“Amazing,” I whisper.
Cullen slides his hands up my back until he touches my shoulders.
“Anything for you, love,” he says.
I look back at him.
I start to turn, ready to make my move and make it known what I want from him.
“Jaci,” he whispers, as though he can read my thoughts.
“Cullen,” I say.
“Play a song for me.”
It’s weird.
I feel more vulnerable sitting on the edge of the bed playing guitar for Cullen than I would if I stood naked before him.
Him hearing me sing makes me more nervous than his eyes staring at my nude body.
I almost feel like putting the guitar down and just getting naked.
There. Perfect distraction!
I strum the guitar and look around the room.
I notice outside the window the sun is already looking ready to set.
The days are getting shorter by the minute.
Which means the nights are longer. Colder.
There’s a feel to all of this.
Cullen takes out his phone, turns on the flashlight and begins to wave his arm over his head.
Smiling at me.
I laugh.
And then I decide to just give it up and sing to him.
I’m not very good.
Or maybe I am.
I don’t know.
I play the same song I sang withPawn Charmsince it’s all fresh in my mind.
I only sing the first verse and the chorus.
Then I abruptly stop and stand up.
“There,” I say. “Anything else and it’ll cost you.”
Cullen turns the flashlight off on his phone and steps closer to me. “Name your price, love.”
