Chapter 16

Was she? Jazzy blinked.

“I’m too old to play games.” Roan pressed a palm against his nape and looked resigned. “Either you want this, or you don’t. I want to be with you, but if you aren’t comfortable, I don’t want to pressure you in any way. I don’t want to talk you into something you’re not one hundred percent on board with.”

She had a dozen reasons to dress and get the hell out of there and only one reason to stay. She wanted this.

Wanted Roan.

“The sage burning didn’t work, did it?” She offered him a smile.

“Maybe because sage wasn’t in a stick?” Bemusement sparked his eyes.

“What if we just accept that there will be remnants of our past relationships with us and let that be okay.”

“That sounds mature.”

“Pros and cons,” she said.

“Oh, we’re doing that? All right.” He nodded and she couldn’t help noticing how amazing his muscled chest looked. “Pros. We both are insightful and self-aware. We’re not walking into this blind.”

“We’re both loyal.” She ticked off two fingers.

“Which can also be a con,” he said, “because it keeps us loyal to our past relationships.”

“Pro, we really like each other.”

“Con, potential for screwing up our friendship.”

“Pro, our chemistry is off the charts. The sex could be pretty damn good.”

“Con,” he said, his gaze latching on to hers. “I don’t have any condoms.”

“Pro,” she said, licking her lips. “I do. My friend Charlie insists I carry them just in case.”

“I like the way Charlie thinks.” Roan chuckled.

“I like you.”

“C’mere,” he said and crooked a finger at her.

She went. It might not be smart, but she really couldn’t help herself. She wanted this man. Wanted his touch, his kisses. Wanted to feel his body inside hers.

Goose bumps fled up her arms and it wasn’t because she was in her underwear. The room might be a little chilly, but she was blazing hot.

For Roan.

He wrapped her in his arms and hugged her for a long time and she let him, soaking up his warmth and strength.

Then his hand went to the clasp of her bra, but he hesitated. “Do you want this?”

“Yes.”

“You sure?”

“I’m still here.”

“That’s definitely a pro.” His fingers were at her back and she felt the bra give and fall away. He sucked in his breath and with reverence in his voice said, “God, you are so beautiful.”

Her cheeks flushed and she ducked her head.

He hooked a finger under her chin and raised her face to meet his gaze. “You are special to me, Jazzy Walker. I want you to know that.”

Tears pressed against her eyes, surprising her. “Thank you.”

“I feel like you’re a dream I never even dared dream.”

“Oh, Roan, I feel the same.”

Gently, he kissed her forehead, then the spot between her eyebrows before moving to the tip of her nose and her lips.

When his mouth fully closed over hers, they both groaned. She slipped her arms around his neck and pulled his head down, drinking him in.

With his hot hands all over her body and her lips tingling from his kisses, Jazzy could scarcely breathe.
