Page 4 of Kissing My Soulmate

“What do you do?” Lorelei takes a sip of her drink and then smiles at me.

Fuck, she’s so goddamn beautiful, I’m having a hard time concentrating. “Ahem…I’m a large animal vet, mostly horses.”

“I’ve never ridden a horse before.” She shrugs. “They’ve always made me nervous.”

I grab her hand, and she lets me. “No, baby. There is no reason to be scared.”

She’s quiet for a moment and then leans forward. “Can I say something, and I can almost guarantee you’re going to run away screaming?” Her face is very serious.

I’m intrigued enough to nod.

“You feel it don’t you?”

My heart starts to pound away in my chest. “Feel what?” I ask, even though I know what she’s talking about. Lorelei places her hand on my thigh.

“The spark, we have it. I’m not the only one feeling this, right?” She worries her lip, and I want to be the one biting it.

I grab her behind her neck and pull her toward me until our lips touch. Fuck yes, I feel it, all the way to my cock. She grabs the front of my shirt as our tongues begin to duel.

God, she can kiss, and I want more. “Do you want to get out of here?” I whisper against her lips.

“Yeah, I do.”

I help her stand and then lead her toward the house so we can say goodbye to our hosts, and get to my place as soon as possible.

Some of the older people are heading home today. Lorelei and I both decided to stay until tomorrow in silent support of Audrey. Although, we haven’t really seen her much. Hell, now that I think about it, we haven’t seen much of Liam either.

I’ve called Linc multiple times and left messages telling him what I thought about him not showing up. He’s a fucking coward—if he didn’t want to marry Audrey, he should’ve been man enough to tell her and call it off.

Lorelei is napping at the moment and I’m watching her from the doorway like a fucking creep, but I can’t stop myself. She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. From the moment I met her, I knew she was going to be mine.

I move toward the bed, even though I know it’s a bad idea. Reaching out, I stroke a hand over her hair. She sighs and snuggles farther into the blankets. “I love you,” Lie says softly and then rolls over. Her soft snores make me smile, even as pain lances through my body.

Standing, I head out into the little living room, which is where I’m sleep now.

Changing into my workout gear I head outside and begin to run. I run hard and fast, not stopping until my legs practically give out, and I’ve purged the anger from my body. I’m not angry at her, I’m just angry at this whole situation.

Once we get home, I’m moving out. We can’t keep living like this. It hurts too much. I think it’s time I find a lawyer and file for divorce. I need to let her go so she can find someone who will give her what she wants.

I just wish like hell I could be that man.

Chapter Three

Lorelei

One Month Later

I let myself inside and drop my bag by the door. “Meow.” My orange tabby, Bob Vance, greets me at the door. We adopted each other a week ago and we’ve hit it off wonderfully.

We are moving into our new apartment next week. Jasper wanted me to keep the house, even offering to help with the mortgage until I thought I could handle it on my own. I wanted to stay; I love this house. But I couldn’t see myself raising kids here if they didn’t belong to him.

It sold the second day on the market. That night I drank a bottle of pinot grigio. I also cried while watching videos of Jasper and me on my laptop. In every clip you can see how in love we are.

It’s sad to think that a year from now we’ll be divorced. Jasper moved out the week we got back from Florida. The pain I felt watching him pull out of the driveway was excruciating.

We’ve only talked a few times. We saw each other when the realtor came, and it was awkward and weird. Of course, the agent flirted shamelessly with him. He didn’t stop her and it was a knife to my gut.
