Falling in Love with the Man of My Nightmares (That's [Para]Normal #4)

I mean to say, presently, do you foresee wanting that kind of relationship. With…me?” Shivering, I clear my throat and ignore the warmth soaring up my neck. “Define traditional.” “Married couples generally live together. I had not yet gotten an opportunity to offer you a room in my home, but I have been preparing one. And…” He swears and moves his hand to cover his eyes. “I don’t know what I’m doing, Kassandra. You terrify me, and I am unused to the sensation of my own fear. I build terror and experience the full saturation of it dozens of times nearly every night. Yet…you. You.” His phone angles off him, at the chandelier on the ceiling. His voice breaks as it comes through the speaker. “You shut my thoughts off. You make it hard to breathe. I don’t fear death, or pain, or suffering, but the agony of not knowing how to express myself to you in a way that could somehow present the case that I am worthy enough to be yours…scares me.” I bite my cheeks to keep from blurting something incredibly stupid. I have long since trained my inside thoughts to not become my outside regrets. But. Also. Dang. He’s a woman’s dream come true, isn’t he?
