Back in Time to Fall for Him novel Chapter 12

Madison raced out the door without a second thought, scanning for Sam and silently praying he hadn't gone far.

She peeled out of the driveway and caught sight of his car pulled over at the corner. He was leaning on the door, smoking.

Madison's breath hitched. A rush of relief slammed into her. He was still here!

Sam saw her too, and their gazes locked.

The terror of losing him crashed into the relief of having him back, and Madison couldn't stop the shaking. She cut the engine, got out, and blinked back the sting in her eyes as she walked toward him.

Sam frowned. He flicked his cigarette to the pavement, crushed it under his shoe, and reached for the car door.

"Don't go," Madison said.

She wrapped her arms around him, pressing her face against his back. The clean cedar scent on him steadied her breathing.

Hearing the quiver in her voice, Sam hesitated, then said, "I'm not handing Quinn Group over yet. And I'm not letting you and Johnny happen! You don't have to do this."

There was a tired resignation in his voice.

A sharp ache hit Madison in the chest. Without another thought, she stepped in front of him and hugged him tight again.

"It has nothing to do with Johnny. I ended things with him. From now on, I only want you."

Sam stiffened. Before he could respond, Madison looped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Her soft lips pressed against his as her scent flooded his head, stoking something dark in his eyes.

His gaze darkened with hunger, and he grabbed her waist, pinning her back against the hood of the car. "Do you even know what you're doing?"

Sam's breathing was rough and uneven. His brows were knit tight, and his eyes fixed on Madison with something almost feral.

She let out a short, bitter laugh. She was terrified to her core now that he pinned her beneath him, but as long as she held his gaze, that old calm would return.

"I know what I'm doing. Are you going to turn me down?" Madison asked.

Trembling, she lifted her chin with effort and brushed her lips to his again.
