Finding You (Chikalu Falls, #1)

by Lena Hendrix

JoJo, you’re such a tomboy. Jo, you’re one of the guys. It’s so cool—you’re like a dude with great tits! Clearing my throat, I just looked at him. I refused to cry in front of him. If he didn’t think I was feminine enough, I damn sure wasn’t going to prove him wrong by crying all over him.

You can do this. You can do anything you set that mind to. Don’t ever let anyone tell you, even your parents, that your dreams aren’t good enough. You’re special, little one.”

Watching Jo the way I was certainly wasn’t very honorable, but she held my gaze as she took a long drink of water, and right then I knew. I would risk everything to be with her.

Being able to take care of yourself and wanting someone to want to take care of you were two very different things.

Why was he so tense all of a sudden? Had I done something wrong? Breathe. Just do your thing and stop worrying about this. He doesn’t care about you. Unexpectedly, my eyes blurred with tears. I had a long day of guiding ahead of me and I couldn’t spend it worrying about whether or not a heated moment last night meant anything. It hadn’t. Not to him at least.
