CHAPTER 39
Jaxon
Iwatch the door long after Evan leaves.
I don’t like the way he looked at her. I don’t like the tightness in his voice. I don’t like the thought of him trying to talk her out of whatever this is.
I turn to her.
She looks small, shaken, beautiful.
“Come here,” I say softly.
She steps into my arms like she belongs there.
I hold her, not hungry not intense justholdher, letting her settle against my chest.
She melts.
I kiss the top of her head.
