Nineteen

I wake in an unfamiliar room with an unfamiliar soreness between my legs and a feeling of dread hanging over me like thunderclouds. I look around in confusion. It takes a moment for my brain to kick into gear. When it does, I groan and close my eyes.

I had sex with my husband.

Rough, passionate, filthy hot sex, which I loved with every ounce of my being.

This has heartbreak written all over it.

“Good morning.”

I tilt my head toward the husky voice near my right ear and look up into Callum’s face. I’m lying against his nude body, tucked under his arm with one of my legs resting over his and an arm thrown over his broad chest.

We’re cuddling? What a disaster.

Feeling embarrassed and a little shy, I say, “Good morning. Where am I?”

“Our bedroom.”

“Right. I suppose I should’ve recognized the girly floral prints and dainty antique furniture. What am I doing here?”

“Why wouldn’t you be here?”

“I should be in my own bedroom.”

“You are in your own bedroom.”

When I open my mouth to protest that my room is the green guest room, he adds, “End of discussion.”

“Aw, that’s cute. You actually believe that, don’t you?”

Rolling me onto my back, he settles himself on top of me and stares down into my face.

“I’m not intimidated by that look, Callum.”

“You should be.”

“Annoyance always gives me courage. I can’t breathe with you on top of me like this. You weigh as much as a small European car.”

“That’s the strangest compliment I’ve ever been given.”

“It wasn’t a compliment.”

He kisses the tip of my nose. “I love it when you glare at me like that. Small evil things are my favorite.”

“Get a Chihuahua. What are you going to tell your police chief buddy when I suffocate to death?”

He smiles. “That you died happy.”

I close my eyes and sigh.

Lowering his head, he whispers into my ear, “Your mouth is heaven.”

I feel my cheeks heating, but don’t open my eyes. A Technicolor highlight reel of last night’s fun starts to play under my lids.

“I have something to say.”

He chuckles. “There you go with the announcements again.”

“Be quiet. Okay, here it is.”

When I hesitate, he says, “Are you going to open your eyes for this?”

“No.”

“It’s that bad that you can’t look me in the eye?”

“Yes. I mean, no. I don’t know. Be quiet!”

He drops his face to my neck and smothers a laugh.

Happy Callum is interesting. And confusing. How many personalities does this man have?

“So here’s the thing. I enjoyed last night. A lot. Which you could probably tell by all the screaming. Anyway…” I clear my throat. “This is the strangest relationship I’ve ever had. Which is saying something, because my taste in men tends to run to walking red flags with good hair. But I don’t do well with ambiguity, and mysteries don’t intrigue me. They just make my anxiety worse. So I’m going to ask a question, and I’d appreciate it if you’d be brutally honest in your answer.”

Inhaling a shaky breath, I brace myself. “I know
