Chapter Ten

Emmett sat in the chair of his parents’ bedroom, mesmerized by Amber’s chest rising and falling with every deep inhalation and exhalation from her lips. She’d crawled into bed and conked out right after they’d gotten back to the cabin. Five hours later, she was still asleep, and he was still watching her.

His mind wouldn’t settle back enough for him to catch any zees.

The twins had to be in town by now. They might even know the full truth about who Amber really was. He didn’t envy them for that knowledge. The rainstorm had made it possible for them to stay clear of Amber’s real past. A week of heaven with her had created a dream that somehow there was a chance she could be his, be all of theirs. It wasn’t true or possible. He knew it. Fantasies faded away. Time wouldn’t heal the wound to come after she was gone. Nothing would heal that kind of heartbreak.

She was everything he’d ever dreamed of—a woman of strength and courage, a woman not afraid to challenge or to surrender, a woman of kindness and passion, and a woman so beautiful, inside and out, who could fill every day with wonder and joy for the rest of his life. Amber was that woman in every way.

He’d never believed what his parents had had together was possible for him. Now, he knew it was.

He was falling in love with Amber. He had been since he’d picked her up off the ground that first day.

Amber screamed. “No. God, no.”

He leapt from the chair and pulled her into his arms. She was having a nightmare. Her eyes remained closed and she began muttering those words he’d heard the day he’d found her. “Right. Bliss. Bliss. No. Stop.”

“Wake up, Amber. It’s only a dream.” He shook her slightly.

Her eyes fluttered open and he saw the river of tears flowing down her cheeks. “What’s going on?”

“You were having a nightmare. You screamed.”

“I don’t remember,” she cried. “Why can’t I remember anything?”

He rocked her in his arms, hating the pain she was feeling. “I’m here, sweetheart. It’s okay.”

“No. It’s not. The only thing I remember is the boy. His face. Nothing more. I know this is over.” Her body shook from violent sobbing.

“Amber, you have to believe.” He held her close, hoping to take away her torment.

“You don’t believe in us. Whatever chance we might’ve had is over. I can’t do this any longer. I have to face facts. You and me never had a chance. Cody and Bryant are over. I’m lost, Emmett. So very lost.”

“Baby, I’m here.” Her suffering was ripping her apart and killing him. He stroked her hair and rocked her trembling body.

“It’s too much. I can’t bear this anymore. Forgive me, but I want you. I want you, Emmett. I need you. Don’t hate me for it, please.”

He cradled her chin in his hand. “Look at me, Amber.”

She blinked and more tears fell down her gorgeous face.

“I can never hate you. You want to know the truth? I want you.
