Vale

I think she’s broken me too.

I thought I was an old dog with no new tricks to learn. Sex was just an outlet. Don’t get me wrong. Sex was never awful. It was satisfying in the way that I needed it to be. For both parties.

But tonight is different. Lily is different. The sex is epic. My chest feels like it’s about to bust open with this weird sense of optimism I’m not used to.

Maybe because we’ve known each other for so long. Become friends despite her brother. Grown close. These feelings between us are built on something stronger than attraction. We have a connection that’s much more than sex. It terrifies me, but I can no longer deny it.

And she’s so damn beautiful. Sexy. Funny. Cute.

I shift my weight off her and onto the bed beside her. Use the heel of my palm to push her damp hair out of her face.

She smiles at me, her gorgeous tits heaving with each breath. Her skin is flushed and rosy.

She forgives me too easily though, when I’ve been such an ass. I know this and I want to warn her that she needs to remember to be careful to guard her heart. Because I would hate to break it.

“Come here.” I tug her against my chest. Wrap my arm around her and kiss her forehead.

She lays her hand on my chest. Draws pictures with her finger. “You’re not leaving?”

“Do you want me to?” My breath catches. I don’t want to leave her. Not tonight. Maybe not ever. It’s disconcerting that I feel like this.

She shakes her head against my pectoral muscle. “I’d hoped you’d stay. I want you to stay. But I thought you might not be ready.”

“You thought that’s what I would do because I’m that guy.” There’s a lump in my throat. I have been that man. More times than I’d care to admit to. It was easier. I inhale the tropical scent in her hair.

And still she’s willing to give me a chance.

“You’re not a bunch of walking-talking sex hormones.” She drops her gaze to my body and smiles. “Well, not only that. You’re also a great friend. You’re protective and caring. I don’t know what happened to make you doubt yourself.” She squeezes her arm around me. “But if you need to go slow…”

I turn to her and drape her leg over my hip. “Did you just turn my line back on me?”

She bites her lip to try and stop the grin that takes over anyway. “Maybe.”

“I haven’t dated since I was in high school,” I admit. It’s barely the tip of the iceberg, but I want to offer her something of myself. To explain… despite my better judgement. “So you might need to keep that in mind while we’re dating. Until your brother finds out and tries to kill me.”

“Hud’s a pussy cat.” Although she says it lightly, her brow furrows. “Do you ever wonder if he’s using reverse psychology in some kind of matchmaking attempt?”

“Unfortunately, I don’t see that being the case.
