Chapter Seven

Someone knocked on her apartment door. A very, very insistent knock. No, more like a fierce pounding. Gia jumped at the sound, and the glass ornament she’d just been about to hang on the tree slipped from her fingers and shattered on the wooden floor.

The knocking continued.

He hasn’t found me. He couldn’t have found me. She tip-toed toward the door. Pressed her hand to the wood and put her eye to the little peephole.

When she saw her visitor, the wave of shock that hit her had Gia nearly falling to the floor just like the ornament. Falling and shattering. Instead, she managed to stay upright, and she yanked open the door. “What in the hell are you doing here?”

Oliver stood on the threshold. Even bigger than she remembered. Even better looking, too, as if the last year had been some magical walk in the park. His chest was heaving as he sucked in fierce breaths, and he stared at her like he’d just found the most perfect Christmas gift ever.

Oh, wait. That’s probably how I’m staring at him. She twisted her features into a glare.

But then he said—

“Thank God, you’re alive.”

“What?”

He grabbed her. Yanked her into a fierce, nearly bone-crushing hug as he held her against him, and Oliver shuddered.

He was warm and strong, and he smelled like home, damn him. He smelled like her home. She wanted to snuggle against him, hold on tight and never let go, but he was the one who’d let go before. He was the one who’d left her and just vanished, and she hadn’t been able to find him no matter how hard she searched.

“I still have time,” he muttered as he kissed her forehead. Her temple. Her cheek. Any place he could reach. “I can still have you.” Then he kissed her on the mouth. A passionate, wild, consuming kiss that sparked a floodgate of desire inside of her. He’d always been able to ignite her need so easily. Always been able to make lust burn with just a touch.

Plus, it had been one very long year. One very lonely year because she hadn’t been able to bear the thought of anyone but him and—

She tore her mouth from his. “No!” Gia shoved against the chest she’d always loved and drooled over. “You don’t get me. We’re over.” She staggered back a few steps and could still taste him, dammit. “I don’t know how the hell you found me—”

“An angel in a bar.”

Gia squinted at him. No, there had been no way he’d said what she just thought. Doggedly, she continued, “But you do not get to waltz back into my life like the last year didn’t happen. You left me.” He’d ripped out her heart and stomped on it. “I tried to find you.” Because, apparently, she was a glutton for punishment. “But it was as if you’d never existed. Your old SEAL buddies wouldn’t even talk to me, though I was sure some of them were helping you to hide.
