Lucas Carmical had captured my heart too and I wanted him to know it I wanted everyone to know it I love the flowers I love the poetry I love that you are thinking of me I love your motorcycle I love your club I love the fact that you want me to be a part of your life But more than flowers and motorcycles and clubs and friends and poetry- I love you

I quickly sent the e before I chickened out and laid my phone onit twice on the floor before e waiting for me I can’t wait to hear you say those words to Me that’s it? He wasn’t going to say it back? Sure, he had said that I captured his heart, but I thought he would tell me he loved me Lindsey walked in, sawI quickly told her the whole story

“Maybe he wants to tell you in person,” she said s

“You think?” I asked hopeful She shrugged

“Maybe Your one o’clock is here a little early You want me to send them in?”

In the doorway, he stood tall, breathtakingly gorgeous, and all man His jeans were faded and worn His solid white t-shirt was loose in the waist but tight around his array and orange patches he wore stood out against the blackness behind thenature sht up the whole room Today was the first time I had ever seen him in a hat It was black and turned backwards with the letters DFFD e on it This wasHe stepped in and closed the door behind him I could see Lindsey and Terri,open mouthed into the room

“Tellatand the hair on the back ofup How did he have this effect on me?

“Tell you what?” I asked, more breathy than I had intended His eyebrows shot up and a surprised look crossed his face

“Forgotten already? Or did the flowers just inspire you to say soaoing to get his wish I was going to tell him the truth I did love him and if he refused to say it in return, well that was a risk I illing to take

Shit What was happening to ht in front of me His hands found my face and he tilted my head back to trail kisses downheavy My body was on fire, and so was ive a confession as ive this one

“I love you Luke I think I loved you from the first time I laid eyes on you No one has ever made me feel the way that you do” His continuous kisses across my neck and throat were pure torture God, I loved this man When I was in his arms, whether it was in a bar, or a bed or my office, I felt like it was the safest place in the world He was my universe His eyes met mine and I knew in that moment that whether he said it or not, he loved me Love for me consumed him His eyes told the story They were filled with love and passion and need, just for me I was cherished by this man He kissed me hard The need to touch ue Every nerve in led and my stomach was full of butterflies Would it always be like this? Yes, it would There was no way I could ever tire of this man or his touch
