“I was scared to death every time we started a mission.”
“But you did it anyway. That’s what makes you so brave. You have setbacks, but you just keep going.”
“Jacob, are you sure? Are you sure this is what you want? Me? All the shit I’ve been holding back and—”
“Yes. You. All of you.” He kissed me then. It was rough and unguarded. I opened for him, letting him take what he needed, letting him hold on to me. He became my anchor.
When the kiss ended, I met his gaze. “What Trey did to you… I don’t ever want you to feel like I’ve trapped you here.”
“I don’t. You told me that once I was safe, you would let me go.”
“I would have, but it would’ve hurt like hell, and I might not have been able to stop myself from tracking you down.”
“I want to be here, to be wanted by you, possessed by you. You’re nothing like Trey. You care about me. You care about your family. I’m not just a decoration to you.”
“Never. Jacob, you’re everything to me. You’re part of my family now, and nothing means more to me.”
Tears welled up in his eyes, and I brushed them away with my thumbs.
“Turn around,” he ordered.
I raised my brows.
“You heard me.”
“Don’t think I’m going to be following your orders all day,” I said with a smile.
Jacob huffed. “I know better but indulge me for now.”
“I was going to kiss you, be sweet and romantic, show you that I really do love you.”
“That’s making this about me. Remember what I told you?”
“I don’t know how to—”
“I’m going to help. Now turn around.”

JACOB
Grant did as I said, but I realized I was going to have to get used to this too. He was facing away from me, but I wanted him facing the wall. “That’s not what I meant.”
He spun in a full circle. “This?”
I rolled my eyes at him. “No. Put your hands on the wall and stick your ass out.” I stepped out of the way so he could.
“Are you sure I can trust you?”
I glared at him until he obeyed. I shivered as I remembered how good it had felt to be held against the wall with his body.
“That’s better. Now take off your pants.”
“I knew you were up to something.”
“Are you going to act like you don’t want to be naked with me?”
He looked over his shoulder and grinned. “I’d be happy to spend the rest of the year in bed naked with you.”
