The Theriot Family #3
Lancelot
When I met Julian, I wanted to hate him. He’s my opposite in every way.
I’m impulsive. A rule breaker. A criminal.
He likes thing quiet and orderly.
But when I made demands, he stood his ground, and I knew I had to have him. I never imagined a mousy, uptight librarian could push all my buttons, but he does.
To win him over though, I’ll have to do the impossible: Prove that occasionally, I can be reserved and restrained. And show Julian that he can trust a criminal with his heart.
Excerpt
“No. You will not be handling any of the materials in this library. Putting the monkey in your coat does not make the situation any better. You have been disrespect—“
“Hey. That’s just not true. I came in here, greeted you and—“
“You brought a monkey into the library.”
“I told you he’s my—“
“I don’t want to hear any more of that—“ He snapped his mouth closed with a horrified look.
“Bullshit. I think that’s the word you were looking for.”
“Please do not use language like that in the library, though it’s nice for you to admit it.”
What was it about this infuriating man? I wanted to despise him and the way he was speaking to me. Instead, I was more determined than ever to get him to use every foul word I could think of as he urged me on and begged me to take him.
