"With you," I huffed."With these feeling in my chest.All this doubt running through my head along with your pretty words."
"Everything I told you is true," Finn said.
"I'm getting that."
"Are you angry at me?"
"I don't know," I said.
"Do you want me to leave?"
"No—but I'm not brave enough to ask you to stay."
His eyes flashed at that.
"I wouldn't be able to take it if you reject me right now.I know you're pissed off, Finn.I have a lot of doubt running through my head, and yeah, I'm just a mess.Will you close the door on your way out, so I can wash the day away?"
He nodded and turned.
"Always the gentleman," I whispered.
I thought he was going to leave, was sure of it, but instead Finn locked the door.
"What are you doing?"
With one hand, Finn grabbed his shirt and removed it in a swift motion, dropping it to the floor.My breath caught as he walked toward me, his muscles shifting beneath his skin.The look in his eyes made my knees weak.
"Finn?" I breathed as his hand cupped my cheek.
"I obviously didn't do a good enough job convincing you the other night," he murmured."Allow me to remedy that."
My towel suddenly hit the floor, leaving me naked before him.
"You are my person, Rose.There's no one better."
Finn dropped his pants, and I whimpered as his other hand went to my hip and squeezed.
"Wrap your legs around me."
I did.
"Give me that mouth."
We kissed, and it was all fire and tongue.
"I'm going to love you so good, there won't be any room left for doubt," he said.
Then Finn proceeded to do just that.
CHAPTER 21: Rose
Afterward, I was left satisfied, boneless, and very sure that our love was real.
There was just one thing I needed to do.
For Finn.
For me.
