He’d left her bed at the first streaks of dawn and slunk back to his room, confused and weighed down by heavy guilt. He didn’t want to want her. He didn’t want to like her. But he did. He’d thought foolishly that his irrational pining after her would subside once he had her, but it didn’t. This morning, he’d wanted more than anything to stay wrapped in her arms, to watch consciousness slip into her skin, to protect her, to plan a future with her. To be her anchor in the storm that began for her yesterday and would undoubtedly get much worse before it broke. But he could do none of these things. So he’d left her bed while she slept—like the underhanded sneak he was.

He desperately wanted to protect her, but how could he do so if he didn’t know everything about her? She’d been so strong at the shop, so self-possessed, and yet last night she’d allowed him to glimpse her vulnerability, allowed him to care for her. It was an awesome responsibility. One thing he knew: the decision was already made; he would protect her just as he would everyone he . . .

The swell of emotion in his chest surely went beyond altruism. But it wasn’t love. The overwhelming pleasure and desire to please that he’d experienced with her again and again in the night went beyond physical need. But that signaled affection, not love. He’d guarded his heart so carefully, so completely. Yet she’d stumbled past his defenses, as if by accident. Whatever he felt for her, he must fold her into the same absolute haven he ensured for his mother and his siblings. His life had been lived for them, and now he had to adjust the equation.

But what if she finds out about Withersby?
