more inner strength and goodness of heart than him, but he had the advantage in physical strength.
“It’s not fair,” she said, wriggling. “You can just pull me back whenever you want.”
He leaned close to her ear, feeling heat from her body as he did. “You wouldn’t want me to let go,” he said.
She shook her head and held on to his arms with her hands. “I wouldn’t. I just wish I could hold on to you the way you hold on to me. I wish I could make you mine. I wish I could make all of the decisions. You’re like a passing storm cloud, only bringing water when you want to.” Her voice caught, and he felt wetness on his arm and looked down to see a tear streaming over one cheek. “I just have to wait for you, Cage. And I’m nearly dried up.”

C arrie’s words tore at Cage’s heart. He picked her up in his arms, ignoring her gasp of shock, and carried her to the bed in the middle of the room. He plopped her on it on her knees and then got on with her.
He caught her face in both hands, and wiped the tears away with his thumbs. She blinked up at him, blond lashes wet and spiky.
“I’m not a storm cloud, passing as I wish,” he said. “I’m a boomerang you threw that can’t help but come back. I’m a magnet and you’re the other side. I’m a piece of a puzzle only you can assemble. I’m nothing without you.” He put his forehead to hers, staying there.
“Cage, it’s been so lonely without you,” she said. “I didn’t even realize how much until now. Until being with you again.”
He wiped her tears again with his thumbs, wishing he’d come back sooner. “I’m sorry I stayed away. I won’t ever do it again.”
“But you’ll have to,” she said, slumping forward to put her head against his chest. “You’re one of them. The Aces.”
He caught her face again and gently lifted her to face him. Her tears were drying, and she looked indignant more than sad.
“I could be less sad,” she said. “Because it all had a purpose. Because I pictured something better. But you just came back and—”
He couldn’t hear the words from her mouth anymore. He dipped down and kissed her, silencing her completely. Her body softened, and he snaked a hand around her waist to press her even closer as he melded his lips to hers. He felt a salty tear between them and caught it as he adjusted their kiss, letting their lips fit together perfectly, over and over again.
Showing her just how perfect for each other they were.
The bear inside him growled, and he told it to shut up. Right now, for her, he needed to be the man, not the animal.
The animal could come out the next time she needed to be protected.
The man would take care of her heart.
He cradled the back of her neck and deepened the kiss. She opened easily, and their tongues entwined together in a soft, intimate embrace that had them both trembling.
There’d been no other woman for him. Not even in his thoughts. And kissing her like this, going further than they’d ever gone, was even more than he’d ever imagined. His hand moved over her shoulder, tempted unbearably by her breasts. He could feel her need for him, sense her want.
One of his hands cupped her hip, feeling the feminine softness there that would cradle him perfectly. He just wanted to lay her down beneath him and take everything, make her his, tell her the truth, embrace a happily ever after.
But he couldn’t.
Not yet.
He pulled back from the kiss to look over her face. So beautiful, so familiar, with her full cheeks, pointed chin, little freckles, curled eyelashes. A dimple on one side of her soft smile.
Her hair was waving around her face, looking like a thick halo. He tried to smooth it, to no avail, and chuckled lightly.
“What is it?” she asked, looking up at him with a vulnerability that took his breath away.
“Nothing,” he said, touching her hair again, winding a curl around his finger and then letting it go so it bounced back. “I just love that
