Rebuilding Stone (The Stone Brother Series Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
I know this look because I wear it often. It’s one of shame. I make the connection now. Where I shut men out to keep them from seeing me, he became a nameless man to many women. Not getting close but feeling wanted. This is probably a mistake, but I need to do this. I wrap my arms around him. It’s an act of forgiveness. At first, he doesn’t return the hug, but after he realizes I’m not backing off, he engulfs me in a bear hug. I feel his arms hold me tightly. He smells intoxicating. He nuzzles his head into my neck, and I can feel his warm breath on my skin as he quietly speaks. “I love you, Kerrigan.” “I’m sorry, Maddox,” I say, backing away from him. “I’m not even close to being ready for a relationship.” “Don’t be. What you just gave me is more than I’ve been given my entire life.” His lips graze my neck when he says this. It stirs something in me that I haven’t felt in a long time. “I hope you don’t give up on me, Maddox. I’m not ready, but I want to be.”
