The Love List, page 7
A grin slowly spread across her face, ramping up her beauty from stunning to blinding.
“Anytime.”
“Shut up and kiss her,” a loud, deep voice boomed from in back of the bar. A voice that sounded suspiciously close to Maddox’s.
The crowd picked up the chant, and tilting her head back, Israel smiled down at her.
“I’m going to shut up and kiss you.”
“I’m going to shut up so you can.”
He brushed his thumbs over her cheeks. “Thank you for coming out on that porch and finding me. For leading me out of the darkness and giving me light again.”
“No, Israel, thank you for being on that porch when I needed a friend and a champion until I could champion myself.” She nuzzled his palm. “I love you.”
“I love you, too, Barbie.”
Then he shut up and kissed her.
