About HER DESTINY:
I knew from the moment I first saw him he was the one. The only boy I could ever want.
The only boy I could ever love.
They say he’s bad for me.
But I know he’s not.
Until the day he rejects me.
And breaks my heart.
Everything changes in the blink of an eye. My entire life as I’ve known it is…gone. Secrets are revealed. Promises once made are irrevocably broken. There’s no way my family can get back to what we once were.
So when Nicholas Fairfield walks back into my life like he never left it, I’m furious. Thrilled. Irritated. Excited.
Despite my confusion, I want to be with him. I love him. But danger lurks where we least expect it. Someone will do whatever it takes to tear us apart. All I know is: I won’t let them.
Because Nick Fairfield? He’s mine.
“You sure Evan doesn’t mind me being here?”
“He probably hates that you’re staying the night, but he’ll
get over it.” I take a step toward him and pat him on the shoulder, marveling
at the solid feel of muscle beneath my palm, beneath the thick fabric of his
sweatshirt. Has he gotten taller since the last time I saw him? Broader? He’s
so big, standing next to him makes me feel small. “Do you need anything else?”
I remove my hand from his shoulder, wishing I could touch him more.
“Nah. I’m gonna change, brush my teeth and go to sleep.” He
smiles, looking cute, like a little boy and my heart flutters. When he reaches
for the hem of his sweatshirt I step away, watch in silent fascination as he
pulls the fabric over his head, taking the T-shirt he’s wearing beneath it
upward so I catch a glimpse of his flat, perfect stomach, the little trail of
dark hair that starts just under his navel.
I’m breathless, my skin is tingling and when he tosses the
sweatshirt onto the couch, I start to walk backwards. “Okay well, good night.”
I need to get away from him before I do something really stupid.
Like jump him.
“Night, Reverie,” he calls after me as I hurry to my
bedroom. Glancing over my shoulder, I find him watching me with that
penetrating, thoughtful gaze and I turn away, practically tripping over my feet
in the hall. I rush into my room, shutting the door quietly before I slump
against it, closing my eyes and pressing my forehead against the rough wood.
My feelings for him haven’t stopped. I still want him. I’m
still in love with him. So why am I denying myself from being with him? Because
I’ve changed and I’m worried he won’t accept me for who I really am? And
because my life is so crazy the last thing I need is another complication to
muck it all up?
Valid reasons, but why would I deprive myself from being
with him? He’s the only one who understood me. Who listened to me. Who cared
about me.
I think he still does.
Cracking open my eyes, I push away from the doorway and shut
off the light before I crawl into bed. I lay there in the dark, listening to
him move about inside the bathroom, which is right next to my bedroom. He
finishes brushing his teeth before he exits the room and I swear I can feel him
standing on the other side of my closed door, waiting. Listening for any sign
of life coming from within.
I can’t move. I’m frozen, holding my breath, waiting for him
to knock on the door, to turn the knob, anything to show that he wants to see
me. I want him to both respect my brother’s wishes and defy them. I want him
overcome with need yet cautious. I want…everything.
All of him.
Disappointment crashes through me when I realize he is
definitely obeying Evan’s wishes. He doesn’t sneak into my room, doesn’t
attempt to talk to me, nothing. I should be happy. Pleased that he doesn’t want
to upset anyone.
Instead, I’m sad.
Rolling over on my side, I punch the pillow beneath my head
and settle in for the night, willing myself to fall asleep. I get to spend
pretty much the entire weekend with him. Maybe we can work it out then since
we’ll have plenty of time. But for now I’ll have to settle for Nick visiting
me…
Only in my dreams.
