From the very beginning, all he wanted was her willing heart. But as time passed, his desires grew deeper.
He craved more of her affection, wanting her to love no one but him.
The thought of another man being a part of her future was something he couldn't bear.
Every time he considered that possibility, jealousy surged within him.
Jealousy... it was through her that he finally understood what that feeling was like.
Rachel lifted her gaze, looking seriously at Jeffrey.
His hand was warm against her cheek, and the moments they had shared together flooded her mind.
Even though there was still a hint of fear in her heart, perhaps, just as he had said in the car, she did like him.
Maybe she had liked him even when he was just Jeffrey.
"Do you really want me to like you?" she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Yes," he answered without hesitation.
