Story: Debt of My Soul

Chapter 51

Liam

F leur is beautiful and currently frazzled. She’s stunned into silence, but she could be mute and paralyzed and still be the most gorgeous woman.

“Liam?”

Her voice. I close my eyes and inhale at the sound.

I’m a man obsessed.

After I returned to Ruin, I took my grandfather’s advice to wait and give Fleur some space. But after a couple weeks, I was done waiting.

I missed her presence. Her in my stupid old hat. Her in my truck with the window down, the wind flicking her signature braid over her shoulder. I’ve longed to hear her laughter or listen to her snarky comments. To see her face redden when she’s embarrassed or frustrated, highlighting her freckled nose and cheeks.

But nothing compares to those piercing gray eyes that seem to see right through me, down to my very soul. I was hooked the first time she glared at me through her jeep window while I passed her on my bike.

Having Fleur in my life was my salvation, and there is no life without her.

Yep. There was no more waiting. I was going to get my wife.

I had no idea how she would take me being here. I still have no clue, but I know she belongs with me.
