KIERAN SAT ON the front steps of the stable house, a long, low building that housed four identical rooms. Each had a small galley kitchen, a sitting area with a fireplace and a comfortable bed, one that seemed very empty without Maddie.

He stared up at the main house, wondering which room was hers. The lights had been turned off long ago, the only illumination coming from the porch. He closed his eyes and laid back on the cool wood of the porch floor.

Though it was nice to see Maddie with her grandparents, he much preferred their time on the road. He’d had her completely to himself and it was a luxury that he missed already. She’d barely left his side for four straight days and now they were separated by a hundred yards at the most. It might as well have been a hundred miles.

He glanced at his watch. It was already past midnight. She’d probably been so exhausted she’d fallen asleep. Maybe it was time for him to give up and turn in himself. Kieran pushed to his feet and pulled the screen door open.

A ceiling fan whirred above his head, keeping the room cooler than the outside temperature, which had to be close to eighty. He wore only his boxers, but it wasn’t enough. His skin was covered by a light sheen of perspiration.

He flopped down on the bed and stared up at the ceiling, watching the fan blades as they created a blur of movement. Though it had taken him a bit longer to reach his destination, Kieran knew he’d have to start making some plans of his own.

He couldn’t continue sponging off of Maddie and he wasn’t about to take advantage of her grandparents either. Tomorrow morning, he’d have to find work. He’d drive into Bitney and see what his original destination had to offer.

Kieran drew a deep breath and let it out slowly. Hell, he’d rather jump back in the car and head off on another road trip with Maddie. They’d had so much fun together, living without a care in the world.

But now, he felt a distance between them. They were back in the real world, where running away became an irresponsible act and sleeping with a lover was beyond the bounds of propriety.

He closed his eyes, hoping that sleep would come quickly. But the heat was making it almost impossible to relax. Still, he must have dozed off because the next thing he knew, Maddie was crawling into bed beside him.

Her hand skimmed down his chest before her fingers wrapped around his shaft. At first, Kieran though he might be dreaming. But the sensations were too intense, too real to be happening only in his mind.

Kieran rolled onto his side and looked at her in the dim light from the beside lamp. “Hi,” he murmured.

“Hi,” she replied.

He kissed her softly. In a single moment, the world was right again. They were together, lying next to each other, able to touch and talk at will.
