She pulled aside the covers on his side of the bed, inviting hi I need to tell you," she said in a low voice "I’ve argued with myself over whether to even tell you, and aside froe how you felt about me or your desire to make love to me But you need to know You deserve to know so that you can back out if I’er so to throw so you into soripped hi to the point of pain She h she were a wanted criivable, and Swanny couldn’t iine either scenario in the least

He slid into bed next to her and automatically reached for her to try to soothe the unease he could see in her eyes She didn’t nestle into his side as he’d intended and instead moved closer but kept her head up so she could look hiently "I can guarantee whatever it is you’re stressing about isn’t going to change a da about the way I feel about you, and it daht now that if you so much as touched me I think I’d co her features

"The other concern hether you’d even believe me," she said in a quiet tone "Because with the way I’ve been with you, so forward and bold, I can’t iine you would even believe what I’m about to tell you"

I feel like we’re caught up in a modern Beauty and the Beast situation I’ly I’m scarred not just on my face but on my entire body How could you want soentled, and the look she gave hihten with e her lips over his, and then as she’d done once before, she slid hertender tiny kisses along every pucker and ridge

"You’re beautiful to me," she whispered "I don’t care what others think They’re idiots for not seeing beyond your scars to the heart of you The person I know you are As to how I could want soive you a cut-and-dried explanation It’s just there So about you stirs me in a way no other man has ever been able to ht before, and iven to just anyone But it feels right with you Perfect I knoithout any doubts that I want you to be ht to you, then I don’t want it to happen I don’t want to pressure you into soined wanting another woman," he admitted "I’m bloay by the way you seewhat I look like I won’t lie I’ beautiful and precious, and I worry that I won’t be able to give you what you deserve"
