Hard Edge:
"Out of tragedy comes beauty. Tess Oliver has taken blank pages and created a masterpiece." ~Vine Voice Reviewer
He was more than my best friend’s brother—he was the boy who’d captured my teenage heart. Now, I was that teenage girl again, hopelessly in love with the boy across the street and nearly dizzy with the notion of standing in his arms. Only this time was different. This time he held me back, as if he wasn’t ready to let me go easily.
~*Excerpt*~
I leaned back against the headboard again and took hold of his hand. I brought it to my mouth and kissed his knuckles. "I always figured you just tolerated me because I was with Grady all of the time." I looked over at him. "How come you never told me how you felt?"
His profile looked even more handsome in the shadows of the room. "There were a lot of reasons, but mostly because of Grady."
I nodded as if I understood, but there were a lot of ways to interpret his answer. "If Grady did like me, in that way, he sure never let on." My voice trembled as it always did when I started thinking too hard about Grady. "I think you might have been confusing our closeness for love."
"I don't think so."
I leaned my head against his arm. He squeezed my hand in his.
"I knew you were destined for far better than me, Trinket. I would have been in your way."
"That's not true. I spent half my teenage years dreaming about being that girl, the girl who would finally steal the most elusive heart in town. You wouldn't have been in my way. You would have been right there next to me." Without a moment's hesitation, I tossed off the sheet, climbed onto his lap and rested my head against his shoulder. Tears burned my eyes. "I loved Grady. He was my best friend. He made me laugh and cry and do stupid things and understand how important it was to have a best friend. But you were the guy who made my head spin and my knees wobble. I loved you both, but in very different ways. But when it came to you, I had to keep my feelings tucked away." A sad laugh fell from my mouth. "Although, much to my chagrin, my parents knew." I lifted my head and trailed my fingers along the side of his face to push his hair back. "Apparently I used to sit at the kitchen table and watch for you to walk by." I kissed him lightly on the mouth. "You were always dragging back and forth between houses with your backpack in tow. You always looked about as angry as you were sad that you had to split your life in two. Starry eyed dreamer that I was, I always thought if I had Caden Stratton, I wouldn't share him with anyone. I'd keep him all to myself."
"That sounds like a much better deal than I had from my parents. And, conveniently enough, if there's one person who owns me, heart and soul—"
He kissed me as he lifted me off his lap and lowered me onto the bed. His mouth traveled down my neck and shoulders...
