I can tell he wants to talk about et lost in his eainst er; it’s full of passion and intensity He’s co how important it is that I remembered his faracefully to rearrange ainst one another for a few minutes until I re my breath and stare into his crystal blue eyes that are swi in desire
“One day very soon, I have plans for you in this hot tub But noant you in the bed” He lifts ets the towels on the banister I hop down and wrap myself up while he does the same then leads me to the bedroom

Love, Cherish, Adore, Exquisite, Devine, A, Treasured, Beautiful, Extraordinary…
“Every single one of those notes has a word that describes how I feel about you I would have covered the walls with more of them, but I ran out of paper” He curls around me from behind and sets his chin on ether, I will tell you how important and loved you are You will never feel like the scared and abandoned twenty-one year old again”
“Reed—”
“No, Angel, you told o that there were three worst nights of your life and one hen your parents died I kno the other two have to do with ht like that if you stay with me”
“Where would I go?”
