CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Sebastian had longed for true love, for a girl as sweet and giving as Emily, for as long as he could remember. But he’d never believed he deserved true love, never believed he was loveable. His father was a criminal. Sebastian had grown up around crime, committing crimes. He was ashamed of his childhood, of his upbringing. Ashamed of his father and his barbaric ways. That was why he’d fled. That was why he’d tried to wipe himself clean of his past. But his father had found him. The past had caught up with him. There was no escaping what he’d done. There was no denying his roots.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

No, I’m not like him. I’m not.

Emily’s words came back to him, filling him with hope: You don’t know how special you are, how good you are.

Emily.

She made him forget how worthless and pathetic he was. She made him feel wanted, needed. Could she truly care about him? Was it possible she might someday love him?

Emily didn’t know why he’d never had a committed relationship with a woman before, why he’d never let his heart get involved. She didn’t know why he kept himself aloof.

It wasn’t fair to her to keep it a secret any longer. Some things he preferred to keep a secret from her, but not this. She needed to know why he was the way he was. She needed to know the danger she would be in if she pursued this relationship with him. He needed to warn her.

Even if the thought of losing her hurt so much he didn’t think he’d be able to bear it.

Her tentative kiss, her soft, sweet mouth turned him on more than he would have thought possible. He wrapped his arms around her, pressing her against him, and kissed her back. God, she felt so good in his arms, she tasted so good against his lips. She was the balm to soothe his wounded soul. She might be the only thing that could heal him.

The simple press of lips against lips quickly turned into something more powerful, something desperate and needy. Their tongues met, tangled in an erotic dance. Heat shot through him, igniting a fire in his loins and burning a path through his bloodstream. He didn’t want to stop. He wanted to devour her. All of her. He wanted to lock them in his beach house and shut the world out. Forget about everything but her.

Breaths ragged, hearts pounding, they finally drew back. Sebastian stared down at her. Her eyes were dark and clouded with passion, her cheeks flushed, her lips rosy and wet. His shirt had fallen off her shoulders and lay in the sand at their feet. Her clothes clung to her like a second skin, wet from the ocean, her beautiful breasts outlined against the thin fabric of her shirt. Her nipples jutted out eagerly, begging for his touch.

He kissed her again, hungrily, his hand closing around her breast, his fingers tweaking a hard nipple.
