Ooo000ooo

“She went down easily,” I said, joining Leah on the couch after putting Matilda down for her nap.

“Poor girl was so exhausted from all the stress.”

Leah had helped me with Matilda when we got home, even though I hadn’t asked her too. She was a natural, as I suspected, and it was nice having some help. Especially help from someone who seemed to know what they were doing. Grant was great, but he was as clueless as I was before the nurses at the hospital went over the basics.

“We should probably get some dinner, huh? I don’t have much to eat around here. Besides formula, that is.” I scratched my beard, which was still growing out. It felt weird to have my face mostly exposed.

Leah scooted closer to me on the couch, batting her lashes at me. I knew that look well; I’d seen in from a lot of women over the years. None of them as beautiful or as hard to resist as Leah, though.

Her fiery spirit should have turned me off. I didn’t need drama in my life. But I loved it. I loved her fierceness, the fight she had inside. She was loyal, more so than anyone I’d ever met. She might tear apart her enemies, but once you were inside her inner circle, it was clear she’d defend you to the end.

It was rare to meet someone like that. Besides family and Henry, I’d never had someone on my side before.

Her tongue darted from her mouth, and she ran it across her lower lip. She was practically begging for me to kiss her again, and God knows, I wanted to.

More than anything, I wanted to finish what we started in her office earlier that day.

But I hesitated, fearful of what might happen if everything went south. I hardly knew her, and she hardly knew me. We were attracted to one another, but I wasn’t the best boyfriend. I could be downright shitty at times. She was right when she said I was an asshole.

I moved back slightly and picked up my phone. “I’m guessing you don’t have DoorDash or Postmates here in Liberty?”

“No,” she said as she slipped back from me. Crossing her arms, she leaned back onto the couch and refused to meet my gaze. She looked as if she wanted to hide from me now. “I’m afraid not.”

I hated seeing that look on her face - she was hurt. She’d put herself out there, tried to come onto me, and I rejected her. I didn’t want her to feel that way.

“Leah, you know you were right about me before,” I confessed.

She looked at me with a curious expression on her face. “What do you mean?”

“I’m an asshole. Period.”

“You’re not,” she said simply. “I was wrong about you. I based that on one shitty encounter, that’s all.”

“You really don’t know me that well.”

“Then let me get to know you,” she whispered. She leaned forward again, the look of hurt gone from her face. Her brown eyes were large as saucers, her pink lips parted.
