Probably not.
Would it kill me when she decided to walk away and keep me stored in the friend zone?
Maybe…
But I’d hate it even more if I wasn’t spending time with her right now.
She was vulnerable at the moment, and having her right next to me appeased my desire to make sure she was safe and happy.
“You’re so full of shit,” Vanna challenged. “If you met the right woman, you’d bend over backward to make her happy, Chase. I know you would. You’ve spoiled me rotten, and I’m not your love interest.”
Christ!Did she reallynotknow thatshewas the only woman I’d ever wanted this badly?
If not, I really did deserve an Academy Award for my performance.
“I wouldn’t know,” I said noncommittally as I opened the passenger door of my Ferrari and waited for her to get in.
She hesitated, and then promptly threw herself into my arms.
I caught her and held her soft, warm body against mine as I closed my eyes.
It wasn’t the first time she’d done this, but it caught me off-guard every single time.
“Thank you for the earrings,” she said softly near my ear. “Thank you for this week. Thank you for being here for me. I’m not feeling quite as lost as I did a few days ago.”
I gritted my teeth, not sure if it was a curse or a blessing that she didn’t pull away immediately.
I wrapped my arms around her and held her tightly against my body, relishing the smell of her subtle perfume and the way her gorgeous body fitted perfectly against mine.
Jesus!She was making me completely crazy, but I seemed to relish the torture.
“You know it’s my pleasure, Vanna.” I meant that literally.
Nothing in the world felt as good as holding her.
Yeah, I could think of a few things that might feel even more satisfying, but I wasn’t about to contemplate the impossible.
Honestly, I just wanted to enjoy whatever time I could spend with her. I’d have plenty of time to wallow in my misery after she was gone.
Granted, if I could get my dick to agree to that plan, thingswouldbe a lot easier.
Not only did Vannanotseem as affected by these spontaneous gestures of affection as I was, but there were other reasons why we’dneverend up burning up the sheets together.
There were times when I actually forgot about that when I was with her, or when she was this damn close to me.
I totally lost all rational thought when it came to Vanna, but I had to be realistic.
I had no choice but to loosen my grip when she pulled back, smiled at me, and kissed me on the cheek.
I nearly groaned with frustration.
“What’s on the agenda for tomorrow?” she asked.
“Today isn’t over yet,” I reminded her.
She lifted a brow. “Are you trying to tell me that you don’t have the day planned?”
I did, but only because I’m a glutton for punishment, apparently.
