AUTHOR NOTE
SNEAK PEAK
“It’s time for bed. Scoot over,” he demands.
I huff, sitting myself up. “No. This gun conversation isn’t over.”
His jaw clenches and I swallow. Clearly he’s not used to people refusing him. Which makes sense. He’s a fucking gangster—an escaped convict.
“Move. Over.” This time he stamps his fists into the bed, meeting me eye to eye.
“No,” I reply softly and much weaker than I intend. “I’m not sleeping next to you. I hardly even know you.”
Brandon gets so close now that I feel his breath on my eyelashes, heavily scented from my mint toothpaste he borrowed.
But even though my heart is beating a million times a minute, I add, “If you want me to scoot over, you’ll have to make me.”
He dons a smirk. “I thought you’d never ask, princess.”
As his hands catch me at the waist, I stifle the urge to scream.
