BE WITH ME Synopsis:
From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Wait for You
Do Teresa and Jase have a real shot at getting together or will life get in the way?
Teresa Hamilton is having a rough year—she's in love with her big brother's best friend, but he hasn't spoken to her since they shared a truly amazing, mind-blowing, life-changing kiss. Then she got out of a terrible relationship. Now an injury is threatening to end her dance career for good. It's time for plan B: college. And maybe she'll have a chance to convince Jase that what they have together is real.
Jase Winstead has a huge secret that he's not telling anyone—especially not his best friend's incredibly beautiful sister. Even though he and Teresa shared the hottest kiss of his life, he knows that his responsibilities must take priority. He certainly doesn't have time for a relationship. But it doesn't help that all he can think about is kissing the one girl who could ruin everything for him.
As they're thrown together more and more, Jase and Teresa can't keep denying their feelings for each other. But a familiar danger looms and tragedy strikes. As the campus recovers, the star-crossed couple must decide what they're willing to risk to be together and what they're willing to lose if they're not. . . .
EXCERPT:
“You got a visitor, Tess.” He rested his chin
atop my head, which caused my pulse to try
to outrun my heart. “Two of them to be exact.”
“Okay.”
There was a pause. “Are your eyes closed?”
“No.”
His chin slid off my head and then his chest
rumbled as he laughed. “Your eyes are
closed.” He laughed again. “Open them up.”
Cursing under my breath, I pried one eye open
and then jerked against him. His arm
tightened. “Oh wow …”
The black-and-white horse was the closest,
standing mere feet away from me. The brown
one wasn’t too far, shaking its head and
making soft snorts. My eyes were wide as they bounced
between the two creatures. “They’re not
carnivorous, right? Because at their size, they could eat
me.”
Jase laughed deeply as his hand shifted up,
resting in the center of my stomach, just
below my breasts. “Horses do not eat people,
you little idiot.”
I started, eyes narrowing. “There’s always a
first.”
The lips pulled back on the black-and-white
horse as if it was smirking at me.
“This
one right here? Mr. Friendly? Jack calls him Bubba One,” he said in a quiet,
calming voice. But air hitched in my throat
when his thumb moved in a slow circle over the thin
material of my tank top, hitting against the
wire in my bra. “And the brown one is Bubba Two.”
Mouth dry, I wetted my lips. “That’s good for
remembering names.”
He chuckled as his pinkie and forefinger
started to move up and down, reaching my belly
button and then sliding back up. It was almost
as if he was unaware of what he was doing, or the
electrifying response the tiny motions were
dragging out of me. “I think so too, but his real name
is Lightning.”
Said horse shook his head, tossing the shaggy
mane.
“Lightning seems to be a more suitable name,”
I admitted, relaxing as the seconds
passed. Maybe that was his intention. Distract
me with the soft, almost innocent touches. It was
working. “What about Bubba Two?
“Ah, the one who is staring at the pail like
it’s the holy mecca of grain?” His cheek
grazed mine as I laughed. “That’s Thunder. And
we’re going to feed them. Together.”
The friction his fingers created with my shirt
sent tiny shivers up and down my back.
“With our hands?”
His answering laugh tipped the corners of my
lips up. “Yes. With our hands.”
“After checking out the choppers on them, I’m
not so sure about that.”
“You’ll be okay.” He slid his hand off my
stomach and wrapped it around my wrist.
Slowly, he lifted my hand out in front of me.
“Hold still.”
My heart lurched. “Jase—”
Lightning trotted forward and pressed his wet
nose against my hand. I cringed, waiting
for him to eat my poor fingers. The horse
didn’t. Nope. It nudged my hand as it whinnied softly.
He guided my hand up over Lightning’s jaw, all
the way to the pointy, twitchy ears.
“See?” he murmured. “That’s not too bad, is
it?”
I shook my head as my fingers curled along the
soft coat. Lightning seemed to anticipate
the direction of the petting, pressing his
long head against my hand as my fingers tangled in his
mane. It wasn’t bad at all.
Jase shifted behind me, and in an instant all
thoughts of the horses evaporated. His hips
lined up against my backside, and I bit down
on my lower lip as I focused on the white splotch
covering Lightning’s muzzle.
I could feel him—feel Jase. And there was
absolutely no doubt in my mind that he was
affected by how close we were standing. That
knowledge and the hard length of him left me
dizzy, just like it had done that Saturday
night. An all too warm flush spread down my neck. In
the back of my head, I was rationalizing his
physical reaction. He was a guy. Our bodies were pressed
together. If a wind blew on a guy’s private
area, they got hard. So I should just ignore it,
but my body was so not on board with my head.
My body was operating on a different playing
field. An ache centered low in my stomach. A
sharp and sweet yearning raced through my veins.
“Not so scary, right?” His voice was deeper,
richer. “They’re like dogs. Well, like a dog
that can carry around two hundred pounds, if
not more.” Hand sliding off mine, he stepped back,
and the sudden emptiness of his body was like
a cold shock. “Trust me.”
Then he smacked my ass.
