Chapter Thirteen

Rafe’s stomach knotted, and for a moment the truth hovered on his lips, ready to spill like frozen peas from a bag. But Noelle’s firm words echoed in his head, just let her heal, as well as the look in her eyes, almost of panic. She was really afraid that the truth would set her daughter back, and he could understand that. But it was so hard keeping it from her.

Just a few more days, he promised himself. Phoebe was already looking better. Even forty-eight hours would help. He had to keep her as calm as he could until then, and support her through this difficult time.

“Your brain is trying to mend the lost connections,” he told her. “I know it’s hard, and you want all the answers now, but you just need to give yourself time.”

Her green eyes met his, her chest rising and falling quickly with her rapid breaths. “I’m sorry. I’m full of such conflicting emotions. Like with you. I feel such a strong attraction to you, and it’s difficult to fight it, but I know I have to, because I can’t remember our relationship, or how I felt about you, I mean it would be so easy to give in to it, but maybe I’ll get my memory back and I’ll be angry with myself for saying or doing something, and then I’ll—”

Sliding a hand to the side of her head without the wound, he leaned forward and captured her lips with his.

Phoebe gave a brief, muffled protest, but Rafe didn’t release her. Instead, he tipped his head to the side, slanting his lips across hers, and brushed her bottom lip with his tongue. A small moan sounded deep in her throat, and then she opened her mouth and returned the kiss, leaning into him.

Rafe didn’t hold back this time, pouring out his passion, his heartache, and his fear that he was going to lose her, pulling her tightly against him. Leaving her lips briefly, he kissed up her cheekbone to her ear, sliding his hand to her breast and cupping it, brushing his thumb over her nipple. She gasped, and he moved his hand beneath her breast and pressed it over her ribs.

“I can feel your heart racing,” he said fiercely. “You can’t fake that, Phoebe. It doesn’t matter what memories you have or whether you think you’ve changed—you want me, and I want you, and that’s all that matters.”

“You make me ache,” she whispered.

He kissed back to her mouth and brushed his lips against hers. “I know a great remedy for that.”

She closed her eyes. “Oh God, don’t…”

“I’ll show you tonight,” he said, running the tip of his tongue along her bottom lip.

“It must mean something, the way I feel about you.” She slid a hand into his hair, her nails scraping his scalp.

“Your soul remembers me. It’s like memory foam. It’s shaped itself to me, and now we fit together perfectly.”

“I almost believe that,” she whispered.

He touched his nose to hers. “It’s the truth.
