Chapter 7

“I’m not going to your place tonight,” Hannah stated firmly, stopping in the middle of her apartment and glaring back at him.

She put fresh food in the cat bowls then walked over to where the two felines were stretched out on the heater, almost exactly where they’d been when she’d left them this morning. She scratched them behind their ears, smiling when they started to purr. She lifted one of the toy mice she’d gotten for them and Miley batted at it slightly, but she wasn’t about to give up her perch in order to expend energy on the toy.

Sam thought she was sexy and adorable when she tried to be stubborn. What she needed to understand was, where her safety was concerned, he was more stubborn. “You’re not going to win this one, Hannah. Just go pack a bag with whatever you need and let’s get out of here.”

She shook her head before he even finished his sentence. “Nope. I’ll be fine right here,” she stated firmly, scratching Macy behind his ears. She refused to reveal to him how nervous she was about being alone, but being with him was even scarier. She also remembered her nightmares from last night and didn’t want to go through that again. They’d been terrifying – with strangers falling to her feet, dead, wherever she turned. She remembered the exact instant where the dreams had stopped being scary, and she suspected that was when Sam had pulled her into his arms, but she wasn’t going to tell him that. She might sleep better, but there were more important things to remember. Like her self-esteem. She simply wasn’t ready to have sex again, not after her ex-husband’s mind games. That meant avoiding Sam’s bed completely. And keeping him out of hers.

She saw the stubborn expression in his eyes and knew she’d have to figure out how to ease his concerns. “I’ll tell you what,” she offered a compromise. “I’ll sleep on the couch and you can sleep in my bed. You’re too big for my couch anyway and I routinely fall asleep on the couch so I know it’s comfortable,” she lied. The couch was perfectly fine for a cozy movie on Sunday afternoon, but sleeping on it was brutal! The cushions weren’t even, they slid out and she found herself sleeping on the sofa frame instead of cushions and it just wasn’t long enough, even for her shorter body. Not even her silly cats deigned to sleep on her couch and they slept everywhere else.

“No,” he stated firmly, crossing his arms over his massive chest again. “I have a spare bedroom at my place so there won’t be anyone sleeping on a couch,” he told her. “Go pack up your stuff or I’ll do it for you. And believe me, I will thoroughly enjoy going through your underwear drawer and finding the sexiest stuff for you to wear tomorrow.” His voice dropped when he said, “And I’ll be picturing you in it with that adorable little butterfly tattoo.
