Kyle, please. Stop. This isn’t you. You aren’t even here…
““Kyle, please. Stop. This isn’t you. You aren’t even here anymore,” Cole said softly with his arms around her. Kyle blinked and shook her head. Shame. Again. Then she fought him desperately—eyeing her scattered clothes and the door. “You don’t have to do this for me. I don’t want a show.” Cole put his hands on her face and kissed her lips gently. For the first time. Their separated souls rejoiced and found each other again. He lifted her off the altar and set her on her feet. “Be you for me, Kyle. Be the Kyle you’re so very afraid of being. I’ll keep her safe.” Cole skimmed his lips along her cheek and looked at her hopefully. Kyle gazed into his eyes and nodded solemnly. The moment seemed bigger than the two of them. Cole asked permission. “Kyle McHugh, may I worship you?” A tear fell from her eye as she whispered, “Yes.” Cole took a step back and whipped the cloth off her shoulders. She was no vixen now. Kyle looked terrified. She clenched her fists, as if willing herself not to run. Cole turned and gathered her scattered clothes. He found her panties and took them to her, kneeling at her feet. Kyle looked puzzled, but as he worked the panties up her legs, she got it. Unlike all the other men, he was dressing her.””
