Cade Henson was ready for a change. After high school, he’d agreed to be a bouncer for his sister’s club, not a dancer. Yet over the course of a year, he’d watched his own life slowly spiral out of control. Until the night he decided it was time to risk it all.
Rynn Lewis was eighteen and pregnant, on the run from her ex-boyfriend, when
Cade found her on the streets of Minneapolis. She taught him about friendship
and family. She kept him honest and he promised to keep her safe.
He lied.
Excerpt:
Rynn leaned
forward to pull down the visor mirror and promptly did a double-take.
“God, Cade, I look like crap! Why didn’t you tell me I had raccoon eyes?”
she demanded, using her fingers to scrub at the black smudges beneath her eyes.
“Because I
like my head where it is?” he suggested. “Didn’t seem like the right time to
point out that you puked so hard your mascara started to run.”
She sighed
and let her fingers drop to her lap. “Yeah, this ain’t gonna do it. Do we have
tissues or anything?”
“There might
be some napkins in the glove box.”
She rummaged
around the overstuffed glove box until she came up with a single, crumpled
napkin. “Are you done with that?” she asked, already reaching for Cade’s soda.
“Knock
yourself out. It’s mostly melted ice now.” He watched, amused, as she dipped
the edge of the napkin into the cup. “You know we’re like twenty feet from a
bathroom, right?”
Rynn looked
borderline scandalized. “I can’t go inside like this.”
Right. Of
course. Cade shook his head. Women. “Give me that. You’re doing it
all wrong,” he said after a couple of minutes, when she’d only managed to smear
the makeup worse than it had been. He wet half the napkin liberally, ran it
under her left eye until a few drops of water dripped down her pale cheek, then
used the dry half of the napkin to remove both water and mascara.
Rynn went
utterly still at his touch. She sat up straight in the seat, gaze fixed on some
point beyond his shoulder. Her skin was cool beneath his hands. Cool and smooth
and pale. She’d lost her Alabama tan months ago. He kept his touch light, one
hand on her jaw to turn her face as he repeated the process with her other eye.
She sucked in a breath when he leaned closer. And he wondered if maybe, just
maybe, she wasn’t completely unaffected by him after all. If he kissed her,
would she let him?
He dried her
face, imagining he was drying her tears and finding the thought strangely
appealing. His thumb traced the outline of her jaw, and she jolted. Her eyes
flew to his, wide and fathomless. He could lose himself in those eyes. Her lips
parted, and his gaze zeroed in on her mouth.
“I’m sorry I
smell like vomit,” she blurted.
The napkin
was crushed in his hand. “Wow, okay. That’s, ah … you’re fine, Rynn. It’s
fine.”
She bit her
lip and turned her head to stare out the passenger side window. Cade watched
her, wondering what he was even supposed to say to that, cursing himself for
spooking her.
“Did you get
it all?” she finally asked.
“It’s gone,”
he replied quietly.
She checked
her reflection in the visor again and nodded. “Like it never happened.” Her
laugh sounded forced. “Where did you learn to do that? Did you have to wear
makeup at the club? Eyeliner, goth guy stuff,” she added quickly at his look.
“No. It’s a
trick I’ve seen my sister do a thousand times.” And strippers. Lots and lots of
strippers, when the stage lighting had made their heavy makeup run between
sets. Not that he would tell her that. There was a lot of shit he wouldn’t tell
her. Too much. And suddenly, he felt like an idiot for thinking he had any
right to kiss her a moment ago.
