how wrong you've been."

There was nothing wrong with my life. But Bee did make it better. It had been a long time since I had something to look forward to.

I put my hands on his chest. "I don't know how to be casual. If we're going to do this, I want to be exclusive. I know you don't do relationships but..." "We already are, Bee."

I laughed. "Mason, I was always going to come back. You're home to me."
