“Why doesn’t Cameron know about him, then?”
“I think it has something to do with my father. He told me that my mother asked him to protect me in case something happened to her.”
“No one will protect you better than I can,” he says and cups my face. I feel his possessiveness, the truth behind his words, in my heart.
“I told you so you can stop thinking I have something going on with him.”
His eyebrows draw together, a pensive look on his face.
The pilot interrupts our conversation to announce we’re about to land.
“We aren’t done talking.”
“I am. That’s all I had to say about him. Or are we going back to you being distrustful?”
“I shouldn’t have behaved like that.”
One apology and the illusion of one. Sweet progress.
I bend, kissing him and he says, “For years now, I’ve been used to everything going my way.”
“And I know there is another side of you, one that is decent.”
“So, I’m not decent?” Amusement cracks in the corners of his eyes.
“What you pulled yesterday with Sister Theodora was terrible.”
Kieran slides his fingers up my back to my neck and presses me to him. “That softer side of me, only you get. That is reserved for you and no one else. I don’t pretend to be someone I am not. I am the man that circumstances, choices, and perhaps fate made me become. But I fucking swear to be better for you.”
I force my tears back, my heart crying for the carefree boy from our childhood, the sweet one who would smile so brightly. In his place is this calloused, imperious man. I love the fact that he gives me this part of him, but if I can’t take him as the package he obviously is, then what?
We land and all I want is to put this day behind me.
Tamara is waiting for us at home, her eyes scanning us.
“How was it? Did you take pictures? What was your favorite destination?”
“We’ll tell you tomorrow. I am taking my wife to bed.”
I never thought words would be this powerful, but his weave some kind of spell over me.
“Good night.”
I nod, reassuring her that we’re okay.
In the shower, with water dripping down his muscular body, he asks, “Why did you tell me?”
I’d rather keep watching his body than have another serious conversation.
“You know you can touch my cock, do whatever you want with it. He’s yours now.” He winks at me.
I turn around and say over my shoulders, “That was the plan, but my husband wants to have another heart-to-heart talk.”
“Are you making fun of me?”
I giggle, but stop when he grabs the back of my neck.
“Where were we?”
