Lex (Unexpected, #5)

by Cora Rose

William leans toward me, whispering in my ear, “I love your tendencies.”

“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.”

“I fucking love you,” I blurt loudly, and William’s eyebrows shoot up, obviously surprised at my brash and random declaration in the midst of half-packed boxes. “Oh yeah?” “Of course I do. I don’t take this lightly. I’ve loved like a handful of people in my life, but I’ve never felt this way about another person.”

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