Chapter 3

Emma

What the fuck do I say to that?

I want it to be true. But it would never work for so many reasons. We don’t even know each other, for one. And even if we did, nothing can ever happen. I’m a target, and not only that, I’m a flight risk. There are so many ways I could hurt a man like Roman. Not physically, of course. But I could land a deadly blow all the same. Either my past catches up to me and he’s caught in the crossfire, or I have to go on the run and leave him devastated. I can’t do that to him. To anyone.

Roman takes advantage of my hesitation and bends down to kiss me again.

Fuck. A girl could drown in these kisses.

We were all hunger and frantic energy earlier, but this time when his tongue slips inside my mouth, he’s tender. Almost reverent. I feel his tongue graze across the roof of my mouth, and I can’t stop the low moan from escaping my throat.

Roman tilts my head to deepen our kiss. At the same time, his arm winds around my back and he pulls my body flush with his. He finally breaks the kiss, resting his forehead on mine.

“Emma…” He whispers.

Hearing him say my name for the first time does something to me. His voice is full of longing, of promise, of a painful need. My heart aches and I squeeze my eyes shut, the stupid tears fighting to make a comeback.

Roman tucks my head into his massive chest and for some reason I let him. He massages my neck with one hand and strokes my back with the other. His touch makes me feel so safe, so wanted. I listen to his steady breath and strong heartbeat, letting them anchor me once again. His warmth consumes me and cracks something open deep inside, filling me with his words and promises of home.

It’s too much.

I clear my throat and try one more time to shove him away. To my surprise, he lets me. And again, to my surprise, I miss his embrace.

Get it together, woman!

“I have to get back to work,” I tell him, trying to sound firm. I turn to open the door, half expecting him to stop me. When he doesn’t, I almost feel a little disappointed. I look at him over my shoulder and grin at him, hoping to end our brief time together on a good note. “Thanks for all the orgasms though.”

“Anytime, dandelion,” he grins.

Roman’s nickname hits me deep, though I’m pretty sure he has no idea why. I’ve barely known him for a day and already I could see myself falling for him so easily. If I were anyone else, I’d let myself get swept away in the fantasy. As it is, I’m me, and I have too many monsters hiding under my bed to invite someone else in there with me.

My feet carry my body out to the front of the diner, but I’m pretty sure my heart got left behind in the back room with Roman.
