Scarlett (Second Edition)
Somehow, he made me feel whole in a way I hadn’t thought possible.
“I want to make you happy, Scarlett,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper, like he was telling me a secret. “I want to wipe away every painful memory and show you that love can be beautiful. Love shouldn’t hurt—it should be gentle and warm. Let me love you the way you deserve,” he said, his arms tightening around me, pulling me even closer. I could feel the firmness of his desire, a heat radiating from him that matched my own. The warmth was overwhelming, filling every corner of me with longing and something else, something sweeter than I’d ever known.
