The next morning, Blake rolled over to see Gemma sleeping on her side facing away from him. She sure the heck wasn’t one to cuddle.

Normally he’d be okay with that, but for some reason he wouldn’t have minded holding her tight all night long. Maybe he still needed some comfort from the past few days. It seemed they both found comfort in each other.

All those protective feelings he’d never had before with someone else were standing tall like Superman on at the top of the highest building looking down on the city and knowing he had everyone’s back.

He’d been so afraid of hurting her last night, but when it was all said and done, she’d been fine. She was sturdier than he gave her credit for.

She’d been honest with him and said she was uncomfortable, so he got up and ran the bath in the other bathroom for her. He figured maybe she’d want some alone time too.

While she was soaking, he’d gone downstairs and finished cleaning up dinner, then opened the bottle of beer he’d never gotten to.

He was exhausted, feeling like he was going through basic training again all in one day rather than weeks.

It wasn’t just a physical exhaustion but a mental one too.

Who would have thought this little slip of a woman could wiggle her way into his life so fast?

Into his heart? Was it possible this was love? Or was he just in love with the idea of loving someone? That he’d been waiting for this and just wanted to grab it?

And as much as he wanted to say those words he wouldn’t. Too many conflicting thoughts and too many emotions in the past week for him to know what he was truly feeling. There was no need to put that kind of pressure on them.

He was her first and he knew there was a kind of attachment in that alone. He didn’t want her to feel that way about him for that reason though. When the time came—if it came for her—he wanted to know that she felt the way she did because of who he was, not what he represented.

“Good morning,” he said when she started to stretch.

“Morning,” she said and that lovely blush of hers started to fill her face and even cover her neck. If he pulled the covers back, he’d bet it was over her chest too.

“How are you feeling this morning?”

She sat up and pulled the covers with her. “I feel fine. The same as I did every other time you’ve asked me.”

“So no regrets?” he asked. He worried that she might have some. That maybe she was holding out for something in life but wasn’t cluing him in on it.

“None at all. I wasn’t a virgin this late in life from choice. I mean I wasn’t waiting for the walk down the aisle or the diamond ring if that is what you’re thinking.”

“Why have you waited this long?” he asked.

She shrugged. “I told you I was overweight. I’m shy, you know that.
