WHEN JANE WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING all she could think of was the events of the last few days. She’d gone from hating Grayson—or pretending to hate him—to acknowledging that she’d never stopped loving him and never would. She was adult enough to admit her feelings to herself, but there was still too much water under the bridge to voice them to him. She still wasn’t sure she could trust him, especially with her heart.

She stretched and sighed. She felt light as a feather. The smile on her face grew until her cheeks hurt. She peeled back the blankets and started to get ready for the day. All the while remembering…

Last night after they’d come home from their adventures, they’d had a quick dinner and then settled into the recliners to watch some TV. She’d been surprised when he tossed her the remote.

“Pay-per-view channels are in the one-hundreds. Pick out a movie.”

“You’re pretty brave.”

“Hey, I’m not such a guy that I can’t do a chick-flick once in a while.”

But Grayson was a guy, a very, very handsome guy, who did very dangerous things to her heart. She flipped through her choices and clicked on a horror movie. She hated horror movies. They scared the bejeezus out of her. The movie started and her heart matched the thump, thump, thump of the theme music.

Two minutes into the movie the scary dude jumped out with his chainsaw and Jane shrieked, jumped, and popcorn fell from the sky like snow.

Grayson chuckled and reached over, pulling her into his arms, into his lap. “Come here, baby, I’ll protect you.”

She didn’t doubt that he would protect her from monsters and things that went bump in the night, but could he protect her from … him?

Another roar of the chainsaw and Jane opened her eyes to discover she was fully entwined in Grayson’s lap. Her fingers gripped his shirt. His arms held her firmly against the strength of his body. With her head against his chest, the steady beat of his heart was a comfort and her eyes drifted closed.

She’d awoken to the gentle jostling as he stood. She shifted, expecting him to set her down. Instead he’d cradled her closer to him and murmured in her ear, “It’s okay. I’ve got you.”

Once her head was on the pillow, he pulled the covers up over her and kissed her softly, chastely on the mouth. “Good night, baby. I’ll see you in the morning.”

It felt like they were a married couple, except that she still slept in the guest room. He didn’t offer to change that fact, and Jane wasn’t sure how she’d react if he did.

Was that what his game was? To make sure she was so hot for him that when he offered to slake her need, she’d jump at the chance.

Well, Jane would not jump. No matter how hot she was, she promised herself she would not make that jump.

Not that she was delusional.

Grayson would never let things get that far.

She was just
