Chapter Twelve

Chase wakes up with Amber snuggled up against his side, her naked body flush against his. They’d made love two more times last night before they both passed out from exhaustion. Now, holding her like this, waking up with her in his arms…he feels at home in a way he never has before.

In the light of day, everything between them seems possible in a way that it never had before. It feels foolish now that he’d had concerns about making this work. They’re an amazing team at work; of course that would translate into their personal lives as well. Sex with Amber was mind-blowing and soul satisfying in a way that he didn’t know was possible.

Maybe he doesn’t have to worry about things not working out, about things between them getting messy. Maybe this is something he can have for the rest of his life.

That thought startles him. It doesn’t scare him like it would have before, it just surprises him that the want is there, that it’s so consuming and deep.

When Jason fell in love with Kaia, he saw all the ways that love changed his friend. He’d dismissed it as a possibility for himself back then, writing it off as some kind of once-in-a-lifetime fairytale bullshit. Now that he’s no longer pushing down the feelings he has for Amber in order to keep himself from acting on them? He can’t imagine a life without her.

The person he was just a year ago would laugh at the guy he is today: lying in bed with a woman and not wanting to let go, dreaming up a shared future with a house and kids someday. He’s so head-over-heels in love with Amber that it seems recklessly stupid to believe he could’ve ever walked away from this.

To think he could’ve missed out on this makes him ache.

He knows Amber had her hesitations about them too, but he hopes that last night helped ease her into the idea that they could make this work as a couple. They’ve never had a full conversation about it, since they’d been too busy trying to push down their feelings for each other, but Chase suspects that—like himself—she was worried about what adding a romantic relationship might do to their working one.

And…he’s not the most emotionally intelligent guy, but he gets the feeling that her dad’s infidelity and what recently happened to her sister has soured her on long-term romantic relationships. How could they not? He knows that his fickle past works against him if he wants to convince her that things will be different with him. Her fears are real, and he understands that this is something that words won’t be able to reassure her about.

He’s going to have to show her, every day, until she trusts that he’s not going to do to her what her father did to her mother, or what Trey did to Sasha.

He’s willing to put in the effort. He’s looking forward to putting in the effort. That’s a first for him.
