Totally
She sagged against him and dropped her head to his chest. But he tipped her chin up so she'd see the resolve in him. "But if he ever touches you…Lila, he will have to kill me then. If he hurts you, I won't stop hunting him until he's dead. Or I am."

This is heartbreaking… and I’m so relieved he told her. This has to be a shared experience now.
He leaned across the table, still clinging to her hand, but his eyes laser pointed on her. "I saw the whole thing—you and me, together, married, babies." He snapped his mouth closed on the word, hesitated. But he didn't look away. "And then I saw you…dead. Brutally dead because of my insane father."
Urban · AimeeLynn
It’s a hill that’s too easy to fall down
"Nothing. Really. I mean it. I just…got lost in my own thoughts for a little while," he said and leaned down to kiss her. "Let me get you some breakfast. These are almost ready."
Urban · AimeeLynn
Right?? This IS special, the two of them in his little hideaway
"I want you," he repeated. "But I also want it to be memorable for you. I want it to be right—not rushed. Not interrupted. And not because it's the only time or space we think we'll have. I want it to be natural, and…relaxed."
Urban · AimeeLynn
Groaning, because this whole weekend was going to be pure torture if his body didn't calm down, he turned off the shower, dried off and pulled the towel around his waist to walk through to his bedroom. As he stepped into the little hall, Lila was just coming out of the other room and caught sight of him in the towel. She stopped dead, staring at him, her eyes tracing from his face to his chest and down his abdomen.
Urban · AimeeLynn
Haha 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh, shit, she was going to come, and he was on a fucking phone call.
Urban · AimeeLynn
Best. Phone call. Ever.
Dane breathed another curse and Lila bit her lip, her teeth pressing down on that plump pillow of her bottom lip until Dane wanted to put his own on it, tease it out. But she was beginning to shiver and gasp. Goosebumps pebbled her stomach and arm.
Urban · AimeeLynn
"Yes, yes," he croaked. "Just…it's hard. Work. Hard work. Working out."
Urban · AimeeLynn
After the warm up there WILL be a workout so that’s not exactly fibbing….
"I'm fine," he said hoarsely. "I'm just... it's been a long week so I'm starting a workout. Multi-tasking, you know," he croaked.
Urban · AimeeLynn
Tease. You’re gonna miss some important info Dane…
Slowly, slowly, he danced along her skin, from her collarbone, around her breast, to her side, then up her thigh that was bent up to cradle the book. He cursed her jeans for keeping him away from her skin, but didn't miss the shiver that went through her when he trailed his fingers back up—this time just slightly closer to the middle of her thigh, rather than the outside.
Urban · AimeeLynn
Right?? Allll the cokblockers all the dam time!!
"Okay, James," he interrupted the man mid-flow. "I'm working on something very important. I need you to fill me in on what you learned, and who else knows."
Urban · AimeeLynn
Lovely.
While he made listening noises, waiting until he heard something important, Dane took her hand and pulled her gently down onto the couch, gesturing for her to lay her head in his lap. When she did, he laid his arm on the back of the couch and leaned that way so he could watch her. He wanted to growl with how beautiful she was with her full lips in the hint of a smile, and her cheeks pink. When she finally got herself comfortable, her head on his thigh, he trailed his fingers through her hair, spreading it out over his lap. The golden strands soft and wavy. He couldn't stop touching it, though it was making him hard.
Urban · AimeeLynn
Maybe a shoulder rub??
"Oh, but you won't be sure you can trust it unless you see…" the man would not stop talking. Lila had finished in the kitchen and wandered the apartment. She'd found a book in the little space he called the hallway, next to his bedroom, and she'd brought it over to the couch. Now she was standing there, obviously considering where to sit.
Urban · AimeeLynn
Always.
James calling. Accept or Decline.
Urban · AimeeLynn
His damn phone rang, interrupting the delicious fantasy. They both blinked, then looked at it, sitting on the end of the table.
Urban · AimeeLynn
Bahaha that’s exactly what Lila wants
Dane found himself gripping his knife so hard, his knuckles turned white. "What would you like to do this evening? What would be…relaxing?"
Urban · AimeeLynn
I mean…he’s basically taking her away for the weekend. It’s not exactly platonic…
He kept clearing his throat so she wouldn't notice how hard he was breathing. Sitting across from her when she looked at him like that, it was like a drug. His resolve to keep things slow this weekend was crumbling.
Urban · AimeeLynn
That is the truth, all of it!!
Good advice!
"Well, Saul was just saying that women have many hidden weapons and therefore they are more difficult to fight. I agree. You are strong. You get what you can with your strength and the rest… you can be a damsel in distress."
