I close my eyes and make a wish. A wish I can’t even think about for too long for fear it might not possibly come true. A wish that I would give up anything for.

But yet, I wish for it still.

I wish my feelings for Danger wouldn’t progress into love.

However, I fear I may already be falling in that direction.

Chapter29

Danger

Can I say that Monterey looks like an angel tonight? She does. She’s wearing this white dress that hugs each and every curve of her body deliciously. I mean, damn. I’m proud to have her on my arm.

Seriously, walking through the hotel with her as every man’s eyes turn in her direction, is very satisfying.

And I know what they’re all thinking.

They’re all wondering how she would feel to slip deep inside. And hell, I’m right there thinking it along with them.

I can’t say I haven’t jerked off to the thought in the shower every morning. But, I need to take it slow with her. I need to show her what a real man can do for her.

She deserves it. And when I make my own wish on the blanket of stars above us, I wish for just that. One day Monterey will have the type of man she deserves. One who will treat her right.

Not a fuck up like me.

Not a man who was raised on the wrong side of the tracks. Hell, the wrong side of life. I don’t deserve anything. I really don’t. I have to fight for everything I want. And I can’t let Monterey distract me from what I really want in this life. Hell, no, what I need to do in this life.

I swore a long time ago I’d do everything in my power to right a wrong.

And by fuck, I will right that wrong if it’s the last thing I ever do on this god forsaken piece of shit world.

“I’ve made my wish.” Monterey gazes up at me with those soul-burning green eyes of hers. The kind a man like me could get lost in for years. Stumbling around. Trying to find my way out of them. Like a sea of green grass, never finding the exit.

But, honestly, if I were allowed to deserve one thing on this earth… I’d beg for it to be her.

But, that’s not how the cards of my life were dealt.

“What did you wish for?” I ask her, knowing full well she won’t tell me.

She smiles wide. “You know I can’t tell you that.”

I wrap my arms around her, tugging her closer to me. “Tell me, Monterey,” I whisper against her skin.

She tries to push me away. “No, it won’t come true if I do.”

My chest feels like it’s going to explode. So, instead of giving into the burst, I kiss her. I fucking kiss her with all that feeling of the eruption behind it. I deepen the kiss, wanting nothing more than to rid this woman of her clothes and sink deep inside her.

It’s crazy how Monterey brings out the primal beast inside me. But she does. She brings it out in the worst way.

In a way that frightens me. In a way I can’t control.

And I control everything.

I keep kissing her, running my tongue along hers. “Monterey, I need to be inside you.”

Her eyes flutter open. “I need that, too.”

I don’t even remember how we make it back to our hotel room. All I know is I’ve never walked so fast in my life.
