Outlaw Derek (2012)
“Unfortunately, he had found that his own weariness had little effect on either his body or his worried thoughts. He couldn’t stop thinking. He was losing Shannon, he felt that like a cold lead weight in the pit of his belly. Too much had happened too fast for her.
He couldn’t blame her for that. Couldn’t blame her for wanting to just get away from all of it—including him. She hadn’t said it, but he knew that was what she wanted.
He couldn’t be rational about it, even though he tried. It was no good understanding that she needed time, that he should just back off for a while. He was simply afraid that the bond between them was too fragile, that, once away from him, she’d be lost to him for good.
She had come alive in his arms last night, caught up in the wildness of passion between them. If they had not been torn so abruptly from their bed, perhaps … but they had. And the situation around them, so foreign and threatening to her, only compounded her uncertainties.
If only— “Derek?”
