Drive Me Crazy Excerpt
Warm lips kiss down my neck when I finally snap out of the stupefied trance I’m in. I move quickly, stepping away from the counter to put some space between us. It takes a second to find my voice. A million thoughts are running through my head, the most obvious being what the hell just happened.
“Blake,” I breathe out. “What are we doing?”
“Exactly what we should be doing.”
He steps forward to continue where we left off, but I gently push him back. The full impact of his hungry stare is almost enough to let him keep kissing me, but I stand my ground. I need to stop this before it goes too far. The tension in the air is
so thick, it may suffocate us both.
“Seriously. What’s going on?”
My hand motions to the scene around us. The straps of my sundress hang off my shoulders and Blake’s shirt is halfway unbuttoned. Our lips are both swollen and red. He looks as mystified as I feel. His normally messy hair is on a new level,
sticking out funny. I swallow back the lump in my throat as myeyes fall down to his lips—why do I want to feel them against
mine again so desperately?
“We’re obviously attracted to one another. You can’t pretend we don’t have insane chemistry. I’ve been thinking about kissing you again since Spain, so why deny what we both so clearly want?”
He runs his thumb over my bottom lip, pulling it down.Those dumb teddy-bear brown eyes of his are soft and I know
what he’s trying to do, but it won’t work. It can’t. I turn my head away, forcing his hand to fall back to his side.
“Because maybe I want more than just that.”
Right as the words leave my mouth, I want to pull them right back in and then swallow them so deep that they never
see the light of day. The look on Blake’s face is so painstakingly tormented and panicked that I know his answer without having to hear it. I’ve not only committed the worst sin of all, but I’ve also said it out loud. I knew falling for Blake was a bad idea long before he ever kissed me, but that doesn’t make the rejection any less painful.
