He becomes quiet, vulnerable. His eyes soften.
And it takes my breath away.
“Then Ifeltsomething, and I’ve never felt anything. I’ve kissed you. I’ve slept in the same bed as you. I’ve broken all my rules, foryou, Sasha.”
There’s a glimmer in his eyes.
“Out of all the things in this world, you’re the only thing that truly terrifies me.”
“You hurt me,” I say, my voice cracking. Resting my hands on his chest, tears continue to stream down my face. There’s no holding them back. “I trusted you, Jaxon, and you hurt me.”
“I know, Sasha.” He leans his forehead against mine, and pulls me closer. “Don’t cry. I’m so fucking sorry.”
I whimper, taking my bottom lip between my teeth.
“With you, I’m different. You’re changing me. You’re changing my life,” he says, staring meaningfully into my eyes. “I want you on your good days, your bad days, and everything in between. I want to protect you from all the evil things in the world. I just wantyou. I want all of you.”
I cry out, sobbing. Happy. Sad. So confused.
“I—I don’t know what to say,” I stammer.
“Don’t say anything,” he replies, gently tucking a strand of wet hair behind my ear. “Just let me kiss you.”
My stomach quivers, and a shiver travels down my spine. “What?” I nearly whisper.
His arm circles around my back, and with the other he lightly cups my face with his hand. My body stiffens, and I’m on alert. My knees feel like they’re only moments away from giving out. My heart drums wildly.
Thump-thump. Thump-thump.
I can hear it.
Thump-thump. Thump-thump.
Feel it.
“Tell me to stop,” Jaxon groans, bringing me closer. “Just tell me to stop, and I will.”
Lifting my head, my eyes find his.
Thump-thump. Thump-thump.
Only, this time, it’s different. It’s unlike any stare we’ve ever shared. There’s vulnerability, an undying passion. A longing for more. Everything around us becomes a blur as I become lost in his eyes, only seeinghim.
His strong, chiseled jawline, and those full, pink lips. His dark brows, and thick lashes, surrounding those beautiful, blue irises I swear I fell in love with the first night we met.
My beautiful, smug, devious bastard.
He leans down, slowly, giving me all the time in the goddamn world to react.
To tell him no. To scream at him. To push him away.
Except, I don’t. I stand perfectly still, unable to move. To think. To breathe. Shutting my eyes, I give in to the unknown.
The inevitable.
Jaxon closes the space between us, and gently presses his lips against mine. This kiss is tender, sensual.
Beautiful.
