Love’s Manifesto: Fated — By Kayelle Gee
On May 21st, Kayelle Gee returns with a new release and she has a special sneak peek for you to read below.
“Hey, you wanna come inside for a little while?”
With delight plastered across his handsome face, Keno casually spun her way. “I thought you’d never ask.”
He followed her into her home, and she stopped in the living room. “Just so you know, I don’t have sex on the first date.”
He sat on the couch. “That’s fine because I don’t expect sex on the first date. Plus, this is technically our second date.” He grinned.
“Real funny. But I don’t have sex on the second date either.”
“Good.”
“I just wanna be clear on my intentions for inviting you in.”
He lifted his hands in surrender. “We’re all clear.”
“Good. Now, would you like something to drink?” She sauntered over to the kitchen.
“I was thinking you could provide me with something sweet,” he told her while walking her way. He gazed with seductive eyes and slightly parted lips.
Kadence stammered. “You’re already starting off on the wrong foot, Keno.”
“What?” He chuckled. “Nah, I meant dessert. What did you think I was talking about?”
She shook her head. “Nothing.”
“You said you would work it out for me and replace my desserts so, work it out.”
She scrunched up her face and squinted. “You’re lucky I like you,” she told him as she grabbed dough from the fridge and put on her apron. “And that I have some stuff prepped.”
“That’s not luck. That’s destiny.”
“You say it like you manifested this or something.”
He fell silent and her head snapped in his direction. “Would it throw you off if I told you I did?” Her movements slowed and her expression was abstruse. “I’m not trying to make you uncomfortable—”
“I’m not uncomfortable,” she interrupted. “I mean, I am a little bit, I guess. But not in a bad way. Your directness is… new for me.”
“That’s just how I am. You’ll get used to it.”
“There you go again.” Her lashes fluttered and she pursed her lips.
“What?” He smiled, showing off his pearly whites.
“You love talking like you’re gonna be around for awhile.”
“Because I plan to be around for awhile. I wasn’t joking about manifesting this. I asked the Universe to send me what I needed and for me to be prepared to receive it.”
“And what did the Universe deliver?”
“You.”
She gasped and for a moment, it felt like there was no air in the room. As he filled the space between them, her breathing steadied. When he touched her hand, she exhaled loudly.
“I’m ready to receive you,” he told her. “I need to know what you’re ready for.”
“It feels too soon to say what I feel.”
“Let’s forget about time. We don’t know how much of it we have to let it pass us by.” She turned away. “I want you to look at me, Kadence.”
Her eyes shut, then they popped open and landed on him. “It’s too much too soon.”
“Then tell me how much you’re ready for right now or tell me to pull back.”
