Chapter 16

Verity~

I was staring in the mirror, my heart pounding a mile a minute. I’d already come to terms with the fact that I wanted Saint, and that I was willing to give him another chance. However, I’d never been the type of girl to make the first move. Though I wasn’t a prude and liked good sex just as much as the next girl, I’d never made the first move when it came to hooking up.

The shower was already on, the heat creating enough steam to start fogging up the mirror, and I knew that I was going to have to make a decision in the next few seconds. When Saint had asked me to save him some hot water, he had given me the perfect opening to invite him to take a shower with me. I had the perfect opportunity to start something new with Saint, and I couldn’t believe how virginal I felt right now. I couldn’t remember ever feeling this nervous over a guy before. Granted, Saint and I had already hit a bump in the road, but Lulee had been right; it’d just been a bump.

Taking in a deep breath, my decision was made.

Wrapping the complimentary robe tighter around my body, I reached for the doorknob, doing my best to steady my nerves. When I opened the door, steam billowed out into the room, but I could still see Saint turning around from where he was sitting on the couch to look back my way.

“Is everything okay?” he asked, and my chest thumped at the genuine concern in his voice. “Is it that buzzing again?”

I shook my head as I walked further into the room. “Uhm…no,” I stammered before letting out a shaky breath. “I was just thinking that…you know, if we showered together, then neither of us would have to worry about the hot water.”

Saint’s entire body froze for a second before he stood up, sliding his hands in his pockets. “Don’t play with me, Verity,” he said, his voice low and rough. “I mean it.”

“I’m not,” I replied, my voice sounding needy.

“Do not fucking play with me, Verity,” he repeated. “Not about this. Not about you.”

“I’m not,” I insisted. “Do you think I’d be standing here in nothing but a robe if I were.”

Saint’s head dropped back, and I could see him exhaling a deep breath. He looked like he was either praying or searching for patience. He looked like he was doing his best to keep his composure, and it was the sexiest sight that I’d ever seen.

When his head came back down to look at me, he said, “I’ve wanted you for two fucking years, Verity. I need you to understand that.”

“Saint, I-”

He threw his hand up to shut me up. “For two fucking years, Verity.” I could feel the blood in my veins turning hot. “If you think that I’m going to go easy on you, you’re wrong, baby.”

“I don’t want easy,” I told him, though I wasn’t even sure if that was true.
