Chapter Eleven

All it took was a thirty-minute boat ride to Reed’s grandfather’s secluded island to make her forget everything that had taken place in Reed’s apartment. It must have been the light blue skies and the salty breeze that helped take her mind off of how protective Reed had gotten when he found out how she had been treated. Or the fact that he called her his family.

She swallowed as she rubbed her upper arms. Even though it was warm, the wind whipped around her, chilling her skin.

“Here,” Reed’s low voice said from behind her.

She turned to see that he’d removed his suit coat and held it out for her.

“Thanks,” she said, slipping in one arm and then the other.

He helped her pull it up onto her back. For a moment, his hands lingered on her shoulders before he dropped them. Her skin tingled from the absence of his touch.

Swallowing, she glanced over at him. “This is amazing.”

Reed squinted toward the water that surrounded them. “Yeah. Grandpa Williamson knows how to pick a place to call home.”

Lillian nodded. “He really does.”

The boat captain, Roger, pulled the boat up to the dock and left it idling. Once it was secured, he opened the gate and rolled out the walkway that led from the boat to the dock.

Lillian could feel Reed hesitate next to her. It was as if he didn’t want to leave. Feeling the urge to comfort him, she reached out and entwined her fingers with his. She felt his gaze bore into her as he studied her. Not sure what to do, she started to walk toward the dock.

Reed followed her, keeping their contact. Her heart hammered in her chest as she stepped onto the dock still holding his hand. It was almost like they belonged together. Like they were meant to do this all along. Her mind swam with thoughts of Reed. How he’d taken care of her. Let her into his life that had so many people in it. What a contrast to her lonely one.

They made their way across the backyard and up to the house that sat at the top of the hill. The outside walls were completely covered with a grey stone. The same material made up the steps and patio that led up to huge windows where two sliding doors sat open. Drapes waved and shifted in the breeze.

There were pots that exploded with flowers next to tall light posts that hugged the path they were on. Lillian couldn’t help but sigh from the utter beauty around her.

Reed’s soft chuckle drew her attention over to him. He was watching her which surprised her. How could he be looking at her when there was so much to see around them?

“Do you like this place?” he asked. His voice grew louder as he leaned toward her.

He was inches away from him. She could feel his closeness even though only their hands were touching.

Lillian focused her thoughts and nodded. “It’s beautiful.”

“It is.”

When she glanced up at him, she saw him staring down at her.
