Abbey’s POV
‘I’m scared of you.’ The words fall from my lips without my consent, the raw truth out there before I can stop it.
Lincoln’s eye widen slightly in shock, his red hot gaze burning me as I fidget, no longer able to hold his stare.
‘You don’t need to be scared of me kitten’ the Navy Seal murmurs softly, his intense gaze drilling into me as I stare down at my fingers, ‘I’ll always have your back, and Robyn’s, if you let me.’
That’s the problem! My mind wants to scream, don’t you see how that’s the problem! If I let him in, start to rely on him, I won’t want to stop, he’ll be an addiction, I can already feel it deep within me. Lincoln is the type of person who can destroy all my protective walls and in turn, he’d have the power to break me, and I can’t allow myself to be broken.
