“Can we talk?” Leaning against the door frame, which is more for propping me up than to look cool and casual, I stare at her as she moves deliberately around the kitchen. She has made herself familiar with it all, and it makes me feel warm inside. She looks good in my kitchen. In my cabin. Can’t say it’s my home, it’s not. I haven’t had a home since I left the multi-million-pound townhouse in Chelsea where Jacob, Sawyer, Quentin and Connor now live.

“You just left?” Her tone is downright frosty.

“I deserve the chill factor, but we need to talk.”

“Humph,” she mutters but doesn’t stop what she is doing.

“Raven, I’m sorry I left. It seems to be my move these days. Things get hard, and I leave. I’m a dick; I know that. I should’ve stayed and talked to you about how I was feeling. When we…you know…” Christ, man. You can’t even say the words.

“Had sex?” she snaps.

“Yes,” I reply calmly. “It was…”

“What?”

“My first time.”

She freezes.

“I’ve shocked you.” When she turns, I give her a small smile.

“Uhm…” Her face creases, and she gives me a searching look. “Okay, I kind of wish you’d mentioned that before.”

“Was it not clear?”

“Well, I mean…I guess…I figured you’d done it, and that’s when you realised…fuck, I’m messing this all up. I’m sorry. I’ve never deflowered anyone before.”

Snickering into my hand, I cross over to her, taking her shaking hand to kiss her knuckles, revelling in the delight I feel to have my lips on her skin. “You are adorable.”

She nods slowly. “Okay, so where does that leave us?”

Us. I’m more confused now than ever. When I walked out of here, I had hoped to see her again, kiss her one last time and try to tell her how I feel. This has surpassed that. Raven has exceeded every expectation I had of her and this…relationship.

“If you want to see if there really is an ‘us’ to get to know one another on a deeper level, I won’t leave. I’m here, Raven.”

“Is that what you really want?” Her murmured words squeeze my heart.

“More than you know. But I’m still a bit confused. I won’t lie to you about that.”

“I understand. It must be very chaotic in your mind right now.”

“Will you give me a chance?” My heart has nearly stopped beating as I wait for her reply.

“I know how I feel about you.” Her voice has gone low and husky.

“And how is that?”

“My soul aches without you. A part of my heart feels empty without you. I know that sounds intense, and we’ve only really just found each other despite some two-way stalking.” She smiles, and it lights up my life to see it.

“It is intense. But I feel the same. You have touched a part of me, Raven, that I didn’t know was there. I don’t think anyone will ever be able to bring this out in me ever again. Now that I have it, I want it. I don’t want to lose this feeling.
