Aimee didn’t know how else to get through to him. Spilling her life story had not been comfortable in the least, but he needed to hear it. The truth that she unfolded for him was that she would not be beat down by anything in this life. If anything, she would rise to the top of any situation.

Dom kept pushing her away, making it difficult for her to get through to him, but as long as he held her there was a chance he was listening. There was a chance they could begin working to make things better.

“Have you thought about finding them? Your family, I mean.” His voice rumbled in her ear once she laid her head back on his chest.

“They tried to reach out to me. Mostly distant cousins trying to figure out why I left. I never felt the urge to return. There was nothing that pulled me back.”

Aimee knew it was because she’d always been meant to find herself here, in Dom’s arms. Everything in her life had led her to this moment. To him. And she didn’t want to lose him just yet. There was time to make things better. He could find the man he once was if he would only try.

“It’s your turn to open up,” she reminded him with a poke to the chest. “Tell me something personal.”

He swallowed, the sound audible in the quiet room. Her body pulsed this close to him. Her core warmed, remembering the way he’d touched her outside. They were meant to be, but it would only work if he tried.

If he wanted this.

When he said nothing, she realized he wouldn’t put in the work. It hurt, the knowledge that Dom refused to give her what she so desperately wanted. All she asked for was a little bit of effort. Determined as ever, he held back. She couldn’t tell if he was afraid to hurt her or if he truly did not want this relationship.

Outside, it had been clear that he was at least attracted to her. His beast craved hers in a way that had driven them both to carnal pleasure. Even after, he’d been so sweet and gentle with her as he carried her inside. She’d thought that they’d finally overcome the last obstacle until he left her alone in the bathroom.

He was still running. What they’d done outside had only been a stumble in his race to escape her.

Aimee’s fists clenched at her sides. Anger made her lungs seize, her stomach clench. She couldn’t shake it. Not while they were this close.

“I could save you!” She pulled back to sit on her knees, throwing her arm wide in frustration.

“I’m not asking you to save me. Don’t you see that?”

The tiny beast in her refused to give up. Even if he refused to ask, she would keep trying. Trying until it destroyed her. She saw what he was trying to prevent, but she didn’t want to acknowledge it. There was a possibility that she could have all she ever wanted if only he would give it to her.
