“A virgin, yes.”
“No,” I say.
He nods. “Yes.”
“But…” I blink twice. “How? You’re Fox Fitzpatrick.”
“So?”
“So…” I scoff. “You’re a stud.”
He laughs. “I dated a lot, sure, but…” He looks at me and his smile slowly fades. “I never really wanted any of them in that way.”
I bite my inner cheek. “Not even Trudy Michaels?”
“Especially not Trudy Michaels.”
“Well… why not?”
Fox lowers his hand from the door. “Because I wanted someone else,” he says. “Someone I wasn’t sure I wanted until it was too late to have her.”
He shifts forward and takes my hand. Sparks travel up my fingers, racing toward my elbow as my knees nearly give out beneath me.
“Oh,” I say, swallowing hard.
His other arm curls around me like always. “Sorry if that’s not what you were expecting,” he says.
“No, no. It’s… fine.”
He smiles. “I tried to stop. I tried to shut it off and ignore it, but I can’t.” He looks at my lips, his eyes dark and full of heat. “It’s always been you, Dani.”
I tremble, drawn to him like a magnet. His hand grazes my chin, tilting my face closer to his. I relax. I lean forward. I feel his kiss all the way in the depths of my heart.
I’d carry it with me as we lied down on his bed and undressed each other.
I’d cling to it the next day when his suitcase went missing and his car was gone.
I’d keep it safe in me until the day he died.
