CHAPTER ELEVEN

D raped over his shoulder the extra blood flow to her head must have caused temporary insanity because she looked forward to being alone with him. Hard questions or not; she needed this. She needed him. Jill giggled and admired Luka’s tight buns as he moved down the empty corridor.

“You don’t get to leave.” He stomped down the hall, opened a door and flicked on the light. “Not until we settle things,” he said as he carried her inside.

They were in a janitorial closet. Mops, brooms and towels covered rows of shelves along the back wall. She slid down his body as he set her on her feet. The room was small and reeked of cleaning supplies. He turned and closed the door, making the area seem even smaller with him taking up most of the available space.

Deep lines creased his forehead as he stepped away from her. Creating as much distance between them as the tiny room would allow. Even though it was only a foot, it seemed like a mile. She didn’t like it. Jill closed the gap and ran her hand over the buttons on his dress shirt. “Do you trust me?”

She hadn’t meant to start the conversation with a question. Not when she was the one who had explaining to do. But there was no point baring her soul if he had no intention of listening to reason. She needed assurances. As much as she could get, given their circumstances.

“I want to,” he answered.

Rianne’s words from earlier echoed. They were fitting given their situation. “Either you do, or you don’t. Trust doesn’t live in between.”

Luka leaned back against the door and ran his fingers through his short mane. His eyes connected with hers. So dark and alluring. He took his time to answer. “I do. Do you trust me?”

“Yes.” She swallowed hard. “I have never lied to you and I won’t. That’s not who I am. Ask me anything.”

His nostrils flared as he charged towards her. His hands landed on the hem of her jersey and he lifted it over her head. Her bra hit the floor next. Rather than devour her like she wanted, he stepped back.

He placed his hand over her heart and the other on her shoulder. “What do you want?”

“I want to fall in love again, and I think maybe I have.” Her words were choppy as she covered his hand with hers. “With you.”

“Keep going,” he prompted.

“Luka, I don’t know what you want me to say.”

He tapped her chest. “Tell me what is in here. What do you want the most?”

Admitting this next part out loud had set off the demise of her marriage. “I want to grow my family and be a part of something amazing. I want to foster, adopt and maybe by the grace of God have another biological child. Sharing my love with as many children as possible is all I’ve ever wanted. Are you scared yet?”

“Not even a little.” He slid his hand from her shoulder to cup her jaw.
