Brielle

We lie there for a long while, after. The night is silent except for our breathing. It feels like all the world has stopped just for us to enjoy the perfection of the moment.

Because that's exactly what it was--perfect.

Every touch, every kiss. I spent so much time fantasizing about Reince Crown taking me to bed. I imagined it rough and I imagined it tender.

I'm not sure it's possible that I could have imagined it being as amazing as it was, though.

I shiver and flush, just thinking about it.

"You all right?" Reince asks. He rests with his head on the pillow, his big, muscular body splayed out on his enormous king bed with its soft navy sheets.

I nod, my cheek to his chest. We pulled the covers up to our waists at some point, but underneath them, we're still gloriously naked.

A fact I'm taking advantage of to the most.

It still takes my breath away just how handsome Reince is. My ribs squeeze as I run my fingertips through the dark hair across his pecs, feeling the dips and ridges of the pure muscle underneath. His olive skin is smooth and hot. Even his scars are beautiful.

Mesmerized, I drift my hand toward his side. The raised marks slash across his flesh. I trace the gnarled tissue, following the lines of it in rapt fascination.

Right until his gruff voice makes me pause.

"How can you do that?" he asks.

I freeze, looking up at his face.

And what I see there makes my throat go dry.

There's a depth of pain I'll never know. A self-loathing so ugly I want to cry.

I swallow. Then I look away. As casually as I can manage, I resume the slow movements of my fingertips against his skin.

"Whatever do you mean?"

The words are pinched, but I'd rather sound unsure than let him for one second imagine that I believe whatever terrible thing I can practically hear him thinking about himself.

About this strong, proud, beautiful body that I adore so much.

This body I could come to love--given the chance.

This man I'm already on the precipice of feeling more for than I have for any other man in my life.

And it's funny, isn't it? This evening began with me telling Reince about the one and only other real relationship I ever had. I mourned what Pierre did to me. The way I felt about him was real.

But it feels more and more like a memory. It's faded. Maybe it was always just a little bit gray.

Whereas the emotions Reince brings out in me are a riot of colors, each more vibrant than the next.

The protectiveness in my heart right now is so bright I can hardly see.

Letting out a rough breath, Reince places his hand over mine, gently but firmly stilling the motion of my fingertips along his scars. "You know exactly what I mean."

I swallow hard. "They're from the accident, right?"

Nodding, he squeezes my hand then lets it go.

I wait a moment, but when he makes no further move to stop me,
