She stilled, her eyes going wide. “What?”
Goddamn it.
Opening his mouth to tell her to ignore him, he said something else, instead. “I love you. And I don’t care if you don’t love me back. I’ll find a way to make you eventually, because I’m too stubborn not to. And don’t think I’m walking out the door, either. You invited me back to this town, and into your home, and your life, so you’re just going to have to accept that I’m fucking staying now.” Digging his fingers into her ass, he pulled her down to his lap, letting her feel how much he wanted her. “Here. I belong here.” Lifting his hand, he pressed it to her luscious breast, over her heart. “Especially here. So get used to me, because I’m yours now.”
“But your job— “
A glare darkening his face. “My job can be done from anywhere. And if you start looking for reasons not to be with me, you’re going to piss me off, Shay. Because it’s too late for that. You sealed your fate with me by being the person who’d sacrifice everything to keep the people she loves safe.” When she just continued to stare at him, he cursed and closed his eyes. “Okay, I’m done with the flowery shit. Just tell me you love me, please. I don’t care if it’s a lie— “
“I love you, Tyler Wade.”
He opened one eye as his heart seized up in his chest, making it hard to breathe. “Never mind. I do care if you lie. Please don’t be lying.”
“Not lying.” Leaning down, she kissed his closed eye, his nose, his cheek, before her lips slid over his. “I don’t even know when it happened, just that I can’t breathe without needing you near me. Okay? I love you. I love you so damn—”
He cut her off with his desperate mouth, devouring whatever else she was going to say, because he’d heard everything he needed. Who the hell knew what the future held, but he didn’t care. She loved him. She’d ruined him. And as long as she agreed to keep him, he was never, ever going to complain.
The End.
