Chapter Ten

“Your heart is racing,” Park told her, his voice gravelly as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close.

She couldn’t speak; this was the moment she’d been waiting for her whole adult life. Park touching her. Park wanting her.

He traced the tattoo with one finger, staring at it. “What does it mean to you?” His hazel eyes met hers.

Her mouth was dry. She licked her lips, drawing his gaze. “It means be strong, be fierce.” And it means Park stole my heart.

He placed his palm over her heart again, covering the hawk. “I’m honored.” He dropped his forehead to hers. “So honored.”

She couldn’t speak over the lump in her throat. He took a step back and pulled off his undershirt in that two-handed way guys did, shifting to show her his left bicep with a larger matching hawk tattoo. He’d gotten it when he enlisted. “For me it means think first before taking action. The hawk observes and then swoops in for the kill.”

She gave him a small watery smile and finally put it all out there. “It also means Park swooped in and stole my heart.”

His fingers flexed, his hands at his sides. “Mad, this—”

She held his face with both hands. “I’m all grown up. I can handle you.”

“I know,” he said, his voice gruff with emotion. He snagged her wrists, pulling her hands away from his face and back to her sides. “I don’t want to hurt you. I’m not cut out for relationships.”

She met his eyes unflinchingly. She’d always known she wasn’t woman enough for a man like Park. He favored petite girly girls. “Just once,” she said. “Nobody has to know.”

He released her wrists, his eyes searching hers and then drifting down to her mouth and lower to the hawk over her heart. She waited breathlessly, needing him to make the next move, willing him to touch her. Finally, his large hand cupped the back of her neck, drawing her close, and then his lips met hers just as electric as she remembered. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her entire body against his. She expected a quick hookup, a rush of grabbing hands and then hard thrusts against the wall, like most of her hookups, but Park surprised her. His hand slid up to cup the back of her head, holding her as he kissed her deeply, tenderly, like he was cherishing her. She’d never been kissed like this in her life. He didn’t press her up against the wall, didn’t even let his hands roam, merely held her, one hand on her head, his other arm wrapped around her waist. It made her head woozy and her limbs heavy. He kissed her like he had all night, on and on and on, until her lips felt swollen, her entire body liquid heat.

His mouth trailed to her jawline to the sensitive spot under her ear. Both his hands spanned her waist, resting lightly, and she let her hands roam across the muscular planes of his back.
