Words I Couldn't Say (Promise in Prose #1) Page 23

by Tessa Teevan


  I rose on my tiptoes and pressed my lips to his ear, giving him the only word he needed to hear. “Yes.”

  Tucker punched his fist into the air before saying those three words I’d never forget. “She said yes!”

  Newsflash: In case you’re wondering, I still have my nuts.

  At this point in our story, Ava and I have been blissfully married for twenty years, having given Jeremy and Sierra five grandchildren—all boys. Shortly after Those Three Words released and was a mega box-office hit, Ava’s agent, Martin, spent most of his time fielding calls as studios were clamoring for the woman who critics claimed was Hollywood’s newest sweetheart—Ava Banks, soon to be Manning. She went from a small-time star to the most sought-after actress in the world. It wasn’t a surprise to me at all. She deserved all the success in the world.

  As for me, I continued writing in my spare time but never published another romance book. My story had been told and I was living my own happily-ever-after. I didn’t need to write anyone else’s. Instead, I became a stay-at-home dad while dabbling in science fiction, and I loved every single second of it. We set up our home base in Cincinnati, raising our boys in my childhood home, right next to hers.

  Twenty-five years ago, I laid my parents to rest and lost the love of my life because the fates knew that our story wasn’t ready yet. Twenty years ago, the universe, with a little nudging from me, brought us back together, which led to a long life filled with laughter, love, and lots and lots of sex. Great sex. Phenomenal sex.

  I loved Ava.

  I let her go.

  And, when she was ready, she came back to me.

  Our story isn’t over yet, but I know one thing. It will end with the happiest of ever-afters.

  Interested in the novel Tucker wrote? Stay tuned to read the FULL story of Trevor and Abigail in Those Three Words. Set to release in early 2017!

  For all the people who helped, I am sincerely appreciative. I couldn’t do this without each and every one of you! Thanks so much to Teri Beth Cameron, Michelle Tan, Polly Matthews, Bianca Smith, Mickey Reed, Stacey Ryan Blake, Sara Eirew, and Robin Harper! You all make up the best team and I can’t wait to work with you all again in the future!

  I want to send a special thank you to all the readers and bloggers who took the time to read and review, whether you loved it or not, all feedback is appreciated and necessary! You’re all vital to the book community and I cannot thank you enough for taking a chance on me and my books!

  Tessa Teevan is a twenty-something book junkie who is also obsessed with sports. Bengals, Buckeyes, Reds are who she spends her time rooting for. She’s a research analyst by day, reads/writes by night, and is married to a guy 15 inches taller than her, making them quite the pair! They currently reside just outside of Dayton, OH with an adorably grumpy cat.

  If she’s not writing or scouring through tons of photos of hot men, all in the name of research, then you can probably find her curled up with her Kindle, ignoring the rest of the world. She loves her sports almost as much as she loves her books. Her other obsessions include red wine, hot men, rock music, and all things Corey Taylor.

  She adores hearing from readers, so please feel free to contact via any social media site listed below.
