Chapter Thirteen

Arsula opened her eyes to the sound of an infomercial and to the feeling of utter contentment. And then she stared at the profile of the man sleeping next to her. She was in bed with Jaden. Again.

Dang it!

But at least this time they weren’t naked.

She glanced down the length of their bodies, as if to make sure, before rolling from her side to her back. Reinstituting the separation she’d insisted upon when she’d first moved from chair to mattress—and then adding to it by cramming her pillow into the space—she then asked herself what in the heck she thought she was doing.

Sure, the couch was shoved under the television and the chair didn’t come close to being comfortable. But really? Letting herself be talked into his bed? Was she that gullible?

She was not. Nor was she pleased about the feelings she’d awakened from.

She glanced back over at Jaden. Dreams that left a person with such a sense of peace and fulfillment could be a good thing. They could signify a relationship worth exploring—or even one worth hanging on to. But waking with those feelings while curled next to a man who was still hung up on another woman?

Bad thing.

Especially when the idea of being with that man was the furthest thing from her mind.

Almost the furthest thing.

Her breath hitched at the thought, because she had to face up to the fact that the idea of being with Jaden had passed through her awareness a time or two. But only since Megan had offered “permission” to date him. Her thoughts hadn’t ventured into wanting to date him, though. More like . . . what would dating him actually be like? The last few days had been far easier. They’d gotten along better, and there’d been little to no stress. Therefore, against her better judgment, her subconscious had insisted on pulling the idea out at odd hours of the day.

Arsula turned back to the ceiling. She didn’t want to date Jaden. And she wouldn’t even if he had moved on from Megan. He was her “charge,” not a potential boyfriend. Not to mention, his attitude thoroughly reeked of superiority.

His head jerked suddenly, pulling Arsula’s attention back to him, and she watched as his eyes twitched behind his lids. He was having a dream.

“Dad.” The single word came out sharp and loud. “Daaaaad!”

She felt like an interloper as she lay there, but her need to help wouldn’t let her look away.

“Where are you?” he whispered now, and heartbreak pulled at his features. Then he jerked again, and this time the move dragged him from the dream.

He seemed dazed as his eyes opened, and as he lay there, eyes blinking and his breathing coming back under control, Arsula held her breath. She waited for him to see her. To remember that halfway through the movie she’d climbed into bed beside him. And she wondered what he’d think about it this time.

Finally, he seemed to focus, and his gaze went to the TV. Then to the ceiling.
