Wet (Westbrook Elite, #1)

by Cambria Hebert

Wariness crept in… but before it could take hold, he whispered. “You gonna let me kiss you?” He was asking for permission. My lips curled in on themselves. Disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he started to pull back. Panicked, I grabbed the hand holding my waist. “Yes.”

“Hold my hand, Carrot.” Her slim fingers slid into mine, and I tugged her right into my side. I’d never thought about being a one-woman man. But now I couldn’t imagine being any other way.

“Baby, were you having a nightmare?” When she said nothing, I glanced down. “Maybe. But when I woke up, you were there, so it was okay.”

Instead, all I said was, “Go home, Ryan.” “What if home is you?”

I love you.” I didn’t just hear the words. I felt them. I felt them so deep I wondered how I ever questioned him at all.
