On One Condition (S.I.N. #2)

by K. Bromberg

I blow a kiss in his direction and know that I’ll always think of him like this. My moonlight boy who said he’d love me forever.

“This isn’t over, Asher. Not by a long shot. I’m not a patient man, but I’ve waited fifteen years to kiss you again . . . what’s a few more days?”

“A way to a woman’s heart is through her books. That’s for darn sure.”

Obviously

Asher doesn’t need fixing, Ledger. She just needs someone to hold her hand if she fails, to celebrate her when she succeeds, and to listen when she speaks. There’s so much more said in silence than in a room full of people talking.”

“I once told you that only one girl has ever broken my heart before. That was you, Asher. And I swear to fucking God, I think you’re breaking it again.” He puts my face in his hands and presses the gentlest of kisses on my lips. “I love you, Asher Wells. I think I always have.”

“On one condition,” I murmur. He leans back, his eyes dancing with amusement. “What’s that?” “That you’ll love me forever.”
