Hardy's Pov
Do you want me, she had asked. She has no idea!
I turned her around and picked her up, walked over to the tree, pressed her against it and leaned in to press my lips to hers.
God! I'm losing my mind.
"I…" my voice shook, I don't know why except there was this cloud of sadness that descended on me, if I didn't know any better I would say my heart was breaking.
"Say it" she demanded.
I stood there, gazing at her, my heart out of control and every self control I have dwindling by the minute. My eyes traced the curves of her face, the sparkle in her eyes....that nasty cut on her chin.
For a moment, I let my guard down, I gave myself permission to feel just a little bit....for the first time in years, I let my humanity get turned on and it all but overwhelmed me.
