Hopper leads me by the hand up to my new bedroom.

“You know that I switched rooms?”

He looks back with a raised brow, and I shake my head. “Sorry. Stupid question.”

“It’s got to be hard for you to figure out where to land on the stalking,” Hop says as he lets me into my bedroom. “It’s definitely not consensual. You have no choice in the matter, I promise you. But if I were you, going through a loss—a double loss, really—I’d want somebody watching over me. So while you know you should be irritated with me, maybe it’s the first time in a long time you’ve felt truly cared for. And maybe you can just let me do what I need to do. Let me make sure you’re okay.”

Only Hopper could make this level of intrusion seem so goddamn romantic. And he’s right. I do feel cared for. Worse, I am falling hard for his brand of charm. If I stop to think about how fucknugget insane that is…eh, better if I don’t.

“Stalking is usually meant to terrorize or control, Hop. This thing you’re doing is different. You’re not hunting me.”

Hopper shakes his head. “More like I’m haunted by you. Can’t get you out of my head. Can’t let somebody hurt you.”

His words feel like a bulletproof hand around my heart. Not squeezing it, just…holding it. Defending this vulnerable part of me with affection and breathtaking ferocity.

“I’m a veteran officer of the law, Hop. I have more self-defense training than most law enforcement officers. I can take care of myself. You don’t have to worry about me.”

We stop at the side of the bed, and Hopper takes off his jacket, tossing it on the floor before removing his T-shirt and unbuttoning his jeans. There’s a sexiness to the deep grooves on either side of his tan belly and the casual way his jeans rest on his hip bones, showing off the dark trail of hair disappearing into his boxers. He reaches out for me, and I trace the black-and-gray tattoos winding up his arms as he unties my robe, slipping it off my shoulders.

Pushing down my boxers, he kneels and presses his nose into my pubic hair, inhaling deeply. My hands alight on his head, my fingers playing with the shiny dark-brown strands. His hands find my hips as his eyes, dangerously dark and beautiful, hold me captive.

“You know Dominick is probably the one who sent your mom, right? Even if Fallon did the convincing, it was his idea?”

I nod, biting the inside of my cheek. “Yeah, Hop. I know.”

“So there’s more than one way you can get hurt,” he says, tapping his temple. “I don’t want him fucking with your mind or your body. I want to protect you from all of it.”

His quiet words silence me.

Hopper rises to his full height—a little shorter than me—and toes out of his shoes. He takes off his socks and drops his jeans to the ground, stepping out of them the way one steps out of a puddle.
