Once Upon Series

“Katie, come on!” Cole called through her bedroom door. “I said that I was sorry.”

“You’re a gigantic ass-wipe, and I hate you,” Katie yelled back from her position on the bed. Why had she thought that shopping with Cole would be a good idea?

Cole rested his head against her door. “Fine, I’m a gigantic ass-wipe. But please don’t hate me.”

There was a long pause, making Cole worried that she wasn’t going to respond. But then the doorknob began to turn. “I don’t hate you, Cole. But you are never coming shopping with me again.”

Cole scooped Katie up with both arms. “I knew you couldn’t stay mad at me!”

“Let go of me, you oaf!” Katie giggled, trying to wriggle out of his arms.

“Never! Not until you say I’m not a gigantic ass-wipe,” Cole teased, tightening his grip. He loved the feel of her small soft body against his larger one. Something smelled amazing. He buried his nose in her hair.

“Are you smelling me?” Katie asked in confusion.

It was then that Cole realized how close they really were. Katie’s long streaky blond hair was wrapped in his hand. Her firm breasts were pressed against his chest. And her blue eyes were looking at him in confusion. She was so damn beautiful, and her lips were closer than he could ever remember them being.

Katie’s heart was racing. She knew that Cole was hot, he had the whole tan surfer look down without even trying. His blond hair was always perfectly disheveled. And his green eyes which always held amusement were dark and focused. Katie felt a familiar stirring in her stomach. Her eyes glanced over his chiseled jaw that hadn’t been shaved that morning. Cole was tall, at least two inches above six feet. His body was built from constant sports and weight training. There had been more than one occasion when Katie had to stop herself from drooling. And when Cole had walked around without a shirt on it was like Christmas or her birthday.
