She meant it when she had said she trusted him the only person she doesn't trust right now is herself."T-thank you Bruno but there really is no need for you to go through all this.You came to see the boys let me go check on them."She jumped of the bed."Sage."The command in his voice made her stop,slowly she met his piercing gaze."I told you I-...""I know Bruno."She quickly interrupted."But I'll be fine.Shall we head out.""Come here."He softly ordered."W-why?"She nervously asked and licked her lips."I thought you trusted me."He stood,her heart rate climbed."I do."She said,it's me I don't trust."Then come here."He held out his hand to her,Sage looked down at his stretched out hand,nervously she placed her hand in his,that big hand closed over hers heat shot up her arm and spread out her entire body.He pulled her towards him she went."Can I not hold you.""I don't think that's a good idea."She made sure not to touch him.He smiled,her knees weakened she was forced to hold onto him

"I'm a very observant man I pay attention to what's going on around me,yes I have years of experience when it comes to women but you're wrong in thinking I've bought lingerie for different women,I know one woman's size and bought lingerie for her too.Her name is Sage Palmer."Her heart stopped at hearing him say that."When it comes to you I pay attention to everything."He took a step closer but didn't touch her."I know your scent,the smell of your skin,how you respond to my caresses,my kisses."His fingers trailed over her cheek,Sage leaned into his touch."There's nothing I don't know about you.I know no man has ever made you feel what I do.""You're right."She said."No man has and I don't think any man will."She lowered her gaze."When I'm with you,I lose control and I hate that,I hate that you can weaken me without having to do much.I hate not being able to control my feelings whenever you are near me,this feeling of weakness that you make me feel terrifies me."Slowly she met his gaze

"Do you want me to go down on one knee and ask you or would you rather prefer us starting off with a romantic dinner for two.""I don't want you to do any of those things,what I want is for you to stop this madness about us becoming engaged and getting married.That's what I want." "There's nothing crazy about me wanting you to become my wife.Is there."He came over to where she's standing."We slept together without using any protection..-""I know."She interrupted."I told you before I'm on the pill.""You the first woman I made love to without using a condom.""I am."She asked with disbelief."And you'll be the last too."He pulled her up against him."I enjoyed you very much last night and I plan on enjoying you the same way.Your naked skin against mine,it had been exhilarating feeling you the way I did."Her skin began to burn,her pulse raced and he's only holding her in his arms,what is it about this man that makes her blood rush with excitement that gives her butterflies in the pit o

"I always have my hands full,and please I insist.I hope you like lasagna it's my favorite not only that I love making it.""On one condition.""Shoot.""I'm helping.""Deal."Sage said,and took out all the ingredients they gonna need."You sure know about cooking."Sage told him a while later,the boys are sitting quietly in their high chairs and playing."Your wife or girlfriend will be lucky to have you.""Me and my girlfriend always did the cooking together, she's the one who taught me actually,she loved food alot."She can see the pain of losing her is still there,he hasn't truly gotten over her,the touch of her hand on his shoulder brought him back."Late night desserts were her favorite.""You loved her alot.""More than life itself.Sorry for mumbling like this I can't remember the last time I talked to anyone.All my family are in Washington.""Don't apologise.I understand,I know how it feels not having anyone to talk to it gets lonely."They went about preparing dinner over the next h
