T.J.’s heart pumped as if she’d run a marathon. And it hurt, ached, and burned in a way that mere exercise would never cause. Vaughn’s presence was everywhere, choking her reason and her ability to defend herself. He filled her senses—his smell, his heat, his pretty, pretty words. She knew what Janelle would say—words were the easy part. Not once had Vaughn ever been able to fulfill the promise of his beautiful words. But T.J. knew that wasn’t true either. He’d been unwavering in his commitment and loyalty to her for the first eleven years of their relationship. Then he’d faltered briefly, in what most would consider a pretty ordinary teenage mistake. And when they’d finally gotten together at that winter ball, he’d been absolutely devoted, the best boyfriend any girl could wish for.

No, Vaughn’s problems with commitment and follow-through had definitely not started until after his parents’ deaths. The question was whether the earlier version of him was still in there. She’d held on to hope that he’d reemerge eventually, but he’d given her plenty of reason to believe that day would never come.

But now, standing here listening to his pretty words, seeing the anguish in his eyes, feeling the urgency of his touch, T.J. was tired. Tired of hoping and waiting and being disappointed. Tired of dating Drew and wishing he was someone else. Tired of missing the other half of her soul.

T.J. simply wanted. Wanted to stop worrying, stop needing, stop missing. T.J. wanted Vaughn, and she was pretty solidly convinced that was never going to go away.

So, she let her heart have its way, just this once, and she looked up at him from under her lashes. “I don’t know if it’s enough of a reason for a lifetime, but it’s enough of a reason for right now.”

“T.—”

“Shh.” She pressed her fingers over his lips, the heat and feel of his skin sending a rush of arousal to her core. “I don’t want to argue or think about it anymore. I just want you.”

He gazed at her, and she could feel him trying to puzzle it out. But he wouldn’t be able to, because she couldn’t even herself.

She reached down and lifted his hand in hers, bringing it to her breast. She laid his palm over her aching nipple. “Please,” she whispered. “I can’t think anymore. Make me feel like only you can.”

There was a moment where all the breath seemed to rush from his body, then he was on her in a flash, his lips hot and demanding as he nipped and licked at her mouth before plunging his tongue inside, caressing her teeth, tasting her deep and long. One of his arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her against him, bringing her up on her tiptoes. He was hard—everywhere—and she couldn’t help but groan when she felt him press against her stomach.

“Want you, baby.” His hands roamed up and down her form, restless with an energy that she felt sparking all over her body as well.
