Chapter Sixteen

Honey

I almost feel bad for Bear. I don’t know how long he paces up and down the hallway, worry etched on his face. I’m sure Paige’s words are running on a loop in his mind. I know they are mine. This is all a giant mess. I still can’t believe what happened between Bear and me.

I’m blaming it on my hormones. And the fact that the past month has been super stressful with everything that happened. But I can’t think about any of that now. The main focus is making sure Paige is okay. I hate the fact that she’s hurting.

I’ve always loved little kids for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the system, they were always around. I’d bounced around homes a bit growing up and I almost always ended up giving an extra hand when it came to the little ones. I enjoyed it. Being a nanny was an easy choice for me when I graduated high school. College was more of a pipe dream.

If I ever had the chance to really go, it would have been for teaching or early education. When I’d gotten the job with the Lawrence family it was perfect. Not only did I get to be a nanny, but I got a roof over my head in a freaking dream home. They provided everything for me. It was the first time in my life that I didn’t have to worry.

While education was important to me, my real dream was to have a family of my own. To raise my own little ones. This past month living with Bear and Paige has made me realize much I truly wanted a family of my own. The three of us had fallen into this easy routine that made it feel real. Bear had really filled the shoes of fatherhood. That alone has been playing with my head.

Earlier, when he had pressed his mouth to mine, I lost all thoughts. The only thing I knew was I needed to get him inside of me. That I wanted to get lost in the fantasy of him and me being real. Hell, of all of this being real. I can’t fault him either. He’d clearly been lost in the moment too.

In all honesty, with each day that passes, I’ve fallen a little more for Bear. With the way he treats not only Paige but me too. It would be hard not to. He’s shown a side of himself that I’m sure not many people get to see. A more vulnerable one.

He’s become my protector too. More than he knows. Since I’ve come to stay with him, I don’t watch over my shoulder anymore or think someone from my old life might find me and make their way into the house. I know there’s no way in hell that Bear would allow that to happen.

I peek open the door and look down the hallway. Seeing the coast is clear, I head for Paige’s door, giving it a soft knock.
