EIGHTEEN

Kjar met Jaycie at the front door and ushered her in. They were quiet as they made their way to his room on the upper floor. As soon as he closed the door behind him, she felt a rush of adrenaline. He hadn’t bothered to dress, wearing a pair of fitted shorts and no shirt.

His bare chest flexed as her gaze landed on his muscled abs and traveled lower. She raised her gaze only to find him watching her with those calm silver eyes.

Twisting her fingers together, she tossed a bright smile his way and rocked on her hips. “Hey again.”

The corner of his lips twitched as he moved toward the open door down the hall. “Come on.”

Her shoulders slumped in relief and she followed him into his bedroom. The covers were pulled back on the left where he’d probably been asleep when she commed. Her gaze flew around the space and everything was as she’d remembered.

Simple, colorless and without fanfare but comfortable.

Kjar sat on the edge of the bed and waved her to the other side. She hurried to the right and climbed in. He swung his legs up and pulled the covers over them.

Once she was settled, he curled into her and wrapped his arms around her waist. She closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath. Kjar’s scent immediately flooded her nasal passages and the irritating buzz that had followed her for months eased.

She drew in another breath and exhaled, allowing her weight to settle against him. Her arms bent in front of her and she planted her palms firmly on Kjar’s chest. His heart thumped in a steady rhythm beneath them.

Nuzzling closer, his scent surrounded her as his hand glided up and down her back. The repeated motion drained the last of her frazzled emotions away as nothing else could.

This was why she’d come. Only with him did she feel this sense of peace. No demands, no expectations, no pressure. The three things that tended to run her life.

She should say something, share what she felt. Her lips parted to speak but Kjar tightened his hold and beat her to it. “Shhh. Sleep.”

Going straight to bed had always been hard for her. Worrying thoughts and anxiety tended to keep her tense but in Kjar’s arms she was able to let go. No need to be anything more than who she was. She nestled her head on the curve of his shoulder.

Being around him made her feel completely safe and this time proved no different. Before she knew it, her eyes fluttered and slowly closed. Every few seconds she jerked, remembered where she was and calmed.

“It’s alright,” he murmured in her ear. “I’m right here.”

To reinforce his statement, thick waves of his hair locked around her arms, shoulders and hips until she was surrounded in a cocoon of white. It was as if a puzzle piece had been missing and now fit perfectly. Kjar. This time when she drifted next, sleep held her under.

Kjar buried his face in the top of Jaycie’s hair.
