Tease (Cloverleigh Farms, #8)

by Melanie Harlow

And my heart still did that strange quickening thing when she got close to me, the thing that tied my tongue and heated my insides and put troubling questions in my head, like, What would it be like to kiss her? What would she do if I took her hand? Should I tell her I want to be more than friends?

(It wasn’t all that surprising to me, since I’d done extensive online research on how to please a woman. I was excellent at research.)

And even though I won’t ask for what I want, I won’t settle for less than I deserve.”

“Felicity MacAllister, I’ve loved you longer than you know, and there will never be another human on this earth that matters more to me. I may not have magic powers, but you understand me, you accept me, you make me happy. I know this is probably a shock to you, and if you don’t want to say yes today, that’s okay too, but you are the only one for me, today and always.”
