CHAPTER 10

..................

I WAIT FOR A MOMENT, in shock at what I’ve just heard. After everything that I’ve said to him, everything that we’ve talked about tonight, this wasn’t how things seemed to be going. I feel like I’ve misheard him. I sit up, looking up into his handsome face, and I need to be sure. “You’re serious?” I ask. “You’re serious about us leaving together?” I try not to sound like my entire happiness depends on his answer, although that’s exactly how I feel.

“Yes, I’m serious,” he says slowly. “I hate the idea of running away, it seems like it’s letting them win… again. But you’re right,” he concedes. “I don’t have a plan. All I have is a gun, and unless I turn into Jason Bourne overnight, that’s not going to take down the entire Bleeding Angels MC. Not by a long shot.”

“But if we do this, I need to know something. I think I deserve to. So you have to answer me truthfully,” he says and waits until I nod my assent. “Did you mean what you said?” he asks, looking so vulnerable I want to reach up and cover his face in kisses and tell him that there’s nothing for him to worry about, that whatever happens, we can face it together.

“Yes,” I tell him and our eyes lock, brown meeting green. “I meant every word that I said. I’m in love with you, Jake, and I think I have been for a very long time,” I admit, wondering why I ever thought saying those words to him out loud would be so scary. It’s actually the opposite—it feels amazing to tell him. It won’t feel so amazing when he tells you that he just thinks you have a good personality, the little voice in my head pipes up, but I cover her mouth with duct tape and that shuts her up for a while.

“You have no idea how good it is to hear that,” Jake breathes out deeply.

“That’s all I get?” I ask, when it becomes clear that he’s not going to say anything else.

“Do you need me to say it?” he asks, surprise written all over his face. “Don’t you already know?”

“How am I going to know when you’ve never said anything?” I ask hurriedly.

“Because I’ve shown you every way I know how,” Jake say gently, running his thumb along the line of my cheekbones and looking at me with eyes filled with an emotion that I’m too nervous to name.

“Why do you think I got so angry at the bar the other night when that guy started to come on to you? Why do you think I make any bullshit excuse that I can to see you? I don’t even like the food at the diner,” he confesses, laughing a little in embarrassment.

I laugh with him, still too nervous to hope that he’s saying what I think he’s saying.

“You have been the only girl I ever want to be with for a long time,” he continues.
