Chapter Twelve

Caroline

The heat seeping from his body warms me to my soul. The way he’s looking at me like I’m some long-lost treasure solidifies everything I’ve been trying to prove to myself. Inside this huge beast of a man is a fragile, hesitant heart. I’m in love with Tahoe so endlessly and deeply, I already know no one else in my entire life will compare. The tenderness in moments he has no control over is intoxicating, his subtlety lacks therefore, it’s all on display. He sets my every nerve ending ablaze. From the roots of my hair to my baby toe on each foot, everything is vibrating with uncontrollable excitement. My stomach tilts and turns merely looking at his chest, his coiled, tight stomach, the mouthwatering square jaw line. This is the first time I’ve felt anything even remotely similar to what everyone tells me love is. Confusing it with lust was a concern, until I realized I was holding myself back—standing in my own way. I perceived him as a jerk in the beginning because that’s what I labeled him. My self-doubt wouldn’t let me believe a man like Tahoe would choose a woman like me. Here we are, though. His body inches away from mine, my pulse echoing inside my ears, and my hands reaching up to his shoulders to pull his body against mine.

I want him. I choose him. “I need to see you naked,” he says, breaking the kiss to push up on his arms, his eyes telling me it truly is a need. Naked. Naked. Naked. The word ricochets around my mind as the realness of this hits. He senses the panic, shaking his head. “I can hold myself back. I’m not a complete caveman, Caroline. We’re not having sex tonight. Not yet.”

Biting my lip, the fear slips out. “Why not tonight?” I ask, admiring the veins pulsing on his biceps, and then focus my gaze on his.

“We defined this,” he says, sitting back on his knees, pulling me to sit in front of him, “As something we wanted to take slow. Raise your arms,” he says. Lifting them above my head feels strange, but the feral smile on his face tells me this is going to be fun. He slides my dress over my head in one fluid movement. He tosses it on the chair in the corner of the room without taking his eyes off my body. I planned for this, knowing something like this was going to take place tonight. The bra and panties are matching—a cotton candy pink set.

“You’re perfect,” Tahoe rasps, trailing his fingers over my shoulders and down my arms, his gaze following in their wake.

“But not perfect enough to have sex with?”

He sucks in a noisy breath. “That’s what you think? That I don’t want to rip off those tiny panties and fuck you until you can’t walk straight for a week?” He shakes his head, a wide smile on his face. “That’s why I can’t have sex with you tonight, Caroline.
