What He Really Feels (He Feels Trilogy)

by Lisa Suzanne

  Her expressive eyes gazed up at me, the lust in them mingling with love. I recognized it there, and I wanted to look at it forever.

  “I love you, too,” she said, and those words settled every nervous, anxious feeling inside of me as I was overtaken with the depth of feelings I had for her.

  My mouth found hers, and it didn’t matter that there were people around us in the small space. All that mattered was that we had finally said the words to each other.

  “I more than love you,” I said softly against her lips. “I need you. I crave you. I adore you.” I punctuated each sentence with a kiss.

  “I more than love you, too,” she breathed, kissing me again. “You captivate me so completely. I’ve never felt this strongly about anything or anybody before in my life.”

  “I haven’t either,” I said, leaning my forehead against hers. “And I know I never will. I’ve already told you, Lindsay. You’re it for me.”

  “You’re it for me, too,” she said.

  And in that moment, I knew with certainty that someday I would ask Lindsay to be my wife. It was new and fresh and exciting, and maybe someday the luster would wear off of our brand-new, shiny relationship, but I knew without a doubt that my feelings for her would never, ever diminish. From the moment I had met her, my feelings had somehow only grown stronger and stronger by the second. Every day, it seemed, she did something that made me love her even more. My heart was bursting with love for this woman, and I was beyond happy that I had finally been able to tell her what I really felt.

  As I pulled Lindsay closer into my arms, I was perfectly content. Despite everything I had been through over the past several weeks, I realized that I ended up exactly where I was supposed to be.

  Everything was perfect.

  Well, nearly everything was perfect.

  There was just that one troubling thought at the back of my mind: What had Jules meant by her text, and when would I find out?

  Acknowledgements

  Thank you first and foremost to my husband. If you read my acknowledgements in How He Really Feels, you know that he’s the one who finally convinced me to look into actually self-publishing my book. Thanks, hubs, for your support, for allowing our walks around the park with the fuzzy dog to be taken over with discussions of stories and characters and plot and titles, and, most especially, for not standing behind me while I’m writing.

  Thanks to my family (including the world’s best dog) and friends who have supported me in this endeavor even when they weren’t exactly sure what they were supporting. And special thanks to my brother for creating and designing my website: authorlisasuzanne.com.

  Thanks to my readers! Without you, this second book literally would not have been possible. Because you asked what happened to Travis, I was inspired to write his story. I hope it lived up to what you wanted for Travis, and I hope you’re as excited as me for book 3 in this series to see how everything pans out for Jules, Nick, and Trav.

  I want to take a moment to thank the amazing bloggers who have promoted my books on their blogs, Goodreads, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter… etc. THANK YOU for taking the time out of your day to help spread the word about indie authors like me. Also a special THANK YOU to the Facebook page admins who work tirelessly to promote books. Literally five months before I wrote this very acknowledgement, I had no idea about the world I was getting into in terms of self-promotion and marketing, and it would not be possible to spread the word about my books without the bloggers and Facebookers who dedicate time to read, review, and promote books simply because they love to read.

  I am forever grateful to each of the bloggers who has read and reviewed me, but I have to give a special shout out to Desiree and Jennifer from The Book Bar, Anna from AkiiKOMORI Reading, Jessica from Jessica’s Book Review, Emily from The SubClub Books Blog, and Skye from Book Addict Mumma. You have reviewed, supported, beta read, spotlighted, promoted, shared, etc., and I love you for it! Thanks for becoming trusted friends who I met simply by clicking a “Publish” button.

  A SUPER SPECIAL thank you to the Facebook pages What to Read after Fifty (50) Shades of Grey and Korner Kafé Exposed. Summer and Kim were the first two people who ever promoted my first book, and I’m forever in their debt.

  Thanks to the indie authors who have inspired me in this journey. I want to give a special thanks to K. Bromberg. She was willing to message back and forth with someone she didn’t even know on Facebook, and she gave me great advice that helped me get my first book in front of a lot more people. Make sure to read Driven and Fueled, the first two amazing books in her Driven Trilogy!

  The bands and singers who inspired me and who I couldn’t have done this without are peppered into the story in some parts, but special thanks to my favorites, Maroon 5 and Matchbox Twenty. I also listened to “Patience” by Guns N’ Roses on repeat for about a month straight once Travis admitted it was his favorite song, and I still can’t get enough of it. But, then again, every time I see mayonnaise, I think of Travis now, too.

  Finally, if you liked what you read, the best way to support authors is to leave a review. I’m forever grateful to those of you who leave feedback on Amazon and Goodreads! Anywhere you can leave me a review is greatly appreciated, and I want you to know that I read what you have to say about my books! And don’t forget to spread the word! Tell everyone you know how much you loved this book and that you can’t wait to see how everything works out in the final book of the trilogy!

  Thanks for reading!
