The room is dark, and I’m holding her in my arms. Her breathing is smooth and rhythmic. Every now and then she makes a cute little noise, almost a snore, but not quite.

What am I doing? For so long, conquering the business world, making my own name in my dad’s office were the most important things to me. Making sure Taron and Marley were taken care of was a close second.

A relationship would only slow me down. Not because I don’t want one, but because when I find the right woman, I want to treat her right, give her things, take care of her.

Is that what this is?

Shifting in the bed, I fight against the idea. I’ve only known this girl a week, one week. Sure I knew her sister. Yes, I’ve read her résumé. We’ve talked a lot, and I feel like I know her.

It’s too fucking soon.

But these feelings won’t be denied.

I’m at peace when I’m with her. Even in the face of the nightmare waiting at home, she puts my mind at ease.

With a little snort, she lifts her head, dark hair spilling around her shoulders. Her eyes are closed, but her face is to me.

“What is it, beautiful?” The tenderness in my tone is something new, something I don’t recognize. Have I ever been tender?

“Oh!” Her chin drops, and she places her cheek against my skin. “I didn’t know where I was for a minute.”

“You’re with me. Go back to sleep.” I’ll keep you safe.

Can I make that promise?

I feel her cheek rise with her smile, and just as fast, her breathing smooths out again. I lie awake for several minutes longer, before eventually the warmth of her body, the sound of her breath, lulls me to sleep.
