DARE-TO-LOVE-TRUTH-AND-DARE-DUET-COLLECTION-by-Lylah-James-pdfarchive

I had gotten a glimpse of something so good, and I
didn’t want to lose it, lose her. I broke my rules for Lila
Garcia, and this wasn’t our ending. We were not an
incomplete story or a half-written page. We were the whole
goddamn book, and I needed her to see that.
I cupped her jaw, as I watched her say a million unsaid
words to me with her sad eyes. “I’ve put my whole fucking
heart in your hands, Lila.”
Her throat bobbed, and her pretty brown eyes turned
glassy. Her next words, her littlest whisper, was my
undoing. “You terrify me.”
My sweet Lila. If only you knew what you do to me.
“The feeling is mutual.” A soft confession, a gentle
promise.
I released her and quickly pulled my shirt over my head
and threw it on the floor. Lila licked her lips, and her
attention went to my bare torso, before her head snapped
up again. I could see her trying to fight me, having an
internal battle with herself.
She wanted me.
But she was scared of having me.
“We were perfect just the way we were before, Maddox.
I don’t want to lose that.”
I let out a chuckle at her weak attempt. “Yeah, Babe. It’s
a little too late. We stopped being just friends the moment
you let me all up in your pussy without a condom.”
Lila shot me a fierce glare, and I grinned harder. She
was so easy to tease. I gripped her shirt and started
pulling, but she smacked my hand away. “Maddox!”
I paused, watching her resolve grow weaker under my
gaze. I wasn’t going to forcibly undress her. A heavy feeling
wrapped around my chest, as I realized she could end this,
push me back and walk away.
Thud. Thud. Thud. “Do you want to walk away?” I asked,
as my voice hardened. “If that is really what you want, I’ll
let you go.”
