CHAPTER EIGHT

Emotion clogged my throat. Tears stung the backs of my eyes as he curled an arm around my waist and dragged me to his chest.

“I don’t care what we have to do…whether it takes contracts, arrangements, promises or vows, we’ll work things out between us. Understood?”

“We don’t even know if we have a problem. Let’s wait and see—”

“I’m not only talking about the possibility of a baby. I’m talking about us…you and me.”

Did he mean a future?

I groaned as my shoulders slumped. “I don’t know if there’ll ever be a you and me. I still haven’t figured out if I’m a Domme or a sub. I don’t have a clue in hell where I belong.”

A gentle smile touched his lips as he brushed the pad of his thumb to catch the tear spilling down my cheek. “You belong with me, Sam. Plain and simple, you belong with me.”

A tiny sob slid from my throat. Max took the coffee from my fingers and placed both cups on the end table. Then he lifted me into his arms, like he’d done the night he broke down my door, and carried me down the hall. When he noticed the covers strewn across the bed in the guest room, he sent me a startled stare.

“Has someone else been here?”

I shook my head. In a quivering voice, I confessed that I couldn’t sleep with his scent surrounding me. A look of relief swept over his face as he pressed his lips to mine, a soft, tender caress filled with understanding and promise.

He laid me on the mattress before gently tugging off the clothes I’d worn to the store and had fallen asleep in. Stepping back, he undressed. There was nothing provocative or sexy in his movements, but I was mesmerized all the same. An easy comfort had formed between us. It was as if we’d known each other a lifetime instead of only a few short days.

Without a word, Max crawled in beside me. He pulled the blankets over us and wrapped me in his arms. Placing a tender kiss to my lips, he rested his head on the pillow and closed his eyes. Nestled in his warm, protective arms, I laid my head on his chest and listened to the steady beat of his heart as I slid into the inky darkness.

When I woke, he was gone. I glanced at the clock. It was nearly one in the afternoon. With a languid stretch, I turned and buried my face in Max’s pillow. As I breathed in his familiar scent, tingles ignited beneath my flesh. I couldn’t help but smile.

We hadn’t come to any conclusions in regard to the litany of issues hanging over our heads—hell, we’d barely said a word at all—but a flicker of hope and security had awakened inside me. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel completely alone.

After tending to business in the bathroom, I tugged on my robe and opened the bedroom door. The scent of bacon and an undertone of coffee hit my senses before I’d even stepped into the hallway.
