Chapter 6

The aroma of coffee, bacon and eggs tickled Sandy’s nose in her sleep and she smiled. Lifting her arms, she stretched on the bed like a cat and opened her eyes.

Instantly, she recalled that she was no longer in the hospital and was now at Seth and Malcolm’s ranch. The empty space beside her on the bed gave her a little cause for concern.

Last night, she had thought that Seth would make love to her, but after a steaming goodnight kiss, he had pulled away and left her alone in the room.

She had ached to call him back to ask him if anything was wrong. But afraid of looking too forward, she had decided he most likely thought that she needed to rest.

Seth probably had no idea she was okay now and wouldn’t need to be treated like an invalid, which she guessed was his plan.

Determined to have a talk with him, Sandy was rising from the bed when a soft knock sounded on the door and then it opened to admit Seth.

Her breath seized in her chest when Seth came into the room looking quite dashing in a black shirt and blue jeans. His jet-black hair was pulled back and Sandy ached to run her fingers through the dark tresses.

A smile tugged at his lips as he crossed the room and placed the tray he was carrying on the bedside table.

“Good morning,” he cheerfully said and leaned down to place a chaste kiss on her cheek. Headiness swept through her at the scent of his musky aftershave.

Disappointed, she looked away and said, “Good morning.”

“How are you feeling today?”

She shrugged. If he was going to continue treating her like an invalid, she might as well go and stay with Aunt Karen. At least there, she wouldn’t see Seth and keep fantasizing about him making love to her.

“Are you all right?”

His softly asked question made her shift her gaze from the bed to him again. The love she read in his eyes had tears stinging in hers.

If he loved her so much, why was he treating her like she had the plague or something?

You have probably forgotten how protective he is. Seth undoubtedly thinks you’re still very weak.

It was left to her to prove to him that she was fine. In fact, more than fine if she was thinking of him taking her to bed again.

“I don’t know. You tell me.” She folded her arms across her chest.

Something like alarm flashed in his eyes. She couldn’t be sure since it was gone in an instant.

“What are you talking about?” he questioned in a guarded tone.

She raised her hands and dropped them in frustration. “I don’t know what happened between the time of the accident and my waking up at the hospital but I feel something is terribly wrong.”

His eyes narrowed. “What do you mean?”

Licking her dry lips and staring pointedly at him, she answered, “I’ve noted how you keep your distance from me. You barely touch me. When you do, it’s very brief.
