“Oh no,” Emily whispered softly as she stood at the front counter in the restaurant.

I was watching her from behind and didn’t mind so much the idea of her turning around and catching me. She was stunning and left my body aching in ways I didn’t know were possible. What I wouldn’t give to have the right to move up behind her and wrap her in a tight hug, pulling her close and loving on her like I wanted someone to love on me.

“What’s up?” I walked up beside her as she jumped.

“Oh, sorry. My sister just texted finally.”

“She okay?”

“Yeah, but she can’t find my mother. I guess she didn’t come home from work last night, and my sister called up there and they haven’t seen her either.” She closed her eyes and dropped her chin to her chest. “Why can’t anyone just get their shit together long enough for me to have a day of peace?”

“Because we live in a crazy world. Let’s clock out and I’ll go with you to look for her.” I touched her back softly, praying like hell that she would take me up on the offer. A movie would have been better, but there was no way we were moving from the tension we had the day before to being lovers without me trying to weasel my way into her heart as a friend.

“What? No way. That’s not happening.” She turned and walked to the back. “I can’t deal with my shit on my own most of the time. I’m not bringing you into the middle of it too. No way.”

“Yes way. I don’t wanna deal with the shit out at the Omega House right now. Give me an out and let me just come tag along. Besides, I have my truck with me and you might need me.”

She clocked out and turned to face me as tears filled her eyes. “Why are you being nice to me, Jacob?”

“Because Micah thinks you’re something special, and I do too, honestly.” I reached out and brushed a tear from her cheek. “Stop pushing me away.”

“I’m not sleeping with you again. I can’t.”

“I get that. I’m not trying to get into your panties. Stop making me out to be a monster. I beat up your piece of shit boyfriend twice in the last two days and now I want to help with your mom. It’s that simple, all right? Maybe I’m looking for a friendship. You know, like me and Layla have.” I was lying through my fucking teeth, but it was all I could offer in my desperation to have her see the real me.

“And what do you expect in return?” She glanced around and let out a soft sigh. “Nothing is free around here. Everything has a cost.”

I moved around her and put my arm over her shoulders. “I just want to get to know you, Em. With your clothes on, all right?”

“Fine, but if you hurt me…”

“What?” I jerked back. “I would never hurt a woman.
