Chapter Four

I’m taking you to bed.

Hannah had another coughing fit, only this time it was for real. He couldn’t possibly mean that the way it sounded.

Could he?

“You know, I’m not actually very tired. It’s barely seven o’clock and I just ate and—”

“You’re not going to sleep.”

“I’m not?” Hannah squeaked.

“No, we’re not,” Liam said, his voice deep and certain. He didn’t say anything else as he climbed the stairs, his arms seeming to tighten around her.

She’d never felt more safe. Or more like hyperventilating. She wasn’t sure which.

She had to be dreaming. She’d fallen asleep down on the couch in the family room and she obviously had not woken up, because only in her dreams did Liam sweep her into his arms and carry her off to a love nest for some sweet, hot, but totally-bad-idea lovin.’

And if this was a dream, then she was going to enjoy it.

Liam turned right at the top of the stairs and made his way toward the family living area where her bedroom was. In the three years they’d been friends, she didn’t think he’d ever been in her bedroom but he certainly knew where it was because he made his way there now with no hesitation. He pushed the door open with his foot and carried her across the room straight to her pristinely made bed.

Setting her down gently onto the floor, Liam framed her face with his hands, looked deep into her eyes for seconds that felt like a millennium of heart pounding anticipation, and said, “I don’t have the patience to wait any longer.”

Hannah’s breath caught. Liam was the most patient person she had ever known—always laser focused on his goal but with the patience to wait practically forever if he had to in order to accomplish it. She was afraid to know, to confirm, what it was that made Liam battle his legendary patience—and lose. But she was desperate for the knowledge, too. She asked, “Wait for what?”

“For this.” With that, Liam bent his head and kissed Hannah.

And it was like the tumbler in a lock clicking into place.

Liam moved his lips slowly, surely, over hers, and suddenly everything felt right. Complete. The world was put right side up again. Hannah’s tightly wound muscles loosened, and for the first time in a month, she relaxed into the moment.

Liam’s hands moved into her hair as he deepened the kiss, sweeping his tongue inside her mouth. Warmth moved through Hannah’s body, and she thought she could weep at the perfection of this moment. He never hesitated, never paused, never seemed unsure. Not like she’d been. He just took complete possession of her mouth as if they’d shared this intimacy for years.

It was that thought that made Hannah tear her mouth from his and stumble back. He caught her, of course.

“Easy,” he said.

“Is that what you think this is, easy? You think it’s that easy going from friends to lovers?” She’d been agonizing over her feelings for him, desperate to keep things the way they were, terrified she would screw up this relationship too.
