Her fucking father.

When I’d gotten that message, I’d wanted to go over to her father’s house and rip his head off.

But I’d spent enough time away from her. I wasn’t adding any more time to the list because of her father.

“We’ve wasted a lot of years,” she said, standing up.

I felt my heart start to pound.

“We have,” I confirmed.

Years I hadn’t wanted to waste.

Years that we couldn’t get back.

Years that had been torture.

She moved slowly toward me, and I, for once, felt what it was like to be the prey.

By the time she reached me, standing toe to toe, I felt like my heart would fly right out of my chest.

“I’m tired of wasting my life,” she said. “I want you.”

I want you.

Three simple words.

The only three words I needed.

Between one breath and the next, we were in each other’s arms.

Seconds later, I was striding down the length of my hallway toward my stairs, then up toward my bed.

Seconds after that, I was falling with her to the mattress, clothes flying, and things were progressing very fast.

“I don’t…” she said as she pushed me away slightly, both of us panting from our kisses. “I haven’t slept with anyone else.”

“Thank fucking God,” I growled.

“And since I haven’t done that, I don’t know if I’ll pass out,” she admitted.

The thought stilled me.

“I don’t think I will. When I’m sitting or lying, I never pass out,” she confessed. “But you don’t have to stop if…”

I laughed at her. “I’m not going to keep going when you’re passed out.”

She smiled. “I don’t mind.”

“I don’t mind,” I said.
