Chapter Seventeen

Joe pulled into the garage at Cyn’s house a few minutes after six. His stomach was tight—and not in the good way—and the nerve endings on his arms and neck were telling him something wasn’t right. Not that he thought that something had happened to Cyn at home or that she was in danger, but the small hesitation he’d heard in her voice earlier when he’d asked about her day had played over and over in his head since they’d ended the call.

Shucking his boots in the mudroom and hanging up his jacket, he sauntered into the kitchen to find Cyn leaning over, her elbows braced on the counter, a wineglass in one hand and the other leafing through a magazine. She looked up and in that moment, when she smiled at him and pleasure infused her eyes, he realized that they were in this together. Whatever this was, they were now a team because there was no way in hell he was going to give up those smiles. And judging by the look in her eyes, she felt the same.

Without a word, he stalked toward her. She straightened, and when he reached her, he took her wineglass from her hand, set it on the counter, slid his hands into her hair, and kissed her. And kissed her.

Her small hands came up to rest on his chest, her right palm resting over his heart that, in this moment, beat for her. For them.

“Miss me?” she asked when he pulled back.

He cocked a smile. “About as much as you missed me.”

She smiled again, then moved away when the timer on her phone went off. Reaching for the device, she nearly knocked her wineglass over and his hand shot out to stay her motion. His fingers wrapped around her upper arm, and, to his shock, she let out a gasp and spun away from him, curling her arm against her side.

His stomach plummeted. “Cyn?”

She was taking deep breaths, the kind people took when they were fighting nausea or pain. He barely stopped himself from spinning her back around and demanding to know what the problem was. Instead, after a few breaths of his own, he forced himself to move in front of her. Dipping his head to better look her in the eye, he waited.

“Give me a minute,” she said, flickering her gaze to his as she spoke. Her normally fair skin was pale.

“What do you need me to do?” he asked, amazed that he managed to keep his voice soft and reasonable when that was pretty much the exact opposite of how he felt.

Her eyes darted around before meeting his. She gave him a half-smile. “Can you get the pizza out?”

He searched her face for any sign that she was holding out on him but found nothing. Trusting she’d tell him what he really wanted to know once she was able, he walked to the oven, grabbed the oven mitts, and pulled out a fresh-baked bubbling pizza.
