CHAPTER ELEVEN

Tonka felt like a completely different man than the one he’d been before he and Henley started dating. And it was all because of her. She gave him the strength to push the shadows to the back of his mind and concentrate on the here and now.

The morning after their all-night lovemaking session had been just as comfortable and easy as all the days leading up to it. Which was a relief, because the last thing Tonka wanted was Henley feeling embarrassed about everything they’d done together.

He’d never felt so free to do what he wanted sexually as he did with Henley. She trusted him implicitly, and as a bonus, enjoyed making love as much as Tonka. They’d both been insatiable throughout the long night and the following morning, and she’d barely made it to her appointment on time.

They’d showered together, did the laundry—which began innocently enough and ended with Tonka taking her while she was sitting on his washer—made a large breakfast, and even snuggled on the couch for a while, watching a random zombie show before making love once more.

She was everything Tonka had ever dreamed about in a woman, but never thought he’d find.

The night Jasna got back from camp was harder than he’d thought it would be. He missed Henley. Yes, the sex was out of this world, but it was the intimacy that he missed most of all. Even after just the few nights they’d spent together, he’d gotten used to looking over on the couch and seeing her. Waking up in the middle of the night and having her snuggled up against him. Getting out of the shower and smelling coffee brewing. Coffee that he hadn’t had to make himself.

He’d been alone for so long, he’d figured it would be extremely difficult to get used to someone else being in his space. But that hadn’t been the case at all. Henley fit into his world as if she’d always been there.

And being able to go to his cabin with her after work, knowing he wouldn’t have to say goodbye, was something he hadn’t even realized he’d needed.

So it sucked big time that first night after camp when she and Jasna had hung out in his cabin, then she’d stood up around eight o’clock and said they had to get going.

Tonka treasured every moment he got to spend with Henley and Jasna. He’d learned the hard way that nothing in life was guaranteed. He’d assumed he had many more years with Steel. He thought the dog would be retired from service from the Coast Guard, and he’d get to live out his years comfortable and pampered by Tonka. While Steel had “only” been a dog, he’d also been Tonka’s best friend. They’d spent every minute of their days together. Which was why it hurt so bad to have him so violently and suddenly torn away.

Shying away from his memories, Tonka returned his focus to the discussion going on around him. He and the rest of the guys were having their monthly business meeting about the goings-on with The Refuge.
