Chapter 40
Gabrielle
I’d slept like a baby that night and most every night since.
After that night four weeks ago, Brodie and I now shared his larger room.
I’d moved all my clothes and stuff into his closet.
He had the master bedroom of the house, and it was twice as large as the one I’d been staying in so it had been a no-brainer.
I loved sleeping in Brodie’s arms. He always made me feel sexy and special at the same time.
Never once with him had I ever had thoughts of not being good enough, or that I might be tainted because of what had happened when I was a child.
He loved me and everything he did showed me.
Even the tiniest things like bringing me coffee in the morning or letting me pick which movie we watched.
Of course, every other movie I picked would be a guy one anyway; I loved those just as much as the chick flicks.
The news about Brodie and I spread like wildfire around the bar and the town thanks to Jackson and Lena.
Everyone was shocked at first, knowing the way Brodie had been over the past couple of years.
I’m sure there were a lot of unhappy women around town that I didn’t want to get anywhere near.
Though, I was surprised that none ever bothered to call.
I asked Brodie about that one day, and he told me that they’d probably never called him because he’d never given his number out.
Smart man. I couldn’t help feeling sorry for some of them, but he assured me that they had used him just as much as he’d used them.
I wasn’t sure if it bothered me that my boyfriend’s body was well known by almost every woman in the town of Turtle Lake and beyond.
I decided not to think about it, since that Brodie no longer existed.
