Chapter Ten

Gabby had kissed four men in her life. Ricky, of course. Corey Gentry on a dare in eighth grade. A guy at a frat party—she didn’t know his name—and now Jaime.

In the past eight years she would’ve considered this part of her dead. The part that could care about kissing and touching. The part of her brain that could go from that to sex.

It was a miracle and a joy to still have the same kind of desire she’d had before. It was a miracle and a joy to be kissing Jaime, his lips so soft, his touch nearly reverent. As though she were something of a miracle to him.

Ricky had never kissed her like this and she’d been convinced she loved him. But he’d been a boy and she’d been a girl. They’d been selfish and Jaime... Jaime was anything but selfish. A good man. A strong and honorable man.

That somehow made the kiss more exciting, knowing he thought it was wrong but couldn’t quite help himself. Knowing he felt the same simmering feelings and that he didn’t think it was because of their situation. It was because of who they were.

Gabby. Jaime.

She thought she hadn’t known who she was anymore, but she was learning. Jaime was showing her pieces of herself she’d forgotten. He was bending his strict moral code for her and that, above all else, spoke to a feeling most people wouldn’t believe could happen in three days. She herself wasn’t sure she’d believed something like this could grow in three days.

But here she was feeling things for a man that she’d never felt before. She wanted to be able to make sacrifices for him, and she wanted him safe, and she wanted him hers.

He pulled away slightly and it was another wondrous thing that every time he pulled away she could feel how hard it was for him to do so.

“I have a meeting with The Stallion,” he said, his voice very nearly hoarse. “I can’t be late again or things could get ugly.” He tried to smile, probably to make it sound less intimidating, but it didn’t work.

She clutched him harder. “Come back,” she blurted. She said it spontaneously, but she still meant it. She wanted him to come back. She wanted more than a kiss.

“So we can...” He cleared his throat. “Plan, right?”

She smiled at him because it was cute he would even think that. “We can plan, too.” She watched him swallow as though he were nervous. She didn’t mind that the least little bit.

“Gabby.”

“Come back tonight. Spend the night with me.”

It was a wonderful thing to know he wanted to. That though he was resisting, something deep inside him wanted to or he wouldn’t question it at all. It was so against his inner sense of right and wrong, but he wouldn’t fight with that if he didn’t truly want her.

“It wouldn’t be right. To... It would be taking advantage,” he said, as though trying to convince himself.

“You’re worried about me taking advantage of you?” she asked as innocently as she could manage.
