Am I falling for Seth because I see him as a savior?

I’m independent, outgoing, smart, and don’t like constraints on my life.
Curtis took all that from me.
Somehow, he stole it away a little at a time, and I barely noticed.
Until it was too late.
Then, it was all-out war between us.
Seth stepped in and saved me; not once, but twice.
The super-sexy, hard-bodied bar owner makes my heart melt with his protectiveness.
It’s not easy to woo me, but Seth has done a remarkable job.
His tender caresses mixed with the lust for me in his eyes, steals my breath.

If I give my heart to Seth, will he always be my protector?
Can I move on from the abuse of my past?
Or, will it drive me away from Seth before we have a chance to find out?
