This was it It was now or never

Pausing outside her tent, Taylor sed the lump in her throat and turned toward the man who’d become so important in such a short amount of time

“I don’t want tonight to end,” she whispered “Not yet”

She wasn’t sure what she expected, but so at her, then closing his eyes

“I want you, Jack”

His lashes lifted, revealing tormented blue eyes

Uncertainty hit her

“I” She paused, not sure what to say Not sure why he looked torn

He rested his forehead against hers “Yo

u have no idea how much it means to hear you say that”

She could hear in his whisper that what he said was true Her words had affected him

“But I’ in your tent with you”

Her heart pounded Was she so terrible at seduction? Should she have started kissing hi him what she wanted? Should she have just held his hand, unzipped her tent, and led him inside?

“Not because I don’t want to,” he continued His voice was so low she could barely make out his words “But because I want to so much”

Taylor wanted to flip on her phone’s flashlight and put hiht so she could better see his face “That doesn’t make sense”
