CHAPTER 137 Here for You

  ~ CARA ~

  I woke up to Rig’s touch, and it was so delicious, prickling and tingling down my back, I didn’t want to move at first.

  But then he sighed. Only a small sigh. A heavy breath. But I felt… something. I could feel that something was wrong. Even though he touched me so gently and lay so quiet… I could feel him.

  “What’s wrong?”

  I had to turn around to face him and ask a second time before he admitted it.

  “I’m just… terrified to lose you.”

  Seeing the blazing love in his eyes, that burning need that I felt too. And it scared me, as well.

  We laid there together, both of us in love, both of us happy, and both of us terrified.

  This life was a bitch. I’d told him in my vows that no one else had ever made me feel safe—and that was true.

  I’d never thought finding someone who made me feel safe would spur more fear. Because when you find safety, you’re terrified to lose it.

  How fucked up was that?
