“You don’t have to apologize, darlin’. Not to me. Just tell me what’s going on in your head.”

“I’m just afraid that all you see when you look at me now is what happened.”

Jackson cupped my face, kissing my forehead before he dropped his to rest on the spot he kissed. “Darlin’, I love you. And I’ll admit, I was having issues with seeing you when I looked at you. Not because I was seeing what he did but because all I could see was what I failed to do. I worked through a lot of shit while I was at Morgan’s, and I’ve come to realize something. That moment, it doesn’t define us. Not in my mind. Not anymore. What I see when I look at you is my gorgeous, brown-eyed girl. That girl that knocked me on my ass the first time I laid eyes on her.”

“Funny, that’s what I see when I look at you,” I said with a smile.

“We might need to have Liam and Tammy look into that if you’re seeing a gorgeous, brown-eyed girl when you look at me.”

His face was serious, but I could see the mischievousness in his eyes. I rolled my eyes at him. “Haha. I meant when I look at you, I see the guy that stole my heart the first time I laid eyes on him.”

Jackson sighed dramatically. “Shew. That’s a relief. I thought you’d been brain damaged.”

I shoved him away from me as I laughed. “Go get the luggage. We’ve got packing to do.”

Jackson smiled, pulling me back to him and kissing me deeply before walking away. “I’ll send Marcie up to you.”

I called after him. “Send Ava and Olivia, too! I’m going to need all the help I can get.”

The plane touched down in Nashville early the following day. We were cutting it close. The awards ceremony was tonight, and I still had no clue what I was wearing. However, Marcie, Ava, and Olivia told me they would handle it.

I was shocked when I noticed that instead of heading to a hotel, we went to the house we’d stayed in before being abducted. I loved the house and the grounds it sat on, but wasn’t this a security issue?

“Umm, is this going to be safe?” I asked as we walked up to the front door.

“Yes,” a deep voice said from the shadows at the corner of the house.

I jumped, startled, gasping. My hand flew to my chest.

“Dammit, Brock. You scared me,” I said.

He chuckled. “That’s on you, tiny. You didn’t check your surroundings. You’ve gotta learn to keep your head on a swivel, Katie.”

He came up to Jackson and me, leaning down to kiss my cheek before shaking Jackson’s hand. “Let’s get you all inside. They don’t seem like the sniper type to me, but I’m not chancing that shit.”

Jackson swore. “Fuck, dude, as if I needed something else to worry about.”

Brock looked over his shoulder, the laughter from a moment ago wiped from his face. “Just keepin’ it real.”

I followed Jackson as he carried our luggage to the bedroom. I stopped at the foot of the bed while Jackson went into the closet to drop the suitcases. I ran my hand across the mattress. The last night in this bed came rushing back to me.

Everything throbbed.

My heart raced.

I panted; My breaths were short and shallow.

The low, groany moan that vibrated in my throat echoed in my ear.

Pushed onto my stomach, Jackson’s body covered mine as his cock pushed into me. It hurt so good. Who knew pain could feel good?

I gasped with every thrust.

I clawed at the sheets as he talked dirty to me.

His voice vibrated his chest against my back.

“You love taking my cock, don’t you sugar?”
