Trey had always banked on two things that would knock him out. Getting sloppy-assed drunk and sex.

The first had never failed him, though as he’d gotten older and wiser, he’d refrained from that particular endeavor. Sex, though, he could count on every time.

Or had been able to until he’d met Daisy Barton.

He had attributed his inability to doze off after he made love with her the first time to an innate sense of survival. He sure as hell hadn’t wanted to get caught buck naked with the boss’s equally naked daughter in his arms.

All the stolen moments with her after that he painted with the same excuse. Getting nookie on the side did have its risks.

But there was no accounting for why he was lying here with her snuggled up against him while he was wide awake.

No reason except the bald fact that she wanted something from him that he didn’t think he’d be able to give. He didn’t know what love was. Didn’t understand how a man felt if afflicted with the emotion.

He’d shared a strong bond with his foster brothers, but he’d never loved them. He respected Reid and Dade. He knew he could count on them to be there for him through thick and thin.

At least it’d been that way for a dozen or more years until Reid had turned on them.

How the hell could he make her understand that he’d be there for her until she drew her last breath? That she could depend on him to protect her and pleasure her?

He didn’t know. She wanted those flowery words. He could promise her anything tangible. He’d be at her side always. But he couldn’t tell her something that didn’t exist—at least for him.

He skimmed his palm down her bare back to the inviting curve of her hip, certain he’d never known a more perfectly formed woman. Never met one who fit him like a glove until Daisy.

A contented sound escaped her in sleep to torment him, for that pleased rest she enjoyed was eluding him now. She had him between a rock and a hard place.

He gathered her close and buried his face in her silken hair. She needed him. Needed a man to guard her back.

She surely didn’t want Dade telling her what to do. And wouldn’t that be one helluva row when he learned Daisy had grit?

Nope, she wanted Trey to be her husband, the man she leaned on in hard times, the one she clung to when wounds needed to be salved. The man who would show her pleasure the best he knew how for as long as he drew breath.

But she didn’t want him unless he loved her. Shit, he couldn’t lie to her. But the truth would have her walking away, and he couldn’t let that happen either.

She was his. Had been his since the first time he took her innocence. Why couldn’t she see that? Why couldn’t she be happy with what he could give her?

Women! Hellfire, what was he
