CHAPTER 21
Kylie
“He said he couldn’t see any other woman except me,” I muttered as I slapped some moisturizer on my face after taking a shower. “Do you really think that’s true?”
I eyed Jake like he was actually going to answer, but he just continued to look at me with what I wanted to perceive as sympathy from his spot on the bathroom rug.
“You really do listen well, but you’re absolutely no help,” I told the canine. “You adore the man as much as I do, so I suppose you’re not unbiased, either.”
I fluffed my still-damp hair and flipped the bathroom light off as I exited, still not exactly sure what to do.
I’d turned the words that Dylan had said over and over in my mind, and my brain was still reeling.
We’d watched the sunset in silence, but I’d felt the tension in his body as I’d leaned back against him, and the quiet between the two of us hadn’t been as easy as it usually was.
I’d wanted to ask questions, but I’d been too afraid that I was reading more into his words than he’d actually said.
But how can that be true?
What else could he have possibly meant?
I took a sip of the bottled water on the nightstand and then flopped onto the bed.
The truth was, I knew that Dylan had feelings for me.
He’d made that perfectly clear.
The question was…did I dare explore this relationship the way I really wanted to delve into it?
I was crazy about Dylan in a way I’d never experienced before.
Not with my husband.
Not with a boyfriend.
Not with any man I’d ever known.
The two of us were connected in a way I didn’t understand and wasn’t comfortable with, either.
But God, I wanted that kind of bond, even though it was terrifying.
I wanted to be close to him with a desperation that was almost physically painful, but Dylan Lancaster was such an unknown to me.
If and when he lost interest in me, would I even be able to survive it?
Shit! Shit! Shit!
When had I become this frightened female who was obsessed with tomorrow? Or the next day? Or next week?
What had happened to the Kylie who tried to stay in the present?
Dammit!I hadn’t been the same since I’d met Dylan Lancaster.
That other Kylie flew the coop the moment I realized that Dylan was like no man I’d ever known, and that he was capable of destroying my heart.
I let out a sigh as I rested against the headboard.
Wasn’t I the one who had told Nicole that she might regret it if she didn’t take a chance on Damian?
