![]() Going All In
-- EXCERPT: Lena thought it time to spill the despicable secret. Her lips parted, but no words came out as fear clutched her heart. She winced at her cowardice. “What is it?” Trevor asked, features turning sympathetic. “You can tell me, whatever it is.” “I don’t know how.” She forced a smile. “Just say it.” “I was thinking I like you. A lot.” She sighed, nervously fluffing her long blonde hair. “And I don’t want to scare you off.” “How would you scare me off?” His stare became intense, gaze never wavering from her face. She took a deep breath, bolstering courage. “I’m not normal. Not like everyone else.” His grin was filled with indulgence, making him more handsome than before. “If I wanted normal, I would have asked normal out. Instead, I asked you.” “But you don’t really know me. I’m different.” “I’m different too, if you haven’t noticed?” She had. All throughout dinner and dessert, he’d not looked at any other woman in the room, not even the waitress when ordering. His mesmerizing gaze had remained on her. “I need certain things. Things normal women don’t want.” She looked down at her hands in her lap, not believing she was going all in this soon. “Tell me,” he insisted. “I won’t judge. Whatever it is.”
