Chapter Ten

Dahlia awoke slowly, the sound of birds chirping away lulling her back into the realm of consciousness. The window had been opened, the scent of grass along with buttery ribbons of sunlight floating in on a warm breeze. She stretched, her body well satisfied. It felt as if she’d just had a deep tissue massage, every muscle lose and relaxed. As the memories of what she had done with Garrett last night rushed at her, a smile creased her face.

Did that really happen? Or was it all some really nice dream? She rolled over to convince herself Garrett was real and he had spent the night with her, except he wasn’t there. Frowning, she ran her palm across the mussed sheets. The scent of forest and man permeated the air. She pulled it deep into her lungs. Leaning over the edge of the bed, she spotted the discarded washcloth.

She giggled to herself, and collapsed in bed, not wanting to get out. But she was curious as to where he had gone. After a long moment, she forced herself onto her feet and threw on an old pair of shorts and a tee shirt. She gathered some fresh clothes and exited her room then headed toward the bathroom. Closing herself in, she ran the shower then stepped in, the heat of the water soothing. She took her time, the sensation of trickling water, and the memory of what Garrett had done to her, stealing her away.

Had she expected it? Nope. Did she want it to happen again? Hell yes. And she felt relieved telling him about her experience as a child. She’d told Jessica about it and some of her monster-hunting buddies, but they always seemed to subtly discount her story. Garrett hadn’t. Hell, he’d gone beyond that just by being who he was.

Killing the water, she stepped out, and dried herself thoroughly. The sensation of the fabric sliding over her body got her going—Garrett had made her feel sexy and desired for the first time in her life, his praises going right to her heart. She wanted to explore this new found confidence with him some more.

Don’t get ahead of yourself, girl.

She took her time grooming, cursing her stubborn hair then slipped into a pair of jeans and a perfect-fitting tank top. Smoothing it down her stomach, she glanced at herself in the mirror. Not too bad. Garrett had said he liked his women on the larger side, but… Nope. Not going there. Her ex was no longer welcomed in her thoughts. Besides, Garrett’s reaction to her in bed kind of put the nail in that debate coffin—didn’t it?

Deciding to focus on the positives, Dahlia opened the bathroom door, then froze. Frowning, she closed it, then reopened it… the last she remembered, the door and jamb had been broken. Garrett must have gotten up early, and fixed it. The scent of something cooking drew her attention, and she followed the sound of sizzling sausage to find Marcus and Jake in the kitchen.
