“I have to go back to L.A.”

Sera struggled up from the depths of sleep, her mind foggy, her mouth fuzzy. She pushed her hair back and blinked at Ryan standing next to her bed in the pale, early morning light.

“What?” She squinted at him.

“The hospital just called. My mom’s not doing well. I’m going back right now. I just need a few things.”

“Oh.” She sat up straight. “Oh no.”

“Sorry to disturb you.” He yanked open a dresser drawer and grabbed some clothes, tossed them into a duffel bag.

“That’s okay. God, Ryan, it’s okay. What can I do?”

“Nothing.” He snagged a couple of shirts out of the closet and a pair of jeans and started to change. Right there in front of her. He turned his back on her as he stepped out of the boxers he’d apparently slept in and tossed them into the laundry hamper. His long, muscular body was entirely naked. She admired the muscles in his legs and his back, rippling and flexing as he moved, her eyes lingering on the two indentations of his lower back just above his round, tight ass, and her hands longed to reach out and touch. He stepped into clean boxers then jeans, and turned back to her as he zipped up and adjusted himself inside the jeans. Her heart picked up speed at the wholly masculine, completely unselfconscious gesture. Then he dragged a clean T-shirt over his head, covering his bare torso with its firm pecs and ripped abs.

His nearly black hair hung loose around his shoulders and he reached for a brush on the dresser, slid it through the silky strands and fastened it at his neck in his usual ponytail. He didn’t bother shaving, his face dark with stubble. God, he was sexy.

She shouldn’t be thinking things like that when his mother was on her deathbed. How could she be so shallow? She struggled to control her breathing.

“What do you want me to do here?” she asked him.

“Just stay out of trouble.”

“But…what about Zocco? Want me to talk to him?”

“Christ, no! Let me do that. I’ll take care of it when I’m back.”

“But…” It didn’t feel right letting him leave like this. “Do you want me to come with you? I could drive…maybe you shouldn’t…”

“I’m fine.” His jaw tight, eyes narrowed, he flicked a glance at her. “Don’t worry about me. I’ll call you when I know more.”

“Okay.”

She sat there cross-legged, the covers across her lap, bit her lip as she watched him finish his packing then grab the bag.

“Bye, Sera.”

And he was gone.

She stared at the closed door for a long moment, listened for the sound of his truck starting and driving away, the roar of the engine gradually fading into silence. Then she flopped back down on the bed. She hoped his mom would be okay. Worry gnawed at her stomach.

He was still angry with her. He thought she shouldn’t have interfered, shouldn’t have cared so much about what happened to Carly. She covered her eyes with her hands for a moment.
