If anything, it’s better the second time than it was the first.

“Holy shit,” I pant. “I think I’ve gotten enough cardio exercise for the entire year.”

“You held up well,” he says, the corners of his mouth turning up in this incredibly sexy way that makes my stomach flutter every time he does it. He sinks back against the pillows and I nestle into the crook of his arm. I like Hawk like this — all relaxed and kind of sweet, almost. It’s a far cry from the cocky jackass I met at the wedding, or the sullen brooder I saw earlier today.

All the sex has made me feel boneless, and more relaxed than I’ve felt in I don’t know how long.

And then I screw it up.

“So, I know you might not be able to tell me,” I venture. “But is there something bothering you?” When Hawk doesn’t immediately answer, I plunge in further. “I mean, you seemed kind of upset earlier. At the festival.”

Hawk hasn’t moved a hair. His breathing hasn’t changed. But even so, somehow I can feel the temperature drop between us.

“No,” he says. His tone is like a door slamming. “Nothing’s wrong.”

I change the subject, but the damage has been done. Gone is his bantering tone from earlier, and any attempt to engage him in conversation just confirms he’s not really listening. About half an hour later, he detaches himself from me and says he needs to get going. I don’t try to stop him — what would I say? Instead, I watch in silence as he pulls on his jeans, then his shirt, and slides on his boots.

“Hey,” he says softly, just as he’s getting ready to head out the door. “I’ll be a little busy the next couple days. But I’ll see you soon. Okay?” He leans down, and with a tenderness I would never have known he possessed, he kisses me, and strokes my jaw softly with his thumb.

I don’t know why, but for some reason I feel like crying.

“Okay,” I say. It comes out a little wobbly. “See you around.”
