CHAPTER 18

SOPHIE

Hawk was quiet on the drive home. So quiet I began to wonder what might be on his mind.

Every few minutes, I’d look over and catch him looking my way. He’d hold my gaze for a moment and then go back to watching the road. I loved the way he was with me. One day, he’d treat me as if I were a delicate flower he was afraid would bruise, and the next, he was the same way he’d acted in the bar. Taking charge and telling me what he wanted. The lust I recognized in his eyes was a language I understood all too well. It screamed that he wanted me in the worst way. The same way I’d been craving him. But behind that lust lay something else. Something I hadn’t seen in so long I’d almost forgotten how much I’d missed it.

I wasn’t foolish enough to think Hawk loved me, but his eyes told me he would if I’d be open to it. Was that something I wanted? After Gavin had left, I’d been so closed off to laying my heart open for anyone else to come in and finish ripping it apart. Gavin had been the only man I’d ever let into my heart, and look what he’d done to it. Could I trust Hawk with something so precious? That was a very serious question, and one I needed to find an answer to, because I had a feeling the moment I shared my body with him, there would be no going back.

Finding a boyfriend had never been my intention. From the beginning, it had been about landing that elusive role I’d spent years chasing. Hawk and I both knew at some point I’d have to leave, but where did that leave us in the meantime? Was I ready to fall again? Was it already too late? And the bigger question… Would I be able to survive the landing if things didn’t work out in the end?

By the time we made it home, the silence between us had stretched on for so long I began to think he’d changed his mind about taking things to the next step. In the hall outside our bedrooms, I whispered good night and placed a hand on my door, fully prepared to go inside and spend the rest of the night tossing and turning, wondering exactly what I’d done wrong.

Then he came up behind me, resting his forehead on the door and caging me in with his long arms and muscular chest. I could smell his cologne and outdoorsy fragrance mixed with a hint of sweat. The length of his erection molded against the crack of my ass, removing any doubt I had about whether he still wanted me.

“I’m not entirely sure what just happened, but I’m sorry about giving you the silent treatment. It wasn’t because I’ve suddenly changed my mind about us. I still want this. I still want you. I was just… I was thinking about your first day here.
