Lex (Unexpected, #5)

by Cora Rose

“Everyone has emergencies, but you have to remember that an emergency on your part does not constitute one on mine.”

He won’t be kissing anyone else but me. His mouth is mine. His whole body is mine. I didn’t have parents and I never learned how to share.

“Do you have any other family?” he asks. “No. All I have is Emery and Brenda. And that’s all I need.” William sighs against me, his breath tickling my skin. “And me,” he whispers. Why, yes, it seems that I do.

“Lexington, I don’t see anyone else when you’re around.” “Oh, fuck off.” “I’m serious. Why do you think I’ve never…done anything with anyone before?” His foot eases off the gas pedal and he quickly eyes me. “I wasn’t interested in anything like that until I saw you.”

“We have each other,” he chants over and over and when I finally calm down, Lex is the only thing I can see. “Don’t leave me,” I whisper. “Never.”

“I love you, Lexington. I know I don’t say a lot, and voicing my feelings is not something I’m particularly used to. But I promise I’ll work on saying it as often as you need. Just know that even when I don’t say it, I feel it. All the time, every day.”

“More like a creepy necromancer. I guarantee you that man is older than he looks. He probably brought himself back from the dead,” I utter as we approach the lawyer’s desk.

honestly, I’ve never been happier. I’ve finally found my person, my home, and I’m never letting go. He’s stuck with me now.
