The Rich Boy, an all-new sensational slow burn romance standalone from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott is releasing March 9th, and we have the first sneak peek!
“All of Me” by Billie Holliday comes
on and we neither stop nor speak. We just keep moving to the music. My hands
creep up to the back of his neck where his skin is bare and warm to the touch.
His eyes are the most amazing shade of hazel. Like some lovesick fool I could
stare into them for hours. I don’t think I’ve slow danced with someone since
high school. Don’t get me wrong, there have been memorable times in my adult
life. I’ve been given roses and taken to dimly lit restaurants. But being here
with him is quickly becoming peak romance.
Next is “Lover” by Taylor Swift and
we dance on. He doesn’t try to kiss me so I don’t make a move either. There’s
no need for more just yet. Doing this, being this close, is beautiful. I want
about a hundred more moments like this with him. Possibly a great deal more.
When the music stops we gradually
still. And there’s this moment when it’s just me and him and the city around us
seems perfectly silent. How good it is to simply be in his arms and to have the
full focus of his attentions. To know that maybe, just maybe, I’m safe here
with him. The chambers of my heart fill up with him, one by one, and it’s both
wonderful and terrifying.
“That was nice,” he says in a low
voice.
“Yes, it was.”
“Yes, it was.”
He looks down, taking in the way our
bodies are pressed together. “Baby Jesus would be appalled.”
“I do so hate disappointing infant
gods.”
“You know, fifty years from now we’re
going to look back on tonight and you’re going to regret not taking the
opportunity to feel me up,” he says. “Just going for it and grabbing my junk
like you own it.”
“Oh my God, Beck.” I laugh. “That was such a
perfect romantic moment and you just killed it.”
“I did?”
“Dead and buried.”
He scratches at his head. “Well,
shit. I was only being honest.”
“Of course you were.”
With a smile, he takes a step back. I
miss him immediately. The heat and the feel of him. The warm and familiar scent
of his body. Maybe I should have taken him home last night. Though this slower
pace has a sweetness and heat I can’t help but enjoy. Despite the crazy things
that come out of his mouth and the insane cravings he inspires in me just by
existing. Damn the man.
“So,” he says.
I break out in gooseflesh from the
way he looks at me. As if not only am I the only woman in the room (which I
am), but quite possibly on the whole damn planet. As I’ve mentioned before, his
attention is addictive.
“How about I get the mopping done and
then take you on a second date to the diner?” he asks. “See if I can’t bring
the romance back to our burgeoning long-term relationship.”
“A second date, huh?”
“It’s a big step, I know. But I think
we’re ready. What do you think?”
I nod, my stomach turning upside
down. “Let’s do it.”
Synopsis
I’m the type of girl who’s given up on fairy tales. So when Beck – the hot new busboy at work – starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way.
But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world?
Only there’s so much more to him than that.
Billionaire playboy? Check.
Troubled soul? Check.
The owner of my heart, the man I’ve moved halfway across the country to be with, who’s laying the world at my feet in order to convince me to never leave? Check. Check. Check.
But nobody does complicated like the one percent.
This is not your everyday rags-to-riches, knight-in-shining armor whisking the poor girl off her feet kind of story. No, this is much messier.
