Torn (The McKerricks Book 1) (29 page)

I lean in past the glass door, getting a better look at the new tattoo. It looks like a chemical structure, and it throws me for a loop.


What is that?” I’m frowning at her now.


Ah, new tattoo,” I must put off some kind of look, because she laughs gently, easily, before continuing. “It’s Vasopressin, it’s well, a chemical released by the brain, that lets you feel love.”


Henley, is that my tattoo?” her eyes wander everywhere else but directly toward me, and she has a flush on her cheeks that isn’t from the hot water. “Does that mean you love me?”

She looks up at me with those too green eyes, and a shy smile on her lips. She braces herself against the wall and gets up on her tippy toes and plants a soft kiss against my lips. It
’s not wild, there is no tongue. It’s just a gentle melding of mouths, and I know I’ve found my forever. I know she feels the same for me as I do for her.


Stay.” The words are out my mouth, and I’m running to my nightstand, shedding my clothes as I go. Naked shower proposal? It’s not how I wanted it but it’s going to have to do. I need to get this ring on her finger before she changes her mind.

When I get back into the bathroom, I hope into the shower with her, snatch up her hand and put the ring on. I can feel her stiffen, so I grab her face in my hands, and kiss her for everything I
’m worth.


Welcome home lover.”
