Chapter Nineteen

Chelsea

Moonlight spilled in through the curtain and the cool air from the A/C hit my hot skin as I flipped off the covers. Three seasons out of the year I slept with the air conditioner on. Had to in this Oklahoma heat. Beside me, Cody’s breathing was steady and rhythmic. I trailed my eyes along the firm set of his jaw, shivering at the way the stubble had felt against the insides of my thighs. A flash of heat hit my stomach like a bolt of lightning at the sexy memory and I squirmed as the heat settled lower.

I exhaled slowly and regathered myself. The pillows underneath my head were too warm. The covers too thick. And my mind was overwhelmingly busy and filled with noise. Thoughts of Cody, memories of our steamy night together, and mostly, the loud questions that demanded to be answered before they would release me from their constant nagging.

I rolled out of bed, slipped across the room to retrieve my lightweight cotton robe from the doorknob on the closet. I wrapped myself in it and tiptoed from the bedroom. When my mind was busy, I found that my work was the best escape. If I stayed in bed, staring at Cody, I was only going to get more confused.

He was supposed to be one and done. Apparently my heart didn’t get the memo.

I went down the hall to my spare bedroom turned office, and flicked on the desk lamp and then hit the power button on my computer to wake it up. I backtracked and shut the door quietly. If Cody woke up, things would only get more complicated. I wasn’t entirely sure he meant to stay over, but it was creeping up on three o’clock and he was sleeping soundly.

Not that I minded. It had been ages since I’d fallen asleep with someone beside me. It was a comfort I hadn’t realized how much I missed until I was tucked against him. He was the big spoon to my little spoon, and damn it, it was cozy. My ex had never been much of a snuggler, but in hindsight, that was probably because he was off down the hall watching porn or sexting with one of his side pieces.

Cody wouldn’t do that to me.

I stopped myself at the thought, turning it over a few times in my mind. It had flit across my mind so confident, sure…automatic. But that was delusional, wasn’t it? I barely knew Cody. Sure, he gave the impression of being honest and open. Especially after our intimate conversation over dinner. He’d shared some pretty deep things with me and the whole thing had shocked me.

But what kind of boyfriend would he be? Was that even what I wanted? He was a professional athlete which meant lots of traveling. Wasn’t that always what led to celebrity and sports breakups? That’s what they always blamed in their press releases at least. Too much time away. Distance. Disconnect. Not to mention the groupies and sports fanatics.
