CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Christian took another deep breath. Was she ready? Only one way to find out. She hadn’t lied to Brayden. When she was with him, things were just them. "Do you know," she said, "I’ve never seen your room."

She stopped, pulled her hand back and walked toward his door. Was this foolish? It didn’t feel like it, but she was scared. And she didn’t want to be scared.

She wanted her life back.

Turning, she looked at him. Brayden stood staring at her, his tux jacket caught behind his wrists, his hands shoved in his pockets and the most confused expression she’d ever seen on his face.

Still he didn’t move.

Christian sighed and walked back to him. Maybe she should just let the dress fall. But then another thought slammed into her. What if Brayden didn’t want.... What if when he looked at her....

Stop it.

She stood in front of him, looked into his eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. A breath away, she murmured, "After the hotel, I would lay awake at night cursing you because I remembered how wonderful it was between us, how precious, how special. I want happy memories again, Brayden. I want to go to sleep tonight and know you’re the last man that has touched me." Then, she kissed him. Poured all the love, heartache and hope she could into that one kiss.

He tried to pull back. "This isn’t.... Might not be.... I don’t know.... You’ve had a lot of champagne tonight."

"I’m not drunk if that’s what you’re worried about. You are so stuck on this drunk thing, Brayden. You need to work on that," she told him, grabbing his head and kissing him again.

Their tongues danced and melded, sighs mingled breaths, and their bodies fit, moved, and asked for more.

Brayden jerked back. "Christian, don’t."

He held her at arms length and she could see the uncertainty in his eyes.

She cupped his face, not caring what he saw in her eyes. "I want you, Brayden. I have for a long time.

When I moved out, before I moved out, I would wake up thinking you were beside me, feeling your hands on me." She dropped her gaze to his lips. "Remembering what you tasted like, what it felt like to be with you. It was wonderful and beautiful."

One quiet moment stretched, then he whispered, "It’s supposed to be."

She ran her thumb over his bottom lip, which was larger and fuller than the top, though not plump by any means. Finally, she looked back into his eyes.

"Now I’m afraid to sleep. I’m tired of him, Brayden. I’m tired of being scared. I want to remember what it’s meant to be like." She kissed him again and whispered in his ear, "Help me forget the nightmare.

Make me remember the love."

He pulled her back, his hands hard and strong on either side of her face. "I don’t know if this is such a good idea. What if...."

"Oh...." He didn’t want to. Why hadn’t she thought of him? "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean.
