Chapter Seven

Flynn had known he’d have to explain eventually. The likelihood of spending a week seducing a woman without her seeing you naked was slim to negative one million. But he’d wanted a calm, reasoned conversation about it, not this raging maelstrom of emotion swirling around them, battering from all sides. In that dressing room, her horror at seeing his scars had triggered his flight response.

Just tell her the truth. Not everything, but enough to make her stay.

“I couldn’t tell you, because I wanted you. I’ve always wanted you, Liv. The girl I’d been dreaming of, the woman who kept me going with her sass and smile and silly gifts, but I couldn’t act on it. Not with…” He waved away the elephant on the beach. Brody. “The explosion happened and, first, it was just that I didn’t want to worry you or your mom. Brody knew I’d been hurt, but I played the injuries down and said he should keep it from you. When I knew I was heading stateside, I told him I didn’t want to see anyone but him. Because if I saw you, there was only one way it would go and it wouldn’t be good for you.”

Bafflement creased her brow. “You—you thought I wouldn’t take it well? I’d care how you looked?”

“No. That’s not…” He gave a helpless shrug. “Wanting you was wrong on so many levels already. You were this beautiful girl, so full of life, daughter of political royalty, and my best friend’s baby sister. Destined for greatness. As long as I kept you here”—he pointed to his head—“then I could know it was safe. But I was pretty fucked up after the explosion. Not just my body, but mentally I was all over the place. Angry, mood swings, libido shot to hell. And then I got my sex drive back a week before I was due to come home. It was raging, and God help the first woman I fucked when I was back on U.S. soil. I wouldn’t be able to control myself. I wouldn’t be able to hold back from taking her so hard I’d split her in half.”

It would not have been pretty, and mentally he wouldn’t have been able to follow through on anything but screwing her to numb his pain.

“You—you wanted to do that to me?”

He wanted to do everything to her.

She fisted her hips, her expression flickering from shock to something impossible to discern. “Let me get this straight. You chose not to share that you had life-threatening injuries, had lost your friends, and that you were going through this terrible experience because you were worried about screwing me into the middle of the next millennium?”

“I wasn’t myself, Liv. I would have hurt you. Used you.” It was already messed up with her being his friend’s sister. Don’t even get him started on how he could never be the right guy for her. Even if she could get past the bruising physical encounters—yep, plural because one would never be enough—someone like him had nothing to offer this beautiful girl.
