Chapter 9
When Riordan came home from school that afternoon, he didnât find Sam in the house. He headed to the back door, thinking she might be digging around in the tree roots for that necklace, but when he opened it up, the sight of his back garden made him stop short.
His completely barren back garden. Holy. Shit. Everything was gone. The weeds, yes, but also the scraggly plants that had been there when heâd first moved in, the rocks heâd piled in the corner by the fenceâ¦even the grass.
All it wasâ¦was dirt.
âWell, fuck me,â he breathed, standing and simply staring in awe at the cleared space.
âOkay, but Iâll need to shower first.â Samâs voice came from over on the side of the house, and he looked up to her walking toward him from Jamesâs fence line.
She was rumpled and dirty and she had a smudge of mud on her cheek, but all his body could think was, Christ yes letâs go.
There was no use denying it. He wanted to. Ever since that first night sheâd slept in his house, heâd wanted to put himself in her.
No, wait. It was the first moment heâd opened the door to her, that morning when sheâd shown up out of the blue like some gift from a minor god who enjoyed fucking with peopleâs lives in fun and interesting ways. Because she was fun and interesting, wasnât she? She was certainly creative, fearless, and a little bonkers. But she was willing to take Mum to a strip joint and befriend an old horticulturalist, too, and somehow despite the odd way theyâd started, he found himself starting to actually like her.
Sheâd made him breakfast and nosed through his studio and made him feel like maybe he wasnât so alone in this world.
But he couldnât well respond with, Iâm ready and then whip his wire out. She hadnât even been supposed to hear him say those words.
Fuck me.
She had to have been joking with her response.
Right?
He nodded to himself. Yes. Definitely joking. Because he might explode right here if he thought she might have been even a little bit serious.
He tipped his chin out at the garden. âLooks bang up proper. Have you found the necklace?â
She blushed at that, which he found funny. So making sex jokes wouldnât even have her batting an eyelash, but talking about her grandmotherâs necklace was cause for embarrassment?
He found himself liking her quirky ways.
âIâactually, I havenât done any digging for it today. Weâve just been cleaning up and planning andââ
âWe?â
âOh, uhâ¦James and I. He just went back to his place. I tried to tempt him with dinner but he said he wanted to get some rest in before tomorrow.â
He frowned. âWhatâs tomorrow?â
But she just shrugged and said, rather mysteriously, âSomething big. But itâs a surprise. Youâll see.â
He shoved his hands in his pockets so that he wouldnât be tempted to grab her and kiss her for being so deliciously impish. âHas anyone ever told you youâre insane?â he asked instead. But he was smiling when he said it, and she smiled back.
