Chapter 25

One Month Later…

“How exactly did I let you talk me into this?” Chase asked when Sloane walked into the living room and handed him a Coke.

“Don’t pretend that you don’t love this house,” she said with a teasing smile.

It had taken most of the day, but they’d finally managed to get their bedrooms and bathrooms unpacked and had started unpacking the kitchen. It had been a long day and an even longer month. Between packing, paperwork, Chase’s physical therapy, volunteering, and moving, she was exhausted.

She was definitely sleeping in tomorrow, Sloane thought as she looked for somewhere to sit only to decide that it would probably be a good idea to unpack the living room tomorrow when she spotted all the boxes surrounding the couch.

“I didn’t say that,” Chase grudgingly admitted.

“This house is perfect,” Sloane said with a look that dared him to argue.

Chuckling, he took a sip of his Coke before he said, “Maybe.”

Sighing heavily, she shook her head and said, “You don’t deserve this house.”

“Would it make you feel better if I told you that I loved this house?” Chase asked as he placed his Coke on a box so that he could reach over and pull her down onto his lap.

“It probably wouldn’t hurt,” Sloane said, wrapping her arms around his shoulders as she settled on his lap like it was the most natural thing in the world to do and that was the problem.

Over the past two months, they’d become very close. He was one of her best friends and probably one of her favorite people on earth and

This was a very bad idea.

For seven years, she’d made sure that she didn’t cross any lines and now…

This was a definitely a bad idea, she reminded herself.

“I love the house,” Chase assured her as he wrapped his arms around her.

“I knew you would,” she said with a satisfied sigh that had his lips twitching as she settled more comfortably in his arms before she waved regally for him to bring her to her room.

“God, you’re spoiled,” he said, sighing heavily even as he released her so that he could roll them out of the room.

“You knew this,” Sloane pointed out, pulling her legs in closer as he navigated his way around the boxes blocking his path while she felt herself relax on his lap.

“True,” he murmured absently as she found herself thinking about that birthday kiss, something that she did probably more than she should.

Neither one of them had brought it up since it happened, but she couldn’t stop thinking about it, how much she liked being in his arms, and how good it felt when he moved his lips against hers only to remind herself that this couldn’t happen. Even knowing that didn’t stop her from wondering what would have happened if he hadn’t stopped kissing her. She wondered if she would have regretted it and that was the problem.

For the past seven years, her job had been her life. She hadn’t had time for anything more than a casual relationship and most of the time, she hadn’t even had time for that.
