Forever Blake (Once Upon a Player Book 3) by Elena Matthews (free books to read .TXT) 📗

I thought you were going to propose.” She lets out a nervous giggle, wiping away at her wet cheeks.

“Sorry, baby. Just your run-of-the-mill move-in-with-me proposal.” I grin. “So, will you?”

She nods her head. “Yes, I will move to Boston with you.”

She flings herself at me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders as she slams a kiss on my lips. I lift myself to both knees, bringing her tighter into me as I lose myself in her perfect mouth.

God, I missed her lips.

A second later, she pulls back, gazing at me with her pretty blues.

“I’m still angry with you,” she confesses, and I nod.

“I know. I’m angry with me, too.”

“However, I do forgive you for being a complete and utter douche bag.” She grins, brushing her hands through my hair.

“I can’t promise it won't happen again, but I will promise to spend the rest of our lives making it up to you for all the times I will be a douche bag.”

“With lattes?”

“What else?” I say with a chuckle, nuzzling my nose with hers.

“God, I love you,” she says with a sigh, looking at me with nothing but adoration.

I hope she always looks at me like that. If she does, I will be the happiest man on this earth.

“I love you, too.” I squeeze her close to me, never wanting distance between us ever again.

“Forever, Blake?”

“Forever, baby.”

Acknowledgments

Firstly, I want to thank my future hubby, Mark. Thanks to this past year, we still haven’t gotten married, but I can’t wait to continue my journey of being a writer with you by my side as my husband, for always.

Thank you to my mum and the rest of my family. Your support means the world to me. I don’t know what I would do without your love.

Also, a huge thank you to my friends. You often get neglected for my fictional characters, but you never complain, and for that, I love you.

Thanks to my dipshit, Sammy Lomax. I love you. You are my biggest fan. You’re on my back when I need to get shit done, yet you constantly cheer me on, helping me, guiding me, and more importantly, being an incredible friend.

I want to thank my editor, Jovana Shirley, for being amazing. Writing and using my imagination to write angsty romance comes easy to me … the editing though, not so much. So, thank you for helping my words reach their full potential with your incredible editing ability.

Thank you to my cover designer, Najla Qamber. You are one of my favorite people to work with. Not only are you sweet, but you also make my life so much easier with your work ethic and your amazing designs.

A massive thank-you to both Claire and Wendy from Bare Naked Words for promoting the hell out of Forever Blake and handling the ARCs.

Thanks to the bloggers who promoted and reviewed Forever Blake. Life as an author would be tough without your support, so thank you!

Finally, a huge thank-you to my readers. It wouldn’t be possible to do what I do without you, so thank you for being incredible. I love you guys.

Until next time …

Love and xoxo,

Elena
