None of this felt real. Annie gazed into Alex’s eyes and wondered if she should pinch herself. He was usually so funny, teasing and playing jokes, acting like a clown. Making her laugh.

Not now. Not here. His hands slid down her arms, but his fingers trembled against her skin. His lips parted when he cupped her breasts, and he sort of gnawed on his lower lip as if he was totally lost in touching her.

She was quickly losing herself. Losing any sense of who or what she was beyond what she could be for Alex. What they could be together. Was this love, this terrifying sense of free fall, the feeling that if he didn’t do more now, make love to her now, she’d burst into flames?

She’d had sex with a lot of women—girlfriends both human and Chanku. None of them, not even Lily tonight, had affected her the way Alex did, merely by looking at her as he ran his big hands over her body.

She reveled in the rough scrape of calloused palms, his strength, and the flex of muscles barely visible in the darkness. Even with her Chanku eyesight, he was all line and shadow, shape and form without truly defined edges, but he was every inch an alpha male.

What was he thinking? She wondered if he’d open his thoughts to her, and when she dropped her shields, just like that he was in her head.

And firmly entrenched within her heart.

Beautiful. So beautiful, and I don’t know if I’m good enough, if I’ll ever be good enough. Beautiful, perfect Annie.

Her breath caught in her throat. He had no idea she was listening, that he was broadcasting, and as much as she wanted to hear more, it wasn’t fair to him. Not when she could answer his questions so easily.

Since I was little, you were always the best thing in my world. The boy I looked up to, and then the man. The one who made me laugh, even when you didn’t realize I was in the room. The one who always kept the bigger kids, including my brothers, from teasing me. You’ve always protected me. Make love to me. I’m thirty years old, and I’ve waited almost all of those years for you. You know how this is supposed to work, but I don’t. Please don’t make me wait any longer.

He groaned and kissed her, but there was nothing practiced in the press of his firm lips, the click of teeth bumping, the sensual tingle of tongues touching, stroking, searching deeper. Annie sensed that Alex was every bit as nervous as she was, and his sweet anxiety gave her courage.

She loved his taste and the way it felt when they were skin to skin. She twisted beneath him to bring their bodies closer together. She wanted him inside where no man had touched her, where she’d kept that one small bit of herself inviolate, just for him.

Did he care? Did it matter?

It matters, sweetheart. You have no idea. Matters so much, and yet I’m afraid of hurting you.
