CHAPTER TWELVE

* Liam *

Waking up with Kayla in my arms filled me with such peace. This magical girl was everything I’d ever wanted. Even though I knew this was the day her desire for me would be turning off like flipping a switch. I tried to be grateful for what time we had left.

The guilt over what we’d done in the night came back to me in a wave. I knew it was wrong. I could also feel how much it had relaxed her. Some people had flings all the time. For us to have a little snuggle that was over the line wasn’t the worst thing ever, I hoped.

She had begged for much more, and I was actually rather impressed that I was able to control myself. Barely. It may have been one of the hardest things I’d ever done.

Something else was incredibly hard. I needed to escape our sleepy snuggling before she got ideas again. Or even worse, if I did.

Wrapping my arms around her waist, I gently rolled her over top of me so that she was facing the back of the couch. I needed to escape to take a shower, and take care of certain male business that was becoming quite painful.

The hot water drained my tension, and my hand drained my more urgent tension. I pictured Kayla’s open lips, gasping as she came. Her curvy hips wriggling, her little fingers nearly tearing out my hair.

I came harder than I could ever remember, shooting my pent up release straight down the drain as I ground my lips together hard. Somehow I managed not to choke out her name under the falling water.

Once I was dressed and busy with making coffee for me and tea for her, I felt clearer. Stable. I could get through this day, and be there for her. I couldn’t imagine how stressed out she must be, and she would need someone to lean on.

“Hi.”

I spun to see Kayla with her fingertips on either side of the kitchen doorway. “Good morning,” I said brightly. “Tea is ready, and I was going to make toast.”

Her smile fell. “I don’t think I can eat today.”

Taking her tea in one hand and her elbow in the other, I guided her to the dining table. “And yet, you’re going to eat two pieces of toast, and have a glass of orange juice as well as your tea.”

After she sat down, she turned slightly, sticking out her bottom lip like a bratty child. “I don’t wanna.”

Then we both laughed together as I took her hand and guided it to her teacup. “We can’t have dizzy spells at the doctor’s, so you’re going to need blood sugar. I’m not being a jerk here, it’s science. Right?”

“Yeah, I know. I’m just…”

My hand skimmed over the top of her head, stroking her hair. I couldn’t help it, even though I managed to not pull her into my arms. “You’re nervous as hell. I get that. I’m going to be right there with you.
