He gives me a lopsided smile. “It means you trust me enough to show me who you really are.”
I melt against him.
He's already keeping his promise.
I should be terrified after letting someone see this much of me.
Instead... I've never felt safer.
The look on his face tells me he’ll spend the rest of his life trying to make up for the hurt he caused.
Claws scamper across the floor, and I don’t even get a chance to move before Luna leaps, claws digging into my pants leg.
“Ow. Luna,” I say with a laugh.
Before I can grab her, Drew pulls her from my pants and hands her to me.
She practically leaps into my arms, purring like she hasn’t seen me in days.
“I missed you, too,” I murmur, rubbing her ears.
She stares up at me. Like she’s afraid if she looks away, I’ll leave again.
“She missed you almost as much as I did,” Drew says, his voice raspy.
My eyes meet his.
“You have no idea how much I missed you.” I smile at him. “But I wasn’t letting you go that easily.”
He glances over at the suitcase, a smirk on his lips. “I expect nothing less. Stalker.”
I laugh, feeling lighter than I have all day. “So you’ve made peace with it?”
He takes Luna from me and sets her on the couch. Then he pulls me into his arms.
“I’ve fully accepted it.”
“Even the stalking?”
He smiles. “Especially the part where you care about me so much you’re terrible at hiding it.”
I laugh, my hands curling in the back of his hair.
Then his lips are on mine, sealing his words with a promise.
I moan against his mouth, my hips grinding against his hardness. His moan is the sexiest thing I’ve ever heard.
He pulls away and looks deep in my eyes. “I love you, Violet.”
My breath catches. “I love you, Drew.”
And then he kisses me like he’ll die if he doesn’t taste me right now.
I cling to him, never wanting to let him go again.
He breaks the kiss, desire burning in his eyes. “I need you, Violet. All of you.”
I whimper. “Yes. I need you, too.”
