Blake didn’t move. Didn’t even breathe right for a second.

Because God, how could he, when Willa was curled over his chest like a living crown and an unapologetic threat to his sanity? When her...

Blake’s chest was still shaking with the tail end of that laugh—deep, ruined, full-body—when he curled one arm tighter around her back and let the other tangle in her hair. He didn’t speak right...

Blake could barely keep his eyes open.

Not because he was tired—God, not even close—but because she was too much and not enough all at once. The way she moved above him, slow and devastating, like...

Blake didn’t stand a chance.

From the moment Willa pushed him back—eyes dark, movements slow, like she was orchestrating the fall of empires—he was gone. Every thought he might’ve had scattered...

The second her weight settled into his lap, Blake knew he was gone.

Not stage-gone. Not spotlight-gone. Not even the kind of gone he got when the music hit just right and the crowd moved like a...

Blake was already gone for her.

Fully. Completely. No seatbelt, no hesitation.

The second she kissed him like that—wild and messy and stamped with every sharp-edged truth they’d never been able...

Blake couldn’t breathe.

Or maybe he could, but it was all Willa—filling his lungs, stealing his balance, short-circuiting every logical part of his brain with that beam of hers. Not a smile. Not a...

Blake couldn’t stop smiling.

Not the cocky, stage-stealing grin he wore like armor most nights. No—this one was something else. Softer. Sloppier. Like his whole damn soul was grinning and his body...

Blake was done for.

Absolutely, unapologetically ruined in the best goddamn way.

Blake’s lungs were burning.

From the run. From the stage lights. From the goddamn miracle that had just happened off-stage like some fever dream he barely had the words to name.

But mostly?

Blake had never been good at waiting.

Not when it came to her.

Blake didn’t say anything at first.

Just stared at her with that stupid, soul-punched grin still tugging at the corners of his mouth like he couldn’t quite believe she was real.

Blake blinked once. Then twice.

And just like that—she’d done it again.

Wrecked him in reverse.

There she was: stormlight and nerve, smelling faintly of lavender and trouble, sitting next to...
