“Yes, that. And because I needed to be close to you after everything that happened. The idea of anything happening to you . . .”
Ethan trailed off and she straightened, placing her hands on his shoulders to lean in and kiss him. “Nothing happened to me.”
“But it could have,” he said. “And that’s unacceptable. Nothing can happen to you. Nothing.”
There was a fierceness to his voice that took her by surprise. But then she remembered how protective he was. And what had happened to his sister all those years ago. If he could protect strangers for a job, what would he do for someone he actually cared about?
That would be something truly special.
She’d experienced a bit of it yesterday. But she wanted more. Craved it.
“I promise I’m fine. You don’t need to worry.” She didn’t want him to give himself an ulcer.
“I’ll keep you safe, baby.”
It sounded like a vow.
And she wanted to sink into it. Let him surround her in safety.
Forever.
It was scary and yet not at the same time. Because it felt almost like it was meant to be.
Logically, she knew that was crazy. She didn’t believe in things like fate.
Until she met him.
“Can I take these off?” she asked, tugging at his jeans.
“You better.”
She unzipped them with hands that shook. “I don’t know why I’m shaking.”
“You’re sure you’re not cold?” he asked sharply. “Why doesn’t Rhodes have the heating up more in here?”
“I’m fine. Believe me, the last thing I am is cold.” She moved to the side so he could take off his jeans.
She could see his thick erection pressing against the material of his black boxers.
Holy. Heck.
“Sweetheart? Are you all right?”
She licked her lips.
He said he wanted honesty. He dropped his hands to her hips.
“Well, you realize that I’m a bit inexperienced.”
He raised an eyebrow. “A bit?”
“All right, pretty much completely inexperienced.” She really wished she had taken the opportunity to do some online research.
“But is it meant to be this big?”
He glanced down at his dick. Then he grinned. “You’re worried that my dick is too big?”
“I think it’s going to break my jaw.”
