Kings of Mystic Page 6
I was so enraptured that I was a complete idiot. I didn’t know what the hell I was thinking, coming on to her so hard like that. Slapping some bills down on the table, I hastily descend the stairs and exit the restaurant. I’m fucking pissed at myself and my hormones are raging. You’d think that I’d have it under control, with the amount of ass that I get. But my libido is on fire for her and being sober is bringing it to a whole new level. My sandal snags on a rock, so I kick it clear across the street.
I just cock-blocked myself by being a total asshole.
She’s never going to agree to see me again.
I take out my phone and call Blake since it’s only nine o’clock on Friday night.
“How was the big date?”
“She walked out on me.”
“What?” He barks into the phone.
“I just made the mistake of treating her like the randoms that we usually pick up at two in the morning.”
“Jesus Ry—you are so out of practice.”
“I know. I was nervous as hell. I don’t know what to say to a girl I actually like. So, I spewed the same shit that works like a charm for me.”
“Only this time it didn’t.”
“Nope. Ah, fuck, she’s never going to see me after this.”
“Nah, you just need to do some damage control.”
“How do I do that?”
“Relax, I’ll handle it. I’m at the yacht club having some drinks. There’s a decent crowd here.”
“I’ll be over in five.”
I hang up and text Vanessa, hoping that I can play it off like I was just acting; pretending to be a prick when all I want to do is be her prince—no, I want to be her king. I pray that she gives me another chance to let me. For the first time in three years, I feel hope stir. I let it spread; I want to get out of the dark and into the light again.

Dear Reader,
I hope that you enjoyed the prequel novella to The Last Summer Girl, which is the start Vanessa’s story. In Kings of Mystic, you got a chance to meet Ryan before she did! The conclusion to their story will be releasing this August.
As I was writing Come the Fall, the last book in the trilogy and I got reacquainted with old characters, I felt that Ryan and Blake had a part of the story to tell. So, I let them tell it!
I hope you enjoyed this prequel to Vanessa’s story, which is available now!

The series concludes with, Come the Fall which is releasing mid-to late August! I won’t lie— it’s my favorite book of the series. It is in both Ryan and Vanessa’s voice!
