CHAPTER SIX

Morning dawned sunny and bright, with clear blue skies outside the bedroom window. As she frequently did, Lori was using Grayson as a full-body pillow. Her face would have looked perfectly serene as she slept, were it not for the hint of wickedness that never quite disappeared.

Though he didn’t want to wake her when he knew how much she needed the extra rest—regardless of how much energy she insisted she had—he couldn’t keep from running his hand down the smooth skin of her spine in a long, soothing stroke. Not only because it made her move like a cat beneath his touch in her sleep, but also to soothe himself. More and more, he needed to reassure himself that she was perfectly okay and that the baby growing inside her was healthy too.

Grayson knew plenty of people had worse pasts—dark histories that were nearly impossible to recover from. With Lori’s help, he had recovered.

At least, he thought he had, until she’d told him she was pregnant, and suddenly it had felt like his past was strangling him again. Fears of losing another loved one—or two, God forbid—were waking him up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night on a regular basis.

He’d tried to sweat them out in their home gym, lifting increasingly heavy weights. He’d even tried to meditate them away, courtesy of the skills he’d gained when Lori had insisted they try out the new yoga studio in downtown Pescadero, which had set up business next door to the general store.

Unfortunately, nothing kept him from lying awake, Lori in his arms, as he tried to convince himself that he wasn’t going to lose everything again.

On a contented sigh, she rolled over so that he was spooning her. “Good morning, husband.”

“Good morning, wife.” He had to work like hell to make sure his voice didn’t betray the darkness roiling inside of him.

“How about we make it a really good morning?” Without waiting for his response, she reached back to stroke the one part of his body that couldn’t
