Chapter Twenty-two

Daniella intertwined her body around Jack’s as much as she could without disturbing her ankle. Funny. During sex, her stupid ankle was the furthest thing from her mind. There had been no pain. There had been no thoughts of anything else other than her and Jack and how good it felt to be with him.

How their connection had deepened. So hard and fast.

Making love to him, she wanted to give him everything she had, solidify their feelings. Show him her commitment. She gave him her trust and her heart willingly. She allowed herself the freedom to enjoy the sudden rush of bliss that coursed through her. Moments of utter happiness hadn’t come often in the years since she’d left Vegas. So she appreciated the place she found herself, sharing her bed with Jack.

She knew there were always risks in giving someone her heart.

So now she had to trust Jack not to break it. Whether she could put her feelings into words, she didn’t know. But sooner or later, they had to talk.

She snuggled in next to him and ran her hand over his flat abs.

“You okay, baby?” he asked, holding her in his arms.

“That was incredible.” She didn’t miss his slight grin.

“Just like old times.”

“Better. Way better than before.”

He pulled her toward him and covered her mouth with a light kiss. He probably didn’t want to have a discussion about their relationship, or talk about how things were going to go. But like it or not, she had two things going for her as she started to broach the subject. She was in no short supply of his attention. And there was a good chance he was too tired to walk away.

“I guess we should talk.” She winced.

He took a deep breath and pulled her closer into him. “About what?”

She shook her head. “You’re really going to make me work for this, aren’t you?”

He grinned. “If it ain’t worth working for, it ain’t worth having.”

She pinched his skin playfully. “Seriously?”

“Seriously.”

She broke free of his hold and sat up, wrapping the sheet around her bare chest.

“Oh come on.” He reached for her and pulled her back down into his arms.

“You have to make me a promise.”

“What’s that?” His hand drifted up the length of her arm.

“That you won’t push me away like you did before. If that happened again, I don’t think I could recover. I barely recovered the first time.”

He fell silent. She didn’t mean to unload on him, but there was no other way to say it except to put the words out there and see what happened.

His touch traveled all the way down to her hand until he curled his fingers around hers and said, “When you left, my heart left boxing.”

She lifted her head. “That’s not true. You had an undefeated record.”

“I didn’t say I couldn’t box. I said my desire for boxing left when you did.”

She lifted her head again and scooched up toward him. Then, just as suddenly, she crushed her mouth to his. Darting her tongue inside his mouth, she possessed him.
