Chapter Nine

A crying baby woke Maddie at four forty-five, which was almost a reasonable time to wake up. Sawyer was fast asleep beside her, and for a moment she just watched him sleep, marveling at how good-looking he was. The straight, strong profile. The thick dark hair. The five-o’clock shadow.

She wondered if she was a control taker in bed all the time or if she’d simply done what the moment had called for last night. And what an amazing moment it was. Sawyer had responded instantly, and the experience had been so emotional, so intimate, that Maddie had almost cried a time or two until ecstasy had won out. Sex with Sawyer was everything she’d imagined it would be the past several days. She was glad they hadn’t waited for her memory to return. She had two tiny memories back now, which meant more would be coming each day. She’d wanted to be with Sawyer as the woman she was now, the one who was getting this rare chance to fall in love with him all over again.

Falling in love without all the history, though, she reminded herself. That wasn’t falling in love. That was fantasy.

She frowned, wishing she could stop thinking for just a minute, but without a history to call from, her mind wasn’t exactly full. She had a lot of space to fill.

The cry came harder, so Maddie reluctantly got out of bed and headed into the nursery.

“What’s the matter, little guy?” she said, picking up Shane, whose shrieks instantly stopped as she cradled him against her and rubbed his back. “Let’s get you changed.”

Once both infants had fresh diapers and pajamas, she brought them downstairs in their carriers to feed them in the living room. She had Shane in her arms when Sawyer came down the stairs, all rumpled and sexy. She blushed thinking about last night, which made her feel silly until she realized it was the first time for her.

“I’ll admit I was hoping to wake up next to you and have a repeat of last night,” he said.

She grinned. “Me too. But duty called.”

“I know I said I didn’t think we should be intimate until your memory came back, but to be honest, I’ve felt so close to you, Maddie. Everything about last night felt so natural.”

“I know exactly what you mean,” she said, her heart doing somersaults.

A shrill cry came from Max. Translation: Uh, what about my bottle?

She smiled. “I made a bottle for Max, too—it’s in the kitchen.”

He went to get it, then came back, scooped up Max and sat down beside her. She watched him coo at the baby, angling the bottle just so. What was also natural? The way Sawyer was with his nephews.

When Max finished his bottle, Sawyer held him upright and patted his back, then repositioned him in his arms to let him stare out the big sliding glass doors to the deck, the snow still slightly clinging to the trees. “I’m going to look for Cole today,” he said.
