Chapter Nine

Ren’s eyes blinked open in the early morning darkness and he stared into his unfamiliar surroundings, momentarily disoriented until he remembered that he was in Kylie’s warm, homey bedroom, that she had finally permitted him access to her home, and that he had spent the night in her bed and in her arms. She had taken him to the place she called home, had let him into the sanctuary she shared only with her son, made sweet, sweet love to him in the one place in the world where she should be the safest from all outside threats.

And he was about to get up and search the place.

Ren felt bile and last night’s pizza rise in his throat as he looked over at the sleeping woman.

She did do things to him that no other woman had ever done before, investigation or no. That had been on his mind last night when he’d made love to her so desperately: that no matter what she was or what she did, she had touched him in a way that no other woman ever had or could.

Kylie rolled over into the slats of sunlight coming through the lowered blinds and scrambled to find her buzzing phone. Damn, what time was it? She’d meant to get up and cook Ren’s breakfast before she sent him on his way, but she’d overslept and that was probably Lexi calling to say she was on her way home with the kids, so she would either have to send Ren home with no shower or food, or drop her pretense in front of Danny and the girls. She fumbled around in her handbag and the pockets of her dress before she
