CHAPTER 12

Autumn

The rich aroma of coffee woke me the following morning. I lied in bed, feeling more relaxed and refreshed than I had in a long time. Finally, I had gotten a decent night’s sleep.

I rolled over. The other side of the bed was cold, letting me know that Brady must have gotten up quite some time ago. We had fallen asleep holding each other, so I wondered how he had managed to get out of bed without me noticing. I supposed it didn’t matter though.

I smiled to myself, thinking about the incredible night we had shared.

We had very nearly gotten caught in the library, an unsuspecting visitor coming dangerously close to the room we’d been occupying. Giggling uncontrollably like a couple of teenagers sneaking around behind our parents’ backs, we quickly dressed and left the library, heading back to the safehouse to pick up from where we had left off. Much like our experience back in Turkey, we had hardly been able to make it through the door before we were ripping each other’s clothes off again.

We spent the rest of the day, blissfully giving in to the urges we’d been holding back for entirely too long.

Then we ordered takeout for dinner, cuddled and watched a movie, and went to bed, resuming another round of love-making before collapsing in each other’s arms.

In those moments, I felt happiness unlike any I had felt in a long time.

Unlike anything I’d felt since my college years with Dan.

It was obvious that what I felt for Brady ran deeper than what I’d felt for Dan though. I halfway thought I was being ridiculous for falling for a handsome face so quickly, but there simply was no denying how I felt, just like Brady could no longer control what he felt.

“So what are we going to do now?” I had asked before we fell asleep.

“What do you mean?”

“We were supposed to be keeping things professional, but it doesn’t seem like that’s possible anymore.”

“The only thing that’s not possible is me staying away from you,” he had responded, running his fingers through a lock of my hair as we stared into each other’s eyes. “So whatever obstacles come our way, we’re just going to have to figure them out.”

A warm and tingly sensation went through me because finally, we were being honest with one another. It felt good to have that barrier officially broken.

Thinking about our previous night, I rolled out of bed, tossed on a nightgown, and ventured to the kitchen, where I came to an abrupt halt. My heart leapt into my throat, and I tried to jump out of view, thinking fast about what I could do to defend myself. But I hadn’t reacted quickly enough, and the intruder spotted me anyway.

“Good morning.”

“W-Who are you? How did you get in here?” I stammered, my heart pounding a mile a minute. “Where’s Brady? BRADY! HELP!”

“Hey, hey, hey now,” the man said, holding his hands up in a non-threatening gesture. “Relax. I’m not going to hurt you.
