EXCERPT: PINCH HITTER by @authorstephanierose releasing April 30th!#PreOrderHere
I blinked my eyes open to a blank screen. Turning my head, the first thing I could make out was the white sleeve of Lee’s shirt. When I swiveled the other way, my cheek grazed the same cotton material stretching over his chest. I’d dozed off and somehow landed on Lee, snoozing next to me, his arm gripping my waist.
How did we end up like this? I shifted to sit up, but Lee tightened his arm around me, drawing me closer as he leaned his chin against my temple.
“Sleep, baby,” he said in a raspy whisper.
Oh God, he thought I was Katie—or possibly someone he’d slept with after her. Pondering either option turned my stomach.
The right thing to do was shake him awake, but I stilled instead. Of all the times I’d thought of what it would be like to wake up with Lee, this would be the closest I’d get to the real thing, even if he was dreaming of someone else.
Indulging most likely made me a masochist, but I couldn’t resist, even for only a minute. I pressed my hand into the cushion to push off the couch and away from Lee.
“Stella,” he mumbled, sinking his head deeper into the back of the couch cushion and tightening his hold. “Don’t go, baby,” he whispered, nuzzling my hair.
Stella?
