Page 112 of Such a Good Girl

Most importantly, she looked like the woman I’d fallen in love with.

All of my fears melted away and my lips crashed into hers. I wrapped my arms around her and quickly pulled her body close to mine.

She whimpered as I kissed her, her body going limp as she wrapped her arms around me. We melted into each other, our kiss deepening until we were lost in the emotion, the passion, swimming in the delicious space that only existed when we were connected so intimately.

I tore my lips from hers, the words falling quickly from my lips.

“I love you, Kaylee. I don’t care about anything that happened. I haven’t been able to stop thinking of you. I’m sorry I was so harsh at the cabin. I should have heard you out, given you time to explain yourself. I was so shocked and hurt and I reacted too quickly.”

“I know. It’s okay,” she whispered, smiling through her tears.

“You deserved better.”

“So did you,” she said, beaming up at me. “And West?”

“Yes?”

“I love you, too.”

My heart soared at her words. I kissed her again, the love flowing passionately between us, her arms wrapping tightly around my neck.

“I’m never going to let you go, Kaylee,” I said, breaking away again. “You’re mine now, do you understand?”

“Yes, West,” she whispered up at me. “I’m yours. All yours.”

“That’s right,” I said. “And I’m all yours, too, Kaylee, if you’ll have me.”

“Oh, West —.”

The door behind us burst open and we jumped apart.

“I don’t fucking think so!”

Joey stood there, shaking his head, his eyes wild.

“Joey, what the fuck?”

He rushed over, grabbed my wrist, and pulled me to my desk. Confused, I went to pull away.

But he already had a pair of handcuffs out and quickly cuffed me to the handle of my desk.

“Joey!” I shouted.

Kaylee stepped forward. “Hey!” She grabbed Joey’s arm just as he pulled a gun out of his jacket and pointed at her. She threw her hands up and stepped back.

“Joey, what the fuck are you doing?” I shouted, pulling at the handle of my desk drawer. It pulled out a little but wouldn’t come out completely, leaving me stuck in place.

“Back up, bitch!” Joey said to Kaylee, ignoring me.

“I’m going tofuckingkill you, Joey!” I roared. “Let me fucking go!”

He glanced back over his shoulder at me quickly. “I’m sorry, West, but this is for the best.”

He turned back to Kaylee, pointing the gun towards the door. “Move!”

She hesitated, looking over at me, her eyes wide with fear.

“Move!” Joey said, moving next to her and digging the gun into her side.
