Chapter Seventeen

The door bursts open as Kohen eagerly pushes me inside my apartment. Dropping my purse, I turn to face him. His mouth captures mine so fast I gasp. His mouth is powerful, punishing even. I can’t even kiss him back, I stand helplessly as he steals my breath away. He runs his hands down my arms to my waist and picks me up. Automatically I wrap my legs around his waist and kiss him back just as fiercely as he’s kissing me. He carries me through my apartment heading in the direction of my bedroom. Perfect.

I moan into his mouth when he bites my lower lip. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I know I shouldn’t be doing this, but it feels too good to stop.

Tongues fighting each other, we finally reach my room. Slowly, Kohen releases me, dragging my body down his strong one, letting me feel every one of his muscles with my body. I squeeze my thighs together, hoping to stop the moisture gathering in my panties. I only make it worse.

He brushes the hair out of my face. He bends down so that his mouth hovers over mine, but doesn’t move closer. I stretch so I can close the tiny distance between us. He backs away.

“I love you. God, Adalynn I love you so much. I’ve loved you for so long, since the day I first saw you.”

Breathing is nonexistent. I so did not expect him to declare his love for me when he opened his mouth. Why did he have to ruin this? I push away from him and sit on the edge of my bed. This can’t be happening. He doesn’t really know me. He can’t love me. I examine his face and see that he believes he really does love me.

I’m going to throw up.

I press my hand to my mouth and will myself to take small deep breaths. He isn’t down on one knee. He just said ‘I love you,’ no big deal. I know people say this all the time, but not to me, this feels wrong, he isn’t Jax.

I need to say something, but I can’t. Every time I open my mouth to speak, it feels like someone poured cement into it, making it impossible. He cups both hands around my legs and rubs them. After several awkward minutes of silence, he pulls his hands away from my legs and begins to stroke my face.

“Babe, it’s okay. I know it’s too soon for you. You don’t have to say it back. I want you to say it when you really mean it, not because I said it.” I hear the sincerity in his voice, “I couldn’t wait any longer. I need you to know that I love you, that I’ve always loved you and I always will. I want to be the person you love, the person you want a future with. I’m willing to wait as long as it takes to hear those words for you, Adalynn, because you’re worth it.
