Say You Swear (Boys of Avix, #1)

by Meagan Brandy

“Seriously, enjoy your night. You don’t have to babysit me. Cameron and the others are around here somewhere; I’ll be fine. I won’t roam around alone if that’s what you’re worried about.” Noah’s stance widens a bit, and his tongue comes out, rolling along his lips. “I’m gonna lay this out for you, so pay attention because I need you to hear me.” His response is instant and strong, and he steps closer, holding my eyes hostage. “I don’t want you to think Paige is here with me tonight. She’s not, but she is my friend, and I need to make sure she makes it home safely. I don’t want you to stay here because I’m thinking you came here for me tonight, and if I’m completely honest with you right now, I don’t want to share you with the person who I’m damn sure has just realized that. So, if you came for me, come with me.” He pauses, but only for a second. “Because I was on my way to you just the same.” Noah takes a deep breath, nodding to himself. “I’m coming off a loss today. Make my night feel like a win. Come with, Juliet.” “Okay.” He scowls, his head tipping slightly as if he’s surprised. “Okay?” “Yeah… okay.” Noah chuckles, subconsciously rubbing at the back of his head. “That was easier than I thought.”
