His hand settles on my hip.

“You were soaked through. Scared. Looking at me like you didn’t know whether to run or trust me.”

His fingers tighten.

“And I was thinking about turning you around, putting your hands on this wall, and fucking you until you understood exactly what you do to me.”

Heat rolls through me.

“Oh.”

His eyes come back to mine.

“I wanted you so bad I had to get away from you.”

That does something dangerous to my pulse.

“And now?”

“Now I’m done walking away.”

Something hot and reckless rises inside me.

Gavin goes very still.

“What did you say?”

“You heard me.”

His hand closes around my hip.

“Hannah.”

I smile.

“Prove it.”
