CHAPTER FOUR

Johnny

I’d freaked the fuck out, and there I was, standing in my kitchen, with Flora in the other room not knowing what the hell was wrong with me. I was harder than a fucking steel rod. My cock jammed against my zipper, demanding to be free, to be buried within the tight, hot body of the woman I loved.

I might be a virgin, but fuck, I knew what I wanted, who I wanted. Flora. Hell, I was dying to let her know I’d saved myself for her, that no other woman ever had or would ever compare to her. And I really didn’t want to think about my future if I didn’t man up and admit how I felt for her. Fuck, it would be bleak.

I scrubbed a hand over my face, trying to stay calm, to be collected. Who the fuck was I kidding? I wasn’t going to do any of that, not with Flora so close, so willing, and mine.

I’d seen the way she shifted, the fact her pupils dilated. Her very body language let me know she’d been turned on, that she’d been so primed for me.

She cared for me. Wanted me.

And I’d had to get up and leave, because being so close to her, knowing that I could have leaned in and kissed her, tasted her, would have sent me over the edge. I might be “Big Johnny,” burly, and considered a loner and someone to steer clear of on the best of days, but when it came to Flora she was my world. I was pissed it had taken me so long to admit that to myself.

I leaned against the kitchen counter, just trying to breathe, to get my bearings. I wanted to tell her how much I cared for her, but fuck, I was afraid. I was scared as hell to admit that, to scare her off. I was petrified to see horror or disinterest on her face when I came clean on my feelings, that ever since she was eighteen I’d wanted her as mine.

I replayed that one night so many years ago in my head; her sitting beside me, the wind tousling her hair, the sweet smell of honeysuckle coming from her and making me drunk. It had been an innocent exchange, surely nothing more to her than that, but God, it had meant a hell of a lot to me. I’d held on to that night for so long, wishing I had told her to stay, that I wanted her…loved her.

It had taken me a long fucking time just to work up the nerve to ask her for tonight. I didn’t want to screw things up with her.

But I had to tell her how much I loved her, that she was mine even though she hadn’t known it. Just thinking about her with another man had rage filling me. I curled my hands into tight fists and breathed slowly. No, she was mine, and I had to make that known.
