He looked at her and then closed his mouth. He didn’t know what to say. It was something he never expected. Haven looked at him and waited for him to say something. Anything. He just looked at her.
“Mack?” Haven asked.
“How is he related to you again?” He asked.
“A cousin. Though he is really my mother’s cousin.” Haven said as she looked at him. “She wasn’t close to her family until they needed something. She wasn’t close to hi

“Then, you have it,” Mack said as he pulled her closer. “The idea was always there between us, and now you have accepted it. That is the best to take away from all of this.”“That makes you happy?” she asked.“Haven, that makes me want to end this so we can just be together without having some things interrupt us.” He said as he kissed her cheek, and then he moved to her forehead. “I don’t want anyone to bother us right now, but we can’t do too much right now. They are outside, and you are supposed to be alone. Even in a safe room when I do have you the way I want you most, you will be screaming for

Haven sighed as she walked through her house. The day had really taken a lot out of her. Though her body was begging to just lie down, she knew they still were going to talk some more. She steadied herself for whatever would happen between them. Though she knew he was still in pain, and that was the only thing stopping him despite what he said about her screaming for him. She was going to hate informing him that no man had ever made her scream. She had very few experiences, but none of them had been anything to remember. She didn’t find that to be a thing she worried about in any way. She knew Mack was the person she had waited for since she was a kid. Now he was right there.

23“So you have a reaction to the pain killers?” She asked, and he chuckled in her into her neck. “I don’t take them since I found out.” He said, “they affect me slightly differently.”“And you found this out when?” She asked as her hand was still being pulled downward slowly. Soon the waistband of the scrubs was brushing past her fingers. “In the hospital overseas. I thought it wa

The cool air in the house was all around her. She made the call and hoped he was somewhere where he could take it. The answer was, “I was wondering when you would finally call me.”“Hi, Uncle Tony.” She said with a slight laugh. “It has been a while.”

“So, what are your plans for the day?” he asked as he sat back down on the bed. He moved his shoulder and felt that it was doing better than the night before. He was almost shocked he wasn’t in a huge amount of pain because of all the extra moving around he had done with her. He looked at it and saw the redness was almost completely gone. He then looked at her. “What did you do to my shoulder?” “What do you mean, what did I do to it?” She asked as she looked at him.“It doesn’t hurt.” He said. “Mack, I cleaned it.&r

26“Will he talk to me?” Kyle asked as they sat at the table, looking at each other. He wanted to know everything, and he knew that the man would probably keep things simple for his sister. He was an ex-cop, so things that wouldn’t make sense to her would be understood by him. He was hopeful that the man would speak to him.“I don’t know,” Haven said. “I can go ask.” “Do that,” Kyle said as he waited for her. It was a sign of trust to wait and not demand that he s

“That is simple,” Kyle said. “Haven, you aren’t taking over everything like you want to. And Mack, she won’t ever stop.”“Wonderful,” Mack said under his breath. “It is how she shows her affection for people,” Kyle said with a laugh. “I am guessing you too aren’t just friends anymore, and that is fine. I will enjoy watching this more than the others will, but the fact is we have to be very careful. The cameras that are up outside will be the first layer of security for the time being.” “Then what?&

Haven looked at Mack as she neared the back room, and he knew something was going on in her brain. She had a look of determination that he hadn’t seen on anyone since he knew her in college, and one of the girls had told her that she was nothing but a pet project for the professors. Haven had proven that even six years younger, she could do anything that someone older could do. The one thing the girl had insinuated was that Haven couldn’t turn the eyes of the men around her. Mack had to laugh at that one. He had become near obsessed with her by then. The thought of another man with her or a boy at that point who was closer to her age was enough to make him growl. She had not been interested, though, and that helped ease his brain and thoughts. He had been sure that she would have turned in on herself like she was a
