@authord.anna: Carter watches me for a few seconds, as if he’s trying to think of something interesting enough to keep me distracted. “Well, let’s see… my favorite color is purple.” I open my eyes and stare at him, unable to believe the audacity of this idiot. “That’s not interesting, Grant! And it definitely isn’t distracting me from death!” He lets out a laugh, clearly pleased with himself. “Oh, and I once had a dog named—” “Carter!” My interruption earns another laugh from him, and I shake my head, completely exhausted from being his entertainment. “You’re not helping.” “I’m trying.” “You’re doing a terrible job.” ✨ There’s no point. If it were up to Carter, I’d die of old age in this cabin while he told me useless trivia about his own life. I slowly let out a breath and lean back against the seat again. Apparently, I’m going to have to deal with my pathetic fear of heights on my own. I grip the metal bar in front of me and close my eyes, resting my head against the cold side of the cabin. For a few seconds, all I hear is the wind and the uneven creaking of the structure. “Bishop?” Carter’s voice sounds different this time. “Don’t tell me you’re going to pass out.” I keep my eyes closed. “Summer, this isn’t funny.” But before I can calm down, I feel his touch. I open my eyes on instinct and see Carter’s hand covering mine. Then I feel him move closer. “Your kiss…” ✨ His voice comes dangerously close to my face, barely more than a whisper. I hold my breath. “It was my first.” ✨ For a second, I completely forget where I am. I turn my head slowly and find Carter much closer than he should be. “That’s… interesting.” ✨ My voice comes out low, almost breathless. A small smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. “Is it?” I nod almost imperceptibly. Only then do I notice the blush creeping across his face. Is this idiot actually embarrassed? His eyes drop to my mouth, and the tiny smile disappears before it can even fully form. “And looking at your mouth right now…” His eyes meet mine again. “I’m wondering what it would be like to do it again.” ✨ The book's title is “My Best Exception” by D. Anna! It’s available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! 💗 #romancereads #RomanceBooks #romancerecs #booktokrecommendations
