“Is that what you’re thinking? That I’ve been following you? Stalking you? You’re the one who came to me, Scarlett. The one who needed me, and I helped you, no questions asked.”
He had. He’d been there when she needed a friend most. But … he wasn’t a friend.
He’d always been more.
He leaned nearer. Their bodies brushed. Their mouths were so close. The anger that had been between them was changing. Shifting. Becoming something else entirely.
“I knew for years …” His words were a rumble. “Knew I should stay away from you. If I ever got close again, I understood what would happen.”
She didn’t understand. “What would happen?”
His eyes were on her mouth. “This.”
He lowered his head more, closed that last bit of precious distance between them and kissed her.
There were a million reasons why she should back away from him right then.
But her hands just rose up and curled around his shoulders to hold him tightly.

Epilogue
“You’re...leaving?” Scarlett Stone stared up at the man before her, aware that her heart was aching. Not aching...breaking.
“I have a new mission,” Grant McGuire told her, his deep voice strangely devoid of its usual warmth. “I head out tomorrow and I don’t know when I’ll be back.” The setting sun glinted off his blond hair. Grant... Tall, handsome, perfect Grant.
She’d graduated high school a few months ago. College awaited her. These days were supposed to be the start of a great new life. A new life she’d wanted to spend with him.
Grant was four years older than she was. Popular, confident, strong. He’d been in the army for the past few years, but he’d come to see her. Every time that he came home, he made certain he spent his days with her.
But he’s leaving again now.
His hand lifted and his calloused fingertips slid over her cheek. His touch chased some of the chill from her skin. Strange. An August evening in Texas shouldn’t have been cold...so why did she have goose bumps on her arms?
“You’ll enjoy college,” Grant told her in that low, rumbling voice that always made her stomach twist. “You’ll have the time of your life there.” His hand fell away from her. “But I need to head out again.”
He was always leaving. “Why?”
“The ranch...this place isn’t for me, Scarlett. I need more.”
The place wasn’t for him, but what about her? “Am I for you?” СКАЧАТЬ
