I went to the hospital seeking relief from my physical pain, and life, with its unpredictable turns, led me to Liam. Now, with him here, his taste on my lips, I don't want him to ever leave.

Our kiss deepens, his rough hand finding a home on my leg, and I can't help but let out a soft moan. The hand begins a slow, leisurely exploration, inching upwards.

Usually, I'd insist on taking it slow, but tonight, everything's different. My body yearns for him, craving his touch with an intensity that leaves me breathless.

We both bear the scars of our past, wounds that are still raw. We're perfect for each other, two halves of a broken whole that can help each other heal. But right now, it's not about healing. It's about releasing the pent-up frustration, the steam that's been building up within us.

He breaks the kiss, his eyes searching mine.

"Are you okay?" he asks, his voice husky.

I've never been better. The thought surprises me with its intensity. I grab his hand, pulling it further and guiding him to where I want him to be.

"I'm more than okay," I assure him.

His smile in response is all the encouragement I need. He leans in once more, his lips finding the sensitive skin of my neck. His wet kisses send shivers of desire down my spine, awakening a part of me that has been sleeping for far too long.

The rush of desire is like a dam breaking, a flood of sensations that leaves me drenched and gasping. I shrug off the jacket, the chill of the night forgotten in the heat of the moment.

My hands move to the rest of Liam's shirt, the buttons offering little resistance to my impatient fingers. Tonight, we're not going to hold back. Tonight, it's just Liam and me and the passion that's threatening to consume us.

My fingers brush against the hard planes of his chest, and I toss his shirt away, my fingers tingling from the contact.

Even in the dim light, I can see the faint outline of his chiseled abs, the impressive six-pack that any man would envy. His broad shoulders and well-defined pecs give off an aura of strength and security.

To me, he seems like a sanctuary, a safe haven. His muscular form promises protection, a home for my heart.

I swallow, my mouth suddenly dry, and place my hands on his toned chest. I can feel his heart thundering beneath my palms, its rhythm matching my own. The heat radiating off him is intoxicating, compelling me to voice my thoughts.

"You're so hot, Liam," I blurt out, unable to stop myself.

He laughs, a low, husky sound that sends a shiver down my spine.

"I still train every day," he admits, "I guess I like to be ready for anything."

It's another echo of his past, the soldier's instincts still deeply ingrained. My heart clenches for him and all he's been through. I lean into him, my cheek brushing against the roughness of his beard.

"You don't have to face it alone anymore, Liam," I whisper.

He looks at me, his eyes serious.

"You don't know what you're signing up for, Kate. Some days might be too much."

I shoot back instantly, "I'm a grown woman, Liam. I can make my own decisions. And I choose to give this a chance."

He studies me, his gaze intense.

"Are you willing to do that much for a man you just met?"

"Maybe I am crazy," I say, "but something tells me you're worth it."

Something shifts in Liam's gaze at my words. His green eyes glint as he cradles my face in his hand, his touch sending a fresh wave of desire through me. Then, with a swift movement, he pulls me back into his embrace, his lips meeting mine with a passion that leaves me breathless.

I can't help but wonder what this unleashed side of him has in store for me. All I know is; I'm ready to find out.

Chapter 8 - Liam

Her words still echo in my mind as our lips meld together, a harmonious dance that sends shockwaves of electricity pulsing through my veins. I don't have to go through anything alone anymore. It's a promise, a declaration.
