As in, I’m-scared-to-say-how-much-I-like-you, a lot.” I tilted my head back so I could see him better and waited until his eyes slowly tracked to mine. “I like you a lot, as well, Alec. As in, fuck me, this-is-terrifying a lot.” Neither of us moved, a million questions in that one shared look. And then Alec kissed me, long and slow and full of promise. And when he finally pulled away, he cradled my face and said six words that meant every-fucking-thing. “Your heart’s safe with me, Hunter.”
