Daring Confessions (Bend to My Will #10)
“With his back to Vivienne, he stared into the flames. He looked so alone, making her want to go to him, but she didn’t know how. All that he’d told her made sense.
The fear that he might damage her caused Jacob to withdraw. He didn’t want to hurt Vivienne, and had tried to convince her that, deep in his soul, he was bad. Pent-up rage ruled his life and prohibited him from embracing love.
The silence unnerved Vivienne. For a while, Jacob had opened up to her, and told her about what had ...tormented him for so long. That should have brought them together, but instead it had pushed him away.
Looking out for Vivienne, protecting her, had prohibited Jacob from drawing closer. Now he stood alone by the fire, in a world of his own. She wasn’t certain that she could reach him, or break through his conviction that she should stay away.
Yet looking at Jacob only made her love him more. He was handsome and desirable, his darkness not a detraction at all.MoreLess
