“Chase!” I screamed as my orgasm began to move through me so powerfully that it was almost frightening.
The pulsations were intense as I reached the pinnacle.
“Fuck!” Chase groaned as my release set off his own. “You’re mine, Vanna. Say it. I need you to tell me.”
“I’m yours, Chase,” I said obliging, panting my way through those words, my breath harsh and my emotions raw. “I have been for a very long time.”
That was a truth that made me realize that no matter how long it had taken, this kind of passion was always meant to be, but couldonlyhappen with him.
I collapsed into his strong form, trembling from the sheer force of what had just occurred.
I felt wrecked, but freer than I’d ever been in my entire life.
I laid my forehead against his shoulder and closed my eyes, my body still humming from the ferocity of my climax.
If this was what post-coital bliss felt like, I wanted to experience it over and over again.
“Okay?” Chase asked, his breathing still slightly ragged.
“More than okay,” I replied, not ready to move as I smiled.
“Baby, that was…” his voice trailed off like he didn’t quite know what to say.
“Unexplainable?” I suggested.
“Exactly,” he rasped.
Yep. This man got me—he really, really did.

“Are your scars the reason you blew me off whenever I asked if you wanted to use the hot tub with me?” Vanna asked as the two of us lounged lazily in my outdoor jacuzzi several hours later.
Luckily, Vanna had turned the oven to warm before she’d followed me upstairs, so we’d still had edible lasagna for dinner. We’d both devoured the food like we hadn’t eaten in weeks. Not surprising since we’d moved to the bed after the shower and hadn’t surfaced for hours.
I was certain we’d satisfied that ugly problem of her never being satisfied by a man. I wasn’t sure what kind of guywouldn’tcare about her pleasure, because watching her come was a beautiful thing that I could never get enough of myself. I’d wanted to see it over and over again.
“Yeah,” I confessed. “I don’t exactly get naked with women anymore. Haven’t in a long time.”
I had to admit that it was surreal to be nude in a hot tub again. Especially when I was holding the only woman I really wanted against my bare-assed naked body.
Hell, if I was dreaming, I hoped nobody ever woke me up again.
I still had a hard time believing that Vanna had accepted my scars like they didn’t even exist.
All this time, I’d been a fucking idiot to think she’d react any other way.
I knew her, yet I’d almost let my insecurities chase her away.
Her happy sigh washed over my battered soul like a healing balm as she said, “I wish you would have told me. I could have reassured you that you’re still the hottest man on the planet. Obviously, some other female missed that opportunity.”
I winced, but I confessed, “I tried dating about a year after I got out of the military. Without thinking about the possible consequences, I changed my shirt in front of the woman I was dating at the time because we were going out to dinner. She was so horrified that we never did make it to the restaurant.”
Vanna turned her body until she was straddling me on the seat and we were face-to-face. “She must have been a total nitwit,” she said in a scalding tone. “I’m not going to lie to you because you’ve never lied to me. Your scars are definitely visible, but I’m not sure what woman could resist the body underneath them. Are you going to tell me more about what happened?”
I threaded a hand through her hair and pulled her head down to kiss her because I couldn’t resist.Fuck!This woman could undo me with a couple of words.
She wasn’t filling me with a bunch of bullshit, either. I could see the genuine adoration in her eyes every time she touched me. And every fuck-me look she sent me made me absolutely insane.
