Chapter 15

Brody

Sitting in my car outside of Alyssa’s house, I stare at her front door. I have no clue what I’m doing here. I went home after locking up The Haven and took a shower, but I couldn’t stop worrying about her safety. What if this Chad dude tries something before they can arrest him? What if they’ve already arrested him, he got out on bail, and he’s pissed enough at her to retaliate?

That thought had me flying out the door of my house and heading straight to hers. I called Hunter on the way, with my brand new cell phone Casey had bought for me a few days ago, and told him that I needed him to cover me at the bar. He didn’t ask any questions or chastise me. It was the first time I’ve missed work, and he just said “No problem”.

Now as I sit out here, I have to wonder if there’s another reason why I’m in her driveway. I’m worried about her, sure. But that emotion just started today, and that alone isn’t enough to drive me here. I’m wise enough to know that I sure as hell have been having other feelings where she’s concerned.

There’s no denying that she has stepped inside a circle of trust with me, which makes her far more than just a casual friend. After unburdening to her, I felt lighter than I’ve ever felt in my life. It was actually healing to know that there is one person in this world that knows I didn’t kill someone. That one person heard the undeniable truth and won’t have to look upon me with some level of disappointment, loathing, or sadness.

It means I have one person in my corner.

Then there’s one other thing that I feel toward Alyssa.

Lust.

She’s been under my skin for a long time now. As much as I keep pushing her away from me physically, I can’t seem to push her out of my mind. And I’m not sure I want to fight against it anymore.

Getting out of my car, I walk up the staircase of her stilt cottage. I have no clue what I’ll even say to her when she opens the door, but that doesn’t stop me from raising my fist and rapping against the wood sharply.

After a few moments, I hear her unlocking her deadbolt and she’s swinging the door open. My throat tightens with how beautiful she is. She’s wearing similar pajamas to what she had on the other night, loose pants, this time in a baby pink color, and a white tank top that molds provocatively over her breasts.

“How did you know it was me?” I ask with censure. “You shouldn’t just open your door up to anyone.”

Stepping up to the doorway, Alyssa points over my shoulder. As I turn to look, I see a security camera mounted to the ceiling of her front porch.

“I have a monitor on the security panel. I knew it was you,” she says with a smile.

She looks
