I could tell I’d caught him off guard. Hell! I had caught myself off guard.
The tears wet my cheeks, but I was staring back at him with the same amount of surprise showing in his expression. Things had definitely taken a different turn, and I wasn’t sure if I was okay with where this was going.
Did I really want to know?
My bottom lip trembled as I came to the realization I was about to get my heart ripped out a second time by him because of my stupid question. I’d let my fiery temper and unfiltered mouth get the better of me.
I could tell Nate wanted to touch me, desperately. Not in a s****l way, just in a reassuring way. Like holding my hand or snuggling me safely in his arms. Somehow, he refrained and I was a little bit disappointed.
Damn it!
My emotions, feelings and need
