Chapter 7

Wyatt

Soft snores penetrate my foggy mind as the last remnants of sleep recede. Opening my eyes I am greeted to the sight of Kara’s head resting on my chest with her right leg draped over my body. I knew she snored. The thought causes a small laugh to rumble through my chest.

Kara begins to stir, burrowing her body closer to mine. When her eyes flutter open big brown eyes look at me as if my arms are the most natural place in the world for her to be. My breath hitches in my throat as she hits me with her beautiful smile. This woman is breathtaking.

All too soon the haze of sleep lifts and her smile slips as reality settles in. I can almost see the moment I go back to being the enemy. She retracts her arm from around my waist and rolls out of my reach.

“Good morning.” I say holding on to the sweet moment a little while longer.

“Good morning,” Kara replies as she sits up. “I’m sorry for invading your space. I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable.”

“Nah you’re good.” I place my hands behind my head and watch Kara’s fingers fidget with the sheet.

“Thanks for letting me sleep in the bed. That’s the best sleep I’ve had this entire time. I needed it more than I realized.”

“No problem. I’m glad you had a good nights sleep.”

“Well,” Kara says clearing her throat. “I guess we should get ready to head out.”

I glance at the digital clock on the night stand that reads 8:30 AM. She’s right. I don’t have much in the way of clothes to pack, but I need to gather up and divide the equipment. I saw two hiking backpacks, when the guys were laying everything out. Kara’s petite 5’7 frame might not be able to hold much of the luggage so I will have to be strategic in what I give her.

“Yeah you’re right. We should get going.”

“I’ll make us some breakfast.”

“Thanks.”

Kara hops out of the bed as if staying in it a moment longer will cause her flesh to melt off. I try not to let it bother me but the truth is it stings a little. I know I earned every bit of dislike she has for me but the moment she looked at me as if I were her knight in shining armor a longing deep within my soul was created to have that look back for one more second.

Shaking off the bit of melancholy I get up from the bed to get ready to leave.

This has to be one of the best mornings of my life. Waking up in Wyatt’s strong embrace was like a little slice of warm apple pie covered heaven on earth. I’ll never admit it if he asks though.

I grab the eggs and bacon from the refrigerator then place them on the counter. I’m not planning to make this amazing breakfast for Wyatt. At least I won’t admit that I am. If I am smiling the whole time imagining snuggling close to his chest so be it.
