With her gorgeous red hair, that tipped-up nose, and her body.
God.
He wanted to take her badly.
Remington had never wanted anything as much in his life, but he needed that sign.
He needed the universe to promise him that he wouldn’t end up in the same boat ever again.
He couldn’t do it.
Remington remembered the pain of finding Karen and Kelsy, and he couldn’t go back there.
Even if he wanted Calyx.
He craved her to the point it was eating away at him, making him a shell of a human being.
When she’d told him two weeks ago that she’d wait for him to work it out…
That astounded him.
All it would take was one more thing to move them closer and he’d have zero control.
As he sat in a chair in a dark corner, his hood was up, and he was watching the door that led down from her apartment upstairs.
What he wanted was to go up, find her, and take her back to bed.
What he could do…
God.
Was wait.
The whole time, he prayed for control, somehow knowing that wasn’t going to be the case. The people he trusted most in the world had almost convinced him that this woman, the broken soul like his own, was the right one.
Could they be right?
Could he be that lucky?
Well, it appeared that he was going to find out. It wasn’t long before he heard her coming down the stairs into The Underground.
Glancing at his watch, she was right on time.
See…
Calyx had a routine. She’d come down, set the till, and get the place ready to open at eleven on Mondays. This was the one day of the week she allowed herself the luxury of sleeping in.
Just the thought of her warm and rumpled from sleep sent chills across his body.
His erection throbbed the second she stepped through the doorway, and it took all he had to not moan when he saw her.
Calyx looked so damn feminine.
That called to him.
She was in a pretty dress, wicked heels, and her hair was down, swishing behind her as she walked.
His gaze traveled down her body enjoying the curve of her breast, the same with her hips as he tracked her.
