September Doves (Jackals and Vipers Duet #1)

“You heard me.” He leans in closer, his lips brushing against my ear. “I haven’t stopped thinking about you since that night at the rest stop. All that strength. All that fire. Your brazen, idiotic disregard for your own safety when you risked pissing off a dangerous stranger because you thought someone was in trouble and needed your help. I thought I could ignore this feeling. I thought I could ignore you. But I can’t.”

Colton brings our foreheads back together and laughs. “You are the best thing that ever happened to me, you know that?”

You’re fucking perfect, and I don’t deserve you. And of course, I love you. I’m in love with you. Have been for a while, I think.” He wipes away my tears with his thumbs. “I love you, too,” I breathe out.
