we’re on each other’s team…
No plans. The idea of living with no plan, no promise—it seemed like a release from everything she has ever known. The promise of a heart not broken, a balm for the shattered soul that threatened to drown her in the ocean of her own tears. Alek seemed to be the escape, the restart—and it was one that Reagan intended to take.
To dive in deep to get to know the man who was willing to take her head on, on nothing more than a heady attraction. Something. It was intangible, and Reagan could not place her thoughts on what exactly it was about him. Maybe it was his eyes, or the way he was not afraid to wrap her up inside himself. She didn’t have to be the powerful one. In him, she could hide. She could be something she’d never been before—just a woman.
The thought was so intoxicating, she found her face and posture softening and melting into him as he brought down his neck to lean into her caress. When she had finally brought herself around to meet his gaze again, it was with a serious, assured gaze. Let me make you happy tonight he’d growled into her ear. You deserve that.
She could not help herself. With one last push of Ruan upon her heavy heart, she mentally kissed him goodbye, and cleared her thoughts to settle on the dark stranger in front of her. She was ready for something different—a new story. A new chance. In a breath, she was back to the grey mare that he had encountered earlier in the woods, her green eyes flashing the wildly tangled woman who was daring to be unleashed. The wolf that wanted to run… To sweat. To revel in the adrenaline rush. She takes a breath, and drops her hackles and rolls her shoulders back. Her long hair pulls back from her face, and for the moment, she is serious. She takes one step, and then two…
“Please be tender with my bruised heart…because I need you tonight.”
