“I wasn’t ready to take that chance,” she admitted.
“And when we saw each other at Torie’s wedding? What really happened there, Vanna? By that time, IknewI was attracted to you. I think you felt that connection, too. But you ran away and broke my heart.”
She shrugged and ran a gentle hand through my hair. “I got scared. I thought I was imagining it, and I didn’t want to lose the only people who were like family to me. I didn’t think you’d ever really see me as anything else except Torie’s best friend. And you know I didn’t break your heart.”
“Oh, I saw you,” I informed her. “And I’m not gonna lie, I was a little heartbroken. You took off that day like just the thought of spending time with me was off-putting, and you hadn’t even seen my scars. It was pretty deflating.”
“I’m sorry,” she said regretfully. “I had no idea you offered for any reason except sympathy that I was on my own in Vegas.”
“And if you had known that wasn’t the reason?” I asked huskily.
Our eyes locked and hers were full of a romantic affection that made my chest ache as she answered, “I’m not exactly sure. By that time, I wanted to be with you so much that I might have thrown caution to the wind. I almost did. If I’d known you felt the same way, it might have been different. I wasn’t really worried about Torie not approving. She’s been begging me to take one of her brothers off her hands for a long time.”
I raised a brow. “Has she really? Wyatt, too?”
Hell, I didn’t like that idea. At all.
“Absolutely,” she said with a smile. “Whichever one I was willing to take. She wasn’t picky.”
“Brat!” I grunted with very little animosity. “She didn’t need to offer up Wyatt, too. I don’t think I would have handled that very well.”
“I adore Wyatt. But there was always only one Durand brother that I really wanted,” she purred, her voice suddenly as sultry as a temptress.
“Which one?” I asked gruffly.
Yeah. Okay. Maybe it was pathetic that I was asking for reassurance, but I was still stunned that Vanna wanted me at all after seeing all the damage my body had suffered.
I tensed as she moved her hand down my body and wrapped her fingers around my stiff cock.
“The slightly cocky, argumentative, gorgeous one with a very large appendage that I desperately want to taste right now,” she whispered against my ear.
“Dammit, Vanna,” I groaned as she stroked me. “I wanted to discuss what happened to you today.”
I honestly did, but I’d known I was screwed the minute she’d wrapped those clever fingers around me.
Not that I was complaining.
But I didn’t want to talk about me anymore.
I needed to make sure she was okay with the stuntDeadline Americahad pulled today.
She nipped my ear, and ran her tongue down the side of my neck as she murmured, “Later. I’m busy with somethingveryimportant right now.”
I swallowed hard and closed my eyes, knowing that every day that I’d waited for this woman was all worth it.
Being adored by Savannah Anderson was mind-blowingly incredible, and I was still a little worried that I was in the middle of some fucking fantastic dream.
“Ride me,” I ordered roughly.
“You’re not getting your way. Not this time,” she argued as her mouth skittered across my chest. “My turn to get to know this gorgeous body.”
Jesus!That was likely to kill me.
“Vanna,” I cautioned, my voice heavy with lust.
“Up,” she insisted.
I pulled myself onto the edge of the hot tub, my lower legs still in the water.
