Chapter 10

***Ivy***

This time when I open my eyes, I see sunlight bursting through my bedroom. There were a few times during the night when Chopper was restless. Nightmares. His jerky movements and mumbling caused me to wake up. He only settled back to sleep when I would curl myself around him, stroking his chest with my cheek to snuggle as close as I could. Then he would wrap his arm around my waist and hold me tight. I’m not an idiot. I know very well the accident he had with his bike and hurting his leg brought back memories he must have buried deep.

Reaching out, I come up empty. Glancing to my left, I see Chopper left the bed at some point during the night because the left side of the bed is cold. The thought is unsettling and yet I hear noise coming from my kitchen. It would be worse if he left me here alone, right? At least he’s still in the house.

Getting out of bed brings a smile to my face. My body aches in places I never knew was possible. Amazing sex. Most definitely on my to do list today. But first, coffee. And see what the morning brings because everything is new to me. Sex. A guy in my house...hell, a guy in my life because I asked him again about it and he won’t budge...I’m his ol’lady. Would that make him my boyfriend? Okay, one day at a time. Grabbing some underwear, sweatpants, and a shirt, I make fast work to freshen up in the bathroom.

When I stroll into the kitchen I come to an abrupt stop. The guy standing in the kitchen isn’t Chopper. “What are you doing here?” I gasp in shock.

“Making coffee,” he says and adds, “we need to talk.”

“No, we don’t. I have no freaking clue what you think you’re doing here, but you need to leave.” I swing my arm in the direction of the door. “Right now, please.” I can tell he’s ready to argue so I continue, “Listen, Lochlan...I get it, your friend is an idiot. He was supposed to be here if he wanted a shot at me being his ol’lady. Clearly, he changed his mind because you’re here instead. I’m not into the whole ‘let’s share’ thing so I don’t even care what you have to say, I just want you to leave.”

“Tough shit,” Lochlan tells me before he turns and pours himself a cup of coffee.

“Tough...tough shit? What the hell? Get out. Now, dammit,” I snap and smack him on the back of his head.

Yeah, I grew up with a twin brother who was about the same size as Lochlan. And I’ve known this guy from my teenage years. No way I’m scared. And even more? I know how to handle myself in a fight. Well...I can put up a good fight, let’s stick to that.

“No, Ivy. I said we need to talk. I’m here because Chopper gave me the task of keeping an eye on you.
