Chapter 15

Monroe

I woke up the next morning feeling warm and loved. I was on my side facing Stone. He had his arm draped over my waist and had me pulled tight to his body. When I looked up at his face, I saw that he was still asleep. He was so content and peaceful. I loved that for him. All too often, I would look in his eyes and see the hardness that I hated. More and more now, I was seeing a vulnerability. I hoped we’d get to a point where he’d finally be able to fully let his guard down.

It’s interesting, though. Stone unequivocally told me earlier in the week that he’d never be able to give me forever, but what he said last night made me believe otherwise. I couldn’t sit there and say that I thought he was in love with me. I knew I fell for him, hard and fast, but I didn’t expect that had happened with him. That said, his words last night meant too much for me to be nothing to him. They were claiming and I hoped like hell he meant them because I knew deep down in my bones that I was exactly what I said I was last night.

I was Stone’s.

My heart belonged to him.

I only hoped he felt like he belonged to me. If I had been given the opportunity to make a birthday wish, it would have been to know, without a single doubt, that I was everything Stone wanted. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get the answer to that and as much as I wanted to talk to him about what he said last night so that I’d have a clearer picture of what was happening between us, I was too scared that if I did it would send him packing. Somehow, the uncertainty of what was happening between us was easier to deal with than the possibility of having him walk away if I pushed for more. I wasn’t sure how long that feeling would last for me but, for the time being, I was willing to settle for what he was offering.

On these thoughts, I reached my hand out to his chest. As I moved my fingertips along his skin, I tilted my head back to look up at him again.

God, I loved him.

I loved him so much I thought I would burst.

I shifted myself closer to him, hoping for maximum contact with his body. The moment I pressed my lips to his chest I felt his arm tighten around my waist. I smiled against his heated skin. After I gave him one more kiss I looked back up to see him smiling down at me.

“Good morning, handsome.”

Stone angled his head toward me, kissed the top of my head, and uttered a sleepy, “Good morning, angel.”

“I want to teach you how to dance,” I blurted out.

“Excuse me?”

“You said you don’t know anything about dancing. I want to teach you. Tonight is my birthday celebration at Lou’s.
