REX HAD A weird feeling in his gut. He couldn’t put his finger on it, but it didn’t seem quite right the way Tori reacted toward sex. No question she’d gotten hot and bothered with him. The second night they were together, she’d orgasmed just by dry humping.

No, her womanly parts worked beautifully. Rex felt her desire, her need for him. But something was holding her back, making her hyper-cautious. He didn’t want his mind to run wild with ideas as to what might have caused her hesitation regarding him and sex. It could only lead to one thing, which would strike a rage in him the likes he’d never felt before.

A murderous fury would rip through him, and he’d want to give the person who had hurt Tori excruciating pain.

Rex shook his head as he climbed into bed. He couldn’t go there. If a horrible event had occurred in Tori’s life, he hoped she would trust him enough to share it with him. Jumping to conclusions was wrong. His mind could fabricate something entirely different than what might actually have happened. If anything at all. Perhaps she was just shy and playing it safe with him.

He shook his head again. Not likely. Embers smoldered in his belly, hovering on the edge of a raging fire. A desperate need to protect Tori gripped him. He’d never let anyone or anything harm her.

God, I hope she clears this up for me soon, or I might go mad.

The door slowly opened. Perfect timing. Just seeing Tori calmed him, and she looked utterly delectable in his T-shirt.

She bit her lip, her cheeks rosy. “Hi.” She issued him an adorable wave.

“Come here, beautiful. No need to be nervous. Tonight, I’m only going to hold you.”

“What about tomorrow night?” She tiptoed over and sat on the bed.

“I’ll follow your lead.” He patted the bed.

She slipped under the covers and turned on her side to face him. “Men don’t usually follow a woman’s lead. I mean, if they sense she’s interested, they just take what they want.”

“Take what they want” struck him like a bolt of lightning. He bit down on his back molars, trying to keep his cool.

“Not this man.” He traced the curve of her jaw with his finger. “You have all the control for when we take the next step. If we have sex. You have nothing to fear—”

“Shh.” She cut him off with her mouth on his. She kissed him deeply. “I feel safe with you. I want to be intimate with you… soon.” She nibbled his bottom lip playfully.

“Only when you’re ready.”

“You are an amazing man, Rexford Knolls.”

“And you, Tori Hart, are an enchanting, beautiful woman on the inside and out.”

They kissed a little more before Rex spooned Tori and they drifted off to sleep.

Like clockwork, he woke before the alarm on his phone went off at five in the morning. He didn’t need to be up so early; he just naturally woke at this time, ever since his rodeo days.

Typically, he’d grumble and rise from a fitful night’s sleep, then dress for the day.
