Linc's words are sweet They are caring and protective But they bounce off of o and truly open my heart up, is because I believe I am the one that is unworthy Why else would a father leave his daughter?

Linc rocks me back and forth He holds me for what seems like forever, but we don't talk any further Finally, he lays back on the bed and takes me with him

He kisses ht But I need a connection I need some type of lifeline thrown to me that shows me that I'm desirable in some way I need him to show me that he wants me, even if it's only sexually and for the here and now

I turn the kiss hotter, reaching rab his hard flesh, and his hips purasp

Therehe needs me I'm needed

I know, at least for thisanywhere

My heart is aching for Ever She seems lost

Last night, Ever proceeded to shower my body with the most sinfully erotic touches I've ever had Her hands, her lips, helleven the way her hairall over the place

She was merciless when she tookto prove to herself that she orth so

I didn't need her to blow me to prove that I tried to pull her off ofnone of it Finally, I succu out her name when she finished me off

She then crawled into my arms, kissed my chest and fell asleep

I didn't follow her until several hours later, thinking about howI could do about it

And that's when I realizedI was in love with Ever There was no choir of angels singing the epiphany, and it didn't coeneral understanding in irl was made for me

Ever is in the shower as we have just come back from our run She was unusually quiet today but I decided not to push her Ever isn't the type of person that can be forced to see the light She has to find it on her own

My phone rings and I look down at it It's oing to change my life radically

Ever and I are lying in bed, watching TV WellI'lasses on and she looks smart, adorable and edible I want to rip the book out of her hand and strip her naked

But instead, I need to have a serious talk with her and I've been sitting here for forty-five e to start

"Why are you staring at me?" she says with a mischievous look

"Because you're beautiful"

She sits the book down and takes her glasses off "Nice try So is on your mind So tell me what it is"

She's too fucking perceptive about ht that pleases ru I wanted to talk to you about"

She sits up and turns towardone of es to expose all of her leg I' side tracked so I try to maintain eye contact with her

Clasping her hands in her lap, she says, "Shoot"

"My agent called today I've been traded"

Ever sucks in a breath of air and her eyes show disappointives

"I'll have to et settled into a new place before training camp starts"

Ever chews on her bottom lip and picks at her nails "I'm sorry I know that's not what you wanted"

I run h my hair "No, it's not what I wanted"

We are silent, and it's taking all of uts to say what's truly in o with me I want you to move to Phoenix with me"

Her eyes snap to mine, and now they are bewildered In fact, she looks close to full blown panic I press ahead "EverI love you I am insanely, madly, head-over-ass in love with you I want you to come with me because I don't want to be without you You're like the very air I breatheI need you to survive"

I had hoped those words would cause her tolove for me Instead, the look of panic intensifies

"I can't," she blurts
