“I thought you deserved something good.” She told me. “I wanted to take your mind off the last few weeks and focus on me.”
“I will always focus on you.”
“That’s not what I meant, Storm.” She stepped around me to press her body intimately against my back. “I wanted to tell you something, but I didn’t know how to.”
Shifting backward to get her body even closer to me, I sighed.
“You can tell me anything.” I managed, her body and smell taking my control.”
“I don’t know if you still want this.” Taz walked around again to sit in front of me. “After what I did to Sheriff, the anger you’ve seen in me. I just want you to know I’d never hurt you like that—ever.”
I framed her cheeks and leaned in.
“I never thought you would.” I replied. “I know why that happened.”
“Storm I—”
Taz bowed her head.
“You’ve trusted me with your life, Taz.” I pointed out to her. “There isn’t much else—”
“I love you.”
I blinked.
“Wait—what?”
“Oh, God!” Taz buried her face in her palms. “This is a dumpster fire.”
Smiling, I took her arms and gently pulled her hands away from her face.
“Say it again.” I told her.
“Why?” Taz asked. “So, I can embarrass myself again? What was I—”
I kissed her.
“Storm!”
“Say it again.” I pleaded.
“But—”
Another kiss.
“Say it again,wãan-jai.”
She stopped, slid in close until she was pressing intimately against me. Holding my breath, I allowed her to lift my head until our eyes met.
“C¯h?n r?k khu?, na.” Her voice trembled.
Hugging her tightly, I kissed the side of her head.
“I love you too.” I replied, still embracing her. “I’ve loved you for a very long time. I was only waiting for you to catch up.”
“Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“I didn’t want to scare you.” I admitted. “I’m younger than you. And you seemed hell-bent on not letting a man close to you.”
