TAMMY

I sit on the edge of my couch, drumming my fingers on the cushions as an absurd amount of anxiety continues to boil up inside me. Saxon said he was coming over, but he’s already ten minutes late, and every second that ticks by feels like an eternity. I haven’t even heard his bike pull up outside, but it’s like I can still somehow feel his presence…watching, listening.

I want him here desperately, just like I’ve wanted him ever since the first time he walked into Jayne’s and set his fierce eyes on me. He made me feel like I was the only woman in the world. But now that it’s my day off, and I’m alone with my thoughts, the doubts have started to creep in.

The way Roxy looked at me. Told me I would never fit into his world.

Visions of my father. The way he used to slap me, hit me.

Is this thing between me and Saxon just a big mistake on my part? Just another man waiting for his chance to hurt me? My heart is really starting to race when I finally hear the heavy rumble of his bike as he pulls up out front. I scurry to the window and look out as he stands and walks to the door. He’s like a star at the center of a solar system. Everything just seems to orbit around him.

His heavy boots thud up the stairs as he comes up to my unit. I go to the door, but before I can reach for the handle, it opens inward, revealing his enormous frame that fills the doorway.

A warm shiver runs through me as his eyes lock on to me, lingering between my thighs as I try to pretend I’m not totally checking him out too.

His T-shirt is torn, revealing the sculpted lines of his massive chest muscles. I can’t picture Saxon in a gym working out. It just doesn’t seem like his style. No, he’s just naturally this jacked and this sexy. I wonder if he has any idea the effect he has on me.

I bet he does.

“Hi, Tammy.” He speaks my name like it’s sacred, and a knot tightens in my chest, forcing me to inhale deeply and try to keep my heart rate down.

I want to throw myself into his arms, but I freeze. Something about Saxon makes me feel blissfully alive, but also terrified. Whenever we’re together, the rest of the world no longer matters. It’s like only the two of us exist.

And that scares me.

I’ve never felt like this about a guy before.

“Hi, Saxon,” I reply, an obvious quiver in my voice. He closes the door behind him and slowly steps into the room. I can almost feel the distance between us closing with every step he takes, his eyes searching my face like he’s trying to read my mind.

What is he looking for?

“You all right?” he asks tenderly–more tender than a man with his image should be capable of. “You look nervous.”

I nod, ashamed.
