Faking with the Fae King Quotes

“Severin’s eyes hold me mesmerized as he leans close.

Is he actually going to kiss me? Oh, no, no, no. I’m not ready. We haven’t practiced. Wait, what am I even thinking? Practice? I hiccup a flustered laugh. Practicing kissing Severin would mean a whole lot of actually kissing Severin. I already feel like I’m going to explode out of my skin—how would I ever survive that?

As he gets closer, my heart leaps, my body locked rigid as flames heat my cheeks. I want to moan in mortification. Ugh. I bet everyone can see I’m not used to his touch.

His lips brush the corner of my mouth. It’s the tiniest caress, but it sends a jolt of electricity shooting through me. The butterflies escape my stomach to fill my whole chest with fluttering as my heart races.

Fake, fake, fake, I chant to myself. This is all totally fake. You can’t forget and catch feelings for him. He’s simply a good actor.

As I meet Severin’s intense green eyes, the butterflies completely ignore me, doing loop-de-loops of joy.

Sh!t. I’m so totally screwed.”
