Chapter 10

Three days later, Elise closed down her laptop and moved it to the end of the kitchen table, where she’d been working for the evening. Wyatt was out on patrol again, which meant she had the cabin to herself. But aside from the times when he was guarding the Alley, they’d spent nearly every waking moment together. Moments that she’d enjoyed so much more than she’d ever expected. Hell, they were so good she was craving him in his absence. Not just his incredible looks or his sexy, lopsided grins. She missed everything about him. The way he made her feel. The way he made her smile in a way that she never remembered doing, even before the attack that had changed her life. The kind of smiles that bloomed from deep inside, in the place where hopes and dreams and wishes were stored. She’d thought that place had been killed in her a long time ago. But she’d been wrong. And she had Wyatt to thank for showing her that.

Actually, she had Wyatt to thank for a lot of things—but she wanted more. Only problem was, he wasn’t giving them to her. Not since the day he’d taken her up to Shadow Peak. It was a little surprising at first, but she should have known he would be different. With any other guy, she’d have expected him to keep trying to get in her pants, whether it was what she wanted or not. But Wyatt wasn’t just any other guy. There was so much more to him than that Y chromosome, and she was falling hard because of it.

He was, quite simply, too good to be true. Funny. Charming. Patient.

And yeah, there were also times when he could be quiet and self-contained. But she had a feeling those moods were a learned behavior for him. A way of coping. There was pain somewhere in his past, though she was no closer to learning what had caused it. But she knew it was there. Like a shadow that always followed him, it flavored his moods, shaping his expressions and the things he said. The way he reacted to certain situations...and to people, as well. Like her. Did everyone else see it? Or did they simply buy his sometimes-stoic act and think it was just a part of who he was? Yeah, he laughed and joked around and used his sharp sense of humor like a whip, but it was so obvious to her that there was a part of him always under lockdown. That was something she didn’t have any problem understanding. Hell, she’d spent most of her life with some of her soul locked up tight inside her, where she could keep it safe.

She’d spent the night they’d made out in his bed, but only the one. He hadn’t kissed her again, and she hadn’t asked him to. But the looks he gave her were still as heated and intense.

Elise didn’t know why he hadn’t slept beside her, considering she’d been in his bed, but tried not to worry about it.
