I hate that he's seen me like this, hate that I'm so weak when all he knows are strong women. I hadn't been asleep as long as he thought, I'd just been lying there enjoying for the first time the feel of his arms around me, that strong body making me feel safe and warm.
I'd heard part of what the others were saying when they were here before, heard Ty warn them that the guy was his. I didn't want that, didn't want him or any of them getting into trouble because of me.
"Here open." I opened my mouth as best I could because I knew he wouldn't stop. I've been studying him for the past few months, ever since that night when I saw him for the first time, and I knew he was as stubborn as they come. I should know; I have the bruised pride and broken heart to prove it.
