Chapter Nine

Reese pulled into the parking spot in front of her apartment.

Within seconds, she saw Pax in her rearview, parking his massive truck in an out-of-the-way spot.

He’d never been a vain man. She suspected he’d parked further away as a consideration to other residents and not for any need to protect his vehicle from dents or dings. Such a small gesture, but it warmed her heart, nonetheless.

She’d spent the drive trying to wrap her head around the events of the evening. What did it all mean? Were they officially dating now?

He’d asked for—no, demanded—exclusivity. Not a problem for her, but less than a week ago he’d said he didn’t want a relationship. That he had nothing to offer her.

What had changed?

I won’t share. Never again.

Reese had a fairly good idea where that had come from and it turned her stomach. Not only from her suspicions about what had ended Paxton’s marriage, but that he’d also think Reese capable of such a thing.

She’d been a fool to think she could work him out of her system.

Yeah. They had a lot to talk about.

She waited on the sidewalk for Pax. Her stomach fluttered as though she’d swallowed a jar of jumping beans. God, he’d made her come in a bar parking lot and now she was nervous?

“This is it,” she told him as he approached.

His gaze scaled the building. “Looks nice. You ready to go up?” He wet his lips and slid the keys from her fingers. A protective, dominant vibe flowed from him as he pressed the appropriate button, apparently needing to double check that she’d locked her car.

There were those damned jumping beans again.

She led the way to the third floor. She took a right and stopped in front of her door.

“Which key is it?”

She pointed out the right one. Within seconds, he’d opened her door and ushered her inside.

Reese flipped on the lights and pointed him toward the couch. Her place wasn’t huge, but it was plenty big enough for her. She’d furnished it for comfort. A large couch, oversized chair, and square coffee table made up her living room. Items that seemed small with Pax in the room. The man took up a lot of space. “Take a load off. I’ll grab us a couple drinks.”

He looked around her apartment. “Just a water for me, please. One more beer, and I’d be asleep before I hit the bottom of the glass.”

Reese grabbed two bottles of water and went to join him on the couch. Before she could sit, Pax pulled her across his lap. His erection lay hard and hot under her hip. Reese had figured he’d want to get right to the good stuff, so color her surprised when he settled her against him, seemingly content just to have her close.

Another piece of her heart slipped away.

Reese snuggled her nose into his neck, drawing in his scent. God, she loved the way he smelled. The fresh scent of the outdoors, mixed with saddle leather and man.

He didn’t say anything, and Reese was content with the silence.
