Chapter Eight

Nick stood under the warm water spewing out of the showerhead. Leaning with his hands on the tiled wall, he watched the soap bubbles disappear down the drain. Tired, his muscles ached in a good way. Not the same way they’d felt used last weekend, but better than he’d wanted them to. He and Code had spent the morning and better part of the afternoon mountain biking on a stretch of cliff trails about as wide as a two-by-four with a steep drop off that would give most people nightmares.

The last thing Nick had wanted to do was something risky. He’d planned to live a safer, quieter existence, but people kept pulling him back to the ledge. And damn it, he’d discovered he still thrived on the exposure to danger. Risk was in his blood whether he liked it or not. Today with Code, the getaway with Sid, they both reminded him adventure made life more interesting.

Sid.

He hadn’t seen or talked to her since dropping her off at home last Sunday, but she’d be here tonight for his dad’s sixtieth birthday party. A little voice in the back of his head told him to keep his distance. The devil on his shoulder told him to get close. After the sub fire, he’d decided he only wanted to exist for himself from here on out, but Sid had him rethinking that vow.

Talk about dangerous.

Not that he wanted to extend his relationship with her. He didn’t. Maybe he could go back to firefighting, though. Go back to being part of a team on the front lines. His best efforts may have fallen short on the sub, but that didn’t mean they would the next time.

The water turned lukewarm, signaling he’d been standing under the shower spray for a long damn time. His parents had remodeled the bathroom a few years ago, installing a larger water heater and replacing the pipes so that they no longer made noise loud enough to give away his location. He’d needed to disappear for a bit while Rowan and his mom flew around downstairs like tiny tornados in preparation for the party tonight.

He shut off the water and stepped out of the shower to dry off before tying the towel around his waist. A quick brush of his teeth followed. He turned to open the bathroom door, but someone beat him to it.

The door flew open, keeping him rooted to his spot. He rested against the counter in fascination as Sid spun into the small room and rushed to close the door behind her. She locked it, then leaned her forehead and palms on the wood panel. Her shoulders sagged as if in relief. She wore her light brown hair pulled back into a pretty ponytail. The pale green strapless dress cinched at her waist and flared out at her hips like an umbrella that stopped mid-thigh. His gaze slid down toned, smooth legs. He remembered licking his way up them to get to her wet center.
