“Hey, beautiful.”
I spun around and came face-to-face with Adam. We were standing on my front porch. “Adam! You’re here.” I covered his face in small, fluttery kisses. “You’ll never believe where I’ve been.”
He put his strong arms around me. “It’ll be okay. I’ll never let you out of my sight again.”
“I was so scared,” I told him, looking into his loving, green eyes.
“I know. You’re safe now.” He cupped my face and kissed me softly, his lips like velvet. “Let’s go up to your room.”
Taking his hand, I led him to my room where we lay on my bed, his arm draped over me. I closed my eyes and murmured, “Never let me go.”
“I won’t,” he promised.
