Chapter 12

I need air. Every breath I take seems to only make my throat close and my lungs constrict.

I can’t stay here with him.

Looking away from Ryan, I watch the flames dance in the fireplace. “Will you let me up?”

“What’s wrong?” he asks, tilting my face back to his.

“I just need–”

“No.”

“No?”

“No. I’m not letting you run away.”

I narrow my eyes. “Who said I’m running?” I fire back.

“I can see it in your eyes. Talk to me.”

“I’m fine.” But I know he sees through my lie.

“Stop thinking so much.”

Staring into his crystal blue eyes for the longest moment, I force a swallow despite my dry throat. “I can’t,” I whisper.

“You can.”

Closing my eyes, I take in a shaky breath, and when I open them again, I find Ryan’s have never wavered from mine. I feel his penetrating gaze all the way to my core.

Kissing me long and slow, Ryan silences the questions, doubts, and fears swirling around my head.

He pulls out of me, and I whimper at the loss.

“Stay right here,” he says, standing and walking out of the room.

My eyes lazily follow him until he’s out of my line of sight.

Damn, his ass is fine.

Returning a minute later with a damp washcloth, Ryan kneels, and gently wipes me clean. Glancing up, he flashes me a small smile, and kisses my inner thigh when he’s finished.

He leaves again, and when he comes back, he picks his sweatpants up off the floor and pulls them on, covering up my spectacular view.

“Don’t worry, sweetheart,” he says, and my eyes flash up to his to see him wink. “You’ll see me naked again soon.”

My lips twitch, fighting a smile. “I’ll hold you to that, sheriff.” Grabbing my sweater, I pull it over my head and tug it down so it covers everything important, but still leaves my legs on full display. “Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll be seeing it all again soon, too,” I tell him when I catch him staring.

“I know.” He smiles, pouring us each a fresh glass of wine.

“Thanks,” I say, taking the glass from him, and leaning back against the couch.

Nodding, he takes a seat next to me, his arm almost touching mine as I sip my wine and watch the flames dance, trying to recover from what just happened. But I honestly don’t think I ever will. I can still feel him on me, and in me. And I know I’ll never forget it, or get enough of it.

“What’s your favorite movie?”

“Are you seriously asking me that?” I laugh lightly. We just had hot sex that rivals the fire in front of us, and he’s asking me about my favorite movie?

I turn my head towards him, and he smiles. “Yes.”

“Okay, then,” I say, tapping the rim of the wine glass against my bottom lip. “Jurassic Park.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Does that surprise you?”

“Sort of.”

“Why? A woman can’t have a thing for dinosaurs?”

“Of course she can. I just didn’t peg you as a woman who did. But I love that movie, too. Now I know what we’ll be watching when the power comes back on.
