into my chest for a moment, showing her emotion.
    My mouth finally pulled away, still feeling the burn. I hadn’t kissed her forehead in so long I forgot how it felt.
    She hugged me tightly for a moment before she loosened her hold. “I won’t let you down, Liam.”
    I hoped that was the case. If it wasn’t…I didn’t want to think about it.

    Chapter Six
    Keira
    I didn’t realize how much pain I was in until Liam hugged me. The weight of my suffering suddenly lifted, making me understand just how heavy it was. I thought we’d never be together again. I assumed I would never get another chance. Even though his offer was conditional, it was still the best thing that ever happened to me.
    Ever since we met, Liam had been the stronger one. He taught me how to defend myself, how to get back into the world I was so afraid of, and he taught me how to trust again. But now the strength in him was gone. I shattered him into a million pieces, taking the fight out of him.
    Now I had to put him back together.
    Could I do it? Yes, I could. Because failure wasn’t an option. He could rely on me for anything and I’d be there for him. His weakness wouldn’t sabotage this relationship. I would be patient and supportive as long as he needed to be. We were unbreakable together, but now we would be uncrushable.
    But that depended on me.
    When I woke up the next morning, Liam was wrapped tightly around me, his arms still acting as steel cages. His eyes were closed and his breathing was heavy. I felt refreshed and vibrant, something I hadn’t felt in so long I couldn’t recall. Being with Liam finally helped me sleep.
    He stirred slightly then opened his eyes. They locked onto mine, taking me in through the morning light drifting through his window. His hair was messy and all over the place. The sleepiness to his eyes gave him a lazy look. Just like always, he looked sexy as hell.
    “Morning,” he said with his deep voice.
    “Morning.” I couldn’t believe I was waking up next to him. It was a dream.
    His hand was across my stomach, covering it entirely with just his palm. He dragged me closer to him, eliminating any possible space between us. He released a sigh then buried his face in my neck.
    I could lay like this all day.
    “How did you sleep?” he whispered in my ear.
    “Like I’ve never slept before.”
    I felt his mouth move as he smiled. “Me too.”
    “I don’t want to go to class…”
    “Then don’t.” He pulled me tighter.
    God, that was tempting. “I have an exam for my third class.”
    “Who cares?” he teased.
    “Well, if I don’t pass Calculus the credential program will kick me out.”
    He moved from my neck and sat up. “You’re in the credential program?”
    “No, not yet. I applied the other day. I hope I get it. I think my chances are good since there’s such a demand for math and science teachers.”
    He stared at me for a moment, the shadow on his chin looking darker than yesterday. “I didn’t know you applied.”
    “Yeah…” I didn’t know what else to say.
    “Well, I hope you get it.”
    “Me too.”
    He kept staring at me.
    “What?”
    “Isn’t that guy in your calculus class…?”
    “What guy?”
    His eyes flashed in irritation. “The one hitting on you at the bar.”
    Was he jealous…? “Yeah.”
    He nodded slightly. “All the more reason to ditch.”
    I couldn’t help but smile. “There’s only one man in my heart.”
    “And only one in your bed.”
    “That too.” I was loving this. Liam was always so calm and collected. I’d never seen him lose his cool like this.
    He cuddled next to me again. “I feel like I’ve missed so much…”
    “Me too…”
    “When will you know if you’re accepted?”
    “Pretty soon. I think in a week.”
    “That’s quick.”
    “Well, they don’t have a lot of applications for the math and science positions…”
    He smirked. “I guess not.”
    Should I tell him about the support group I applied for? No. There was no
