CHAPTER TWELVE
Nate
I take Tara back to my room, my heart hammering in my chest. I donât know how this is going to pan out. I donât know if Tara even wants to talk this out. She made her feelings pretty clear earlier today when she walked away from me.
But sheâs here now.
She seems like she wants to at least hear me out.
It gives me hope that this is going to pan out. Maybe sheâs realized that we can find a way to be together, that she canât live under someoneâs thumb foreverâ¦that she can make her own choices. Sheâs a grown woman and itâs time for her to make a choice based on what she wants, not what other people tell her she should want.
In the safety of my room, I watch as her shoulders sag like sheâs got the weight of the world on her shoulders today.
She looks up to meet my eyes, heaving a big sigh.
âFirst of all, Iâm sorry about earlier,â she says softly, her eyes full of hurt. âI never should have been so impulsive. I got in my head and lost in my emotions. I should have been a little more patient with myself and thought things through. But, Nateâ¦you understand, donât you? I thought there was no way out. I thought that it was my only option.â
âI know,â I say, taking a step toward her but I pull back at the last minute giving her space. âAnd what do you think now?â
She wavers before she steps a little closer to me and puts her hand on my chest and I groan in response. I love the feeling of her touching me, but itâs distracting right now. Itâs all I can think of, her hands on my body, but I force myself to meet her eyes, even as my cock comes to life in my pants. I guess she doesnât realize just how strong an effect she has on me.
âI thinkâ¦â she whispers. âI think that I was foolish to move so quickly. I was foolish to think that it would be so simple to walk away. This means something to me, Nate. I know it might not have seemed that way from the way I behavedâ¦but Iâ¦I feel a lot for you. More than I ever have for anyone in the world. And after I walked away, Iâ¦.I tried to imagine my life without you, and it hurt so much that I thought it would tear me apart. Youâre everything to me. You gave my life a new meaning. Before I met you, all I cared about was seeing the world, but now, itâs different. I still want to see the world, but I donât want to do it without you by my side. I donât want to do anything without you.â
Her hand slides a little further down my chest and settles over my heart. I know she has to be able to feel it crashing hard against my ribs. She has to know
