✨EXCERPT: DAISY WHISPERS by @mariejohnstonwriter coming May 6!
#PreOrderHere
“You may kiss the bride.” Johanna beamed.
This kiss only needed to be a chaste touching of lips. A symbol, like our rings. But a starving man couldn’t be plunked down in front of the best meal he’d ever had and be told only to sniff it.
I curved an arm around Daisy’s waist, and her eyes went wide.
“What are you—” She looked around. Lily’s eyes were saucers, and Eliot had judiciously dropped his gaze to the floor. Only the justice was watching us, indulgent smile on her face. We were supposed to be real.
Daisy’s gaze collided with mine. I silently asked permission. Holding her like this was reward enough. If she needed me to give her only a peck, I would.
She gave me a little nod.
Yes. I lowered my mouth to hers. Her warm lips were everything I had dreamed of. Everything might’ve changed between us. I was no longer a rebellious slacker who thought life owed him. I worked out regularly and wore nice clothes. I’d be the CEO of one of the biggest employers in the state. Daisy had a daughter. She’d lived a whole life since our divorce.
But this kiss? Just as sweet as I remembered. She met me with the perfect amount of pressure. I didn’t bear down on her, and I didn’t nudge my tongue against her lips to sweep inside. We had an audience, and I had a ton of trust to build between us.
I added just a little more pressure, desperate for more, then I pulled back. I could control my desires now. I was no longer an entitled kid.
Her eyelids fluttered open and heat simmered in their blue depths. She’d responded to my touch. And now she was my wife. Again.
