.But the truth was, letting herself feel emotions again, letting herself accept them from others, was what made her feel as if she could fly.They spent hours together in bed, sometimes holding one another, sometimes exploring, sometimes sharing the ultimate pleasures of life.But as the sun set, Nick tugged her up out of bed.He draped the sheet from the bed around her shoulders, and pulled on his boxers.Then they stepped out onto Bekki's back porch.As they stood on the porch looking out at the stars spread across the sky, Bekki could feel his hand gently caressing her lower back, massaging away the tension of the very eventful last few days.She had never felt any man touch her with such an impact as Nick had.Just a light rub was all she needed to feel completely relaxed and safe in his presence.She had been so fearful of falling in love again, but the truth was, if she really admitted it to herself, she had never fallen out of love with Nick.He had been the man that she compared all others to, and no one else had ever come close to holding a candle to him.As Nick pressed his lips gently against her cheek, she was reminded of the look in his eyes when he saw Trevor attempting to kiss her.It made her chest tighten to think that Nick had been hurt, in the way that she had felt when she discovered that Trevor was cheating on her.She realized in that moment that it wouldn't matter how long she waited.She was always going to be afraid of getting hurt again, because once you are hurt, it is not something that can completely heal.So she had a choice to make.She could continue to hold Nick at arm's length, never allowing him to truly be part of her life, or she could give in and see where it led.It was as much about what she wanted, as it was about what he deserved.He deserved a chance to prove himself to her, to show her that he truly meant it when he said that he loved her.If she kept that from him, then neither of them would ever know what might have been.The one thing she knew for certain was that she had to choose.She couldn't continue to string him along, under the premise that one day she might trust him.She had to decide whether she was all in, or not in at all.That meant risking hurting Nick, but it also meant preventing him from being heartbroken in the future, after he found that she was unwilling to let him in the way he so deeply desired to experience with her."Bekki," he murmured beside her ear.Her heart skipped a beat."Shh," he murmured as if he could hear every thought that was rolling through her mind."These stars belong to us," he said quietly and glanced at her as she turned her head slightly to look at him."That's something that will never change.I promised you I would be patient, and that's not going to change, but …"Bekki braced herself for the but, she doubted that it could be anything good."Yes?" Bekki asked, meeting his gaze as she turned in his arms so that they encircled her and drew her close against his chest."I can't see you with someone else," he said, his voice trembling slightly."I know that men today are supposed to be evolved and different.I know that I'm supposed to be secure, and fine with the fact that you have other interests, but Bekki I can't stand seeing you with Trevor.If he's your friend fine, but please, if it's not me, don't let it be him.He hurt you once, and I still hate him for it.I don't want to see him hurt you again."Bekki's eyes misted with tears of gratitude as she stared into Nick's dark green gaze.He could be so selfless.Even as he admitted to his need for her, he wasn't trying to claim her, he was just trying to protect her from what he was certain would lead to more hurt that he didn't want her to experience."Nick," she laughed slightly as a single tear slipped past her long lashes and trailed down her cheek."Don't be silly.""I'm not," he said with a frown, a flicker of frustration coloring his eyes as he tried to understand her words.She leaned up and abruptly but softly pressed her lips to his.Nick offered a quiet moan of surprise at the sudden act of affection.When she pulled away she gazed up into his eyes."It's always been you Nick," she admitted in a hushed whisper."It's only ever going to be you."The EndMore Cozy Mysteries by Cindy BellBekki the Beautician Cozy MysteriesHairspray and HomicideA Dyed Blonde and a Dead BodyHeavenly Highland Inn Cozy MysteriesMurdering the Roses [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
