“I jerked instinctively. I couldn't stay here. I couldn't die in this closet.

"No one is going to touch you," Chase murmured into my hair.”

“It was you," I say softly. "It's always you I think about."

The intensity in his gaze took my breath away. I could feel him. Every part of him. His soul was sewn to mine. His heated blood flowed through my veins. I'd thought that I had been close to my mother, and I was, but not like this. Chase and I barely touched- our hands, mouths, knees- but there was no part of me that was not his.”

He put a hand on his throat, as though trying to stop the words, but they came anyway.

"You're home. To me.”
