Paige tried and failed to shake the feeling she was being watched. She sat on the deck of the main

house, picking at the food Bailey’s mother had prepared.

“You feeling all right?” Bailey asked.

“I’m fine. Why?”

“You’ve hardly said more than a few words and I don’t think you’ve heard a word I’ve said.”

She set her fork down. “I heard you.”

He gave her an amused look. “Oh, really? Then where did I suggest we take our honeymoon?”

She gulped. Okay, maybe she hadn’t been listening to him. “Someplace romantic?” she asked,

hopeful she could skate on such a thin answer.

Bailey snickered. “If your feet are getting cold, I could warm them for you.” The innuendo wasn’t

lost on her. “I have to get back to work but later tonight I could warm you up real nice.”

“Tonight is date night.” She winked. “You’re not trying to get out of having to take me out on the

town, are you?”

A mock gasp came from him. “I would never.”

“Right.”

He blushed. “Didn’t hurt to try to get out of dancing, right?”

“No.” She giggled. “I guess it didn’t, but you’re still meeting me for date night. Like it or not. And,

Bailey, what if we waited a little while to get married.”

He began to toy with his paper plate. “Are you telling me you want out of this?”

“No, I’m just trying to avoid rushing into anything. I’d like some more time.”

“If it’s time you need, Paige, it’s time you’ll have.” He kissed the back of her hand. “I want you to

be happy.”

She wanted to be happy too but Paige knew Bailey wasn’t the man who could make that happen. It

pained her to know in the end he would be hurt if she dared to give in to the pull Sachin seemed to have

over her.

“Penny for your thoughts.”

She took his hand and rubbed it over her cheek. “You’re a good man, Bailey. Too good for me.”

Bailey slid around to her side of the table and pressed his lips to her cheek. The feel of him so close

normally made her crave his affection. Not now. No, now she couldn’t resist glancing towards an

oversized oak tree that sat near the deck. Something was watching her, or someone.

Sachin.

If what she suspected was true, he very well could be near and she would be none the wiser. Paige

held tight to her emotions, unwilling to let on about her fears and suspicions. Bailey would never

understand. He’d think she was crazy and he could try to harm the people she cared most about.

Bailey leaned in, his mouth greeting hers. He wasn’t the man she wanted to spend her life with but he

was the only one who was reliable. The next best thing. She gave in and pressed her lips to his. Closing

her eyes, Paige opened her mouth as Bailey swept his tongue in. He moaned and she tipped her head.

He inched closer and Paige squirmed, adjusting to get comfortable.

The sound of a bird screeching jarred her from their kiss just in time for a massive amount of bird

poop to land on Bailey’s head.
