An unnerving quiet thickened the space.
He pulled me in closer until only two inches stood between us.
“Say it,” he said in a low voice.
Shock coursed through my veins.
“What do you want me to say?” I shifted my focus to his broad shoulders. Since he’d taken his jacket off, I could now see the muscles in his arms stretching his white shirt.

The things I could do with that amount danced in my head—pay school loans, get a new car, help my mom raise my nieces and nephews, finally present my other roommate/best friend the rent money I’d never been able to give her since we’d moved into our place a year ago.
I centered all of my attention on Chase and displayed what I hoped to be a self-assured smile. “You are my god.”
