CHAPTER 6

RHETT

There’s something different about Phoenix tonight. It’s almost as if she’s ready to accept what I’m offering her, what I’ve been trying to show her is possible in her life. I’m afraid of believing it because if I’m wrong it will crush me.

I want her to see that her life doesn’t have to be about keeping people away so fucking badly. Getting her to agree to a date was a big enough hurdle. I know how tall her walls are, but I’m determined as hell.

Being able to sit with her and share a meal as we’ve talked and learned about each other is a bigger gift than she even realizes. I feel closer to her, and she’s let me peek deeper inside of her. She’ll never know how much I appreciate her willingness to let me in, even if only a little bit.

When we’re done with dinner, I don’t want the night to be over. Hell, I don’t ever want to be away from my woman. My heart sinks at the idea of taking her home and not being with her, but I push it aside because I don’t want anything to ruin this night.

When we’re settled into my car again, the end of the night looms and I swallow hard. The quiet around us is filled with tension, but there’s a peacefulness within it as well. We don’t have to fill the silence; we can just be.

As I pull up to her apartment building, dread fills me. When Phoenix turns to me, I let the doubt take over because I can’t read the expression on her face. I’m sure she’s going to tell me that while this was fun, she doesn’t want to do it again.

It won’t make me give up. I’ll never give up. But it will make things more difficult for me. I don’t want the night to end at all.

“Do you,” she nibbles on her bottom lip in the most adorable way, her voice uncertain, “want to come up?” I open my mouth to tell her I’d love to, but before I can she rushes out, “I don’t want the night to be over just yet.”

I grip the back of my woman’s neck and pull her closer, meeting her halfway. As my lips hover over hers, I whisper, “I don’t want the night to ever end, my Firestorm. I’d love to come up.” I search her eyes. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure,” her voice is strong.

When I kiss her, there’s a yearning there. For more. For everything. She kisses me back with the same vigor as I do her. As her lips part for me, I don’t waste time and slip my tongue into her mouth so I can taste her, so I can savor her.

She moans into my mouth and it takes everything in me to pull away from her. My eyes roam her beautiful face and I’m struck with just how fucking lucky I am. I wanted her from the moment I saw her and it’s taken time to get us to this point.
