CHAPTER TEN

WHAT’RE YOU DOING? What’re you doing?

That was the argument from the rational side of her brain, which told her to protect her guard. The other side was urging her to give in and enjoy this moment that she’d been dreaming about for so long.

She wanted to see if her fantasies matched reality. She’d had other boyfriends, but they hadn’t been memorable and they had been fleeting because deep down all she’d ever wanted was Zac.

She’d been numb for so long, she just wanted the release of heady pleasure.

That voice of reason was drowning in a sea of need and desire as his lips crushed hers with kisses, his hands in her hair, as she pulled him tight against her body so they were flush. As she felt his hard body pressed against hers, any reservations she had melted away in a rush of lust.

This wasn’t love.

And that’s what she had to keep reminding herself. Zac Davenport was incapable of love. She’d learned that lesson a long time ago. Only now, at the end, she wouldn’t be devastated. She could just enjoy this moment and take it for what it was.

It was just sex.

Plain and simple.

Really?

Maybe it wouldn’t be just sex. A part of her hoped that it wouldn’t be just that. Deep down, she was secretly hoping for more, but steeling herself for the disappointment because all she knew right now was that she wanted him.

Only him.

What he’d said in the elevator had broken through the guards around her heart. It had melted her resolve completely. She was lost and she didn’t care.

All she wanted to do was feel.

The kiss ended, and her breath hitched in her throat as she helped him out of his scrub top and ran her hands over the hardened muscles that hadn’t been there before. She let her fingers travel over scars that marred his flesh, scars that hadn’t been there before, and she couldn’t help but wonder how they had got there.

“Bullet,” he whispered against her neck. “It was nothing.”

“Do you want me to stop touching you there?” she asked. She was upset that he’d been shot, but he had been in the armed forces so that was always a possibility.

“No, I like it. I like you touching me there.” He kissed her neck, right against her pulse point. “Your heart is racing. I can feel it.”

And then she placed a hand on his chest. “Yours as well.”

He helped her pull off her scrub top and toss it away. Zac ran his hands down her back, causing a shiver of delight to pass through her.

“Your skin is so soft. I’d forgotten how soft it was.” His brilliant blue eyes twinkled in the darkness. It was his eyes that always made her go weak in the knees and now was no exception. It was just the two of them here in the wee hours of Christmas Day, surrounded by a storm that had shut down the entire city.

And she wanted to tell him about all the things she’d forgotten about him.
