Sins of the Father (20 page)

“Wait. Stop.” Sawyer seemed to have trouble following his own commands, nibbling on my lips a moment longer before pulling away. His chest heaved beneath my hands. “Are you sure about this?”

“Sawyer,” I groaned. My body was on fire.

His heart was beating so fast it was practically vibrating. Or maybe that was mine. “Sparrow, are you
sure
?”

He was killing me. “Stop asking me that.”

“I’ll never stop asking you that.” He’d never stop caring about me, never stop respecting my wishes. “But I swear to you, if we do this . . . If you really give me another chance . . . I will spend every day of the rest of my life trying to be the man you deserve.”

“I know you will.” I cupped his face between my palms and met those beautiful emerald orbs head-on. There were a lot of things I wasn’t sure about. I wasn’t sure where my underfunded education was headed, or what path his music might lead him down. I wasn’t sure how the press would react to us or what my parents might do. I hadn’t the slightest clue what our lives might look like a year from now. The future was a scary place. But the one thing I
was
sure about . . . Whatever it held, I wanted to face it with him. “Yes, Sawyer. I’m
sure
.”
