Chapter 45
She slept.
Her head rested on my shoulder.
I fought back the tears that threatened to spill out of my eyes. Ev was safe and sound in my arms. Everything in the world felt right, for the first time in my entire stupid life.
How in the hell was I ever going to let her go?
The warmth of her softness against me was addicting. Her kiss was simultaneously soft and passionate, innocent and sexy, all at the same time. And her body. My god, her body was heaven on earth. She was all curves, all voluptuous beauty, complete perfection.
Every inch of her velvety skin was made for my fingertips.
My body buzzed as I held her close, listening to her soft moans, feeling her breasts rise and fall against my chest, her hair tickling my chin.
I’d always been a strong man. I’d never doubted that, not for a second. I’d had moments of weakness, sure, but I’d always persevered and found a way through whatever obstacles life threw at me.
But I knew, as I rested here with Ev lying in my arms like a fucking angel straight out of heaven, that I was never in a million years going to be able to find the strength to let this amazing woman go.
I knew I’d never stop until I could hold her like this every single day of my life.
