CHAPTER EIGHT

Hayden

I woke up in bed alone. The side where Rylee laid for the night was still warm, but she was gone. I frowned as I sat up, stretching my arms over my head until both shoulders popped.

It felt good, and my contentedness from what we did last night made today seem like a good one for staying in bed and doing nothing. But that plan only worked out if Rylee was with me, curled into my side and preferably naked.

With that thought, I was a man on a mission, so I got out of the bed and pulled on a pair of sweatpants before heading downstairs.

I found Rylee in the kitchen. She was standing at the stove, cooking oatmeal. Her back was facing me, so I took a moment to allow my eyes to roam over her. The shorts she was wearing fell mid-thigh and hugged her ass in a way that made my mouth go dry. Her dark hair was pulled up in a messy bun, exposing her long neck, and the white T-shirt she wore was thin and I could just make out the outline of her red bra beneath the fabric.

My dick stirred at that. Damn, she got me going without even trying.

“Morning,” I said, going to the coffee maker and starting it up. I would have to make do with powdered creamer, but it would be worth it to get my morning caffeine boost.

“Hey,” she replied, shooting a furtive glance my way before returning her attention to the oatmeal she was stirring.

There was something about the tone of her voice that caught my attention and I studied her for a moment, realizing that she looked tense.

I couldn’t imagine what could be bothering her after last night. I was in a great mood. But I was sure I could help her out. She was pouring the oatmeal into a bowl when I came up behind her. My hands went to her shoulders and I started to rub them.

I expected her to lean back into me, a smile on her face. Instead, she went rigid.

Confused, I leaned in and pressed a kiss to the side of her neck. Something was wrong, and I wasn’t sure how else to connect with her. The kiss didn’t help things. Instead of relaxing, Rylee turned around and stepped away from me.

“We shouldn’t have done what we did last night,” she said, her voice resolute. But she couldn’t hide the conflict in her eyes. She was fighting with herself, but I didn’t know why. “It was a mistake.”

I shook my head. I couldn’t understand what had changed in just a few short hours. She had no complaints, no hesitation, when she showed up in my room last night. She’d fallen asleep in my arms afterward. Where was the regret coming from?

“No, it wasn’t,” I refuted. “In fact, I think we should take advantage of our time here on the island and go for round two.”

“Just forget it happened . . . please,” she insisted.
