CHAPTER

23

Ryann happened. She happened right out into their connecting rooms wearing nothing but a skimpy towel just as he was walking through the doorway to give her a room key. Certain he couldn’t bear the temptation and needing to put some space between them after spending the better part of a day cooped up in an SUV with her, he’d booked them each their own room. At her insistence, he’d gotten ones with a connecting door. The closer they got to New York, the antsier he grew, and he suspected Ryann didn’t completely trust him not to flake on her.

They’d been driving all day. She hadn’t brought up their conversation in the motel room or his mother. It seemed as if they’d both mutually agreed those two issues were off the table for conversation. She spent most of the car ride sitting in stony silence, leaving him alone with his thoughts—a dangerous place to be. Whether her silence was brought on by the lasting effects of a hellacious hangover or her still being miffed over his comment to his mom, he couldn’t know.

True to her promise, she’d answered his questions about her involvement with Vincent Moralli, and he’d needed to bite back a foul curse more than once. Ryann was in danger, for more reasons than she realized. After hearing her story, he had no doubt the man had her father killed and had been banking on the life insurance money to resolve his debt. But knowing Vincent Moralli, it wasn’t that simple.

If Aiden were to venture a guess, he’d wager Moralli wanted her for something a hell of a lot more distasteful than paying off her father’s debt. He knew how the bastard thought, he’d been forced to work with him for enough years, seen enough manipulative, underhanded dealings to know he wasn’t going to let Ryann just walk away from this.

She was convinced that after she collected her paycheck from his mother and she paid her father’s debt, that’d be the end of it and fuck him, he hadn’t had the heart to dash her hopes. Time would tell. They’d play it her way and see how it rolled out, but Aiden couldn’t shake the feeling that returning was a mistake, and New York was about to deal them each a life-altering hand.

Aiden hissed a curse and abruptly spun around, giving Ryann his back, but it was too late. He was already hard as a rock, his pulse thundering wildly through his veins, centering in the base of his cock. “I’m sorry, I thought you were still in the shower,” he said to the wall. “I wanted to give you your keycard.”

“Oh . . . umm . . . you can just leave it on the table. Thanks.”

He set the keycard down and had to give his legs a firm command to get their ass moving,
