Jack’s breath hitched. “You, you love me?” Jack whispered as his hold on me got tighter. He waited for my answer, and as the seconds carried on, his grip only grew a bit closer, not enough to hurt me. I lifted my head up, and he let go, looking down into my eyes while I stared back up at his.

That had to be the sexiest sound I have ever heard, and it shot right through my core. Before I could say anything, he started laughing deeply and softly in his chest. “Nice to know I have that effect on you, my love.” I sm
