Chapter 11

Micah had no idea exactly what time it was, but if he had to guess, he would assume it was close to 3 a.m. The parade had been amazing and the time he’d spent with Lex had been even better.

After the parade, he’d introduced her to several townspeople who were close friends with his parents and informed them that he was planning a surprise anniversary party for them. As suspected, every person they spoke with was eager to attend and claimed it would be the biggest celebration in town history. When Lex’s eyes landed on him questionably, he had to explain that not a lot happened in Cranberry Heights. Even marriages were few because a lot of couples found solace in Cranberry Heights after they married, while those raised here were eager to get out. It was a great town, but it had taken a hard hit after the economic downfall, leaving many future residents on a search to find something better. The winter festival was one of the few annual events that brought back old residents, new residents and tourists alike.

Although the day may have gone great, the night was an entirely different story. This is ridiculous! Micah thought as he discreetly glanced over at Lex. He knew she wasn’t asleep, but she was adamant on pretending to be. When they got back to Madden Manor and retired to their room, Lex had gotten all antsy and jumpy. Last night, Micah had crept into the bedroom after Lex had fallen asleep and she had been sprawled on the bed snoring softly. She’d looked so cute and he didn’t want to wake her, so he slept on the couch and was gone before she woke up.

Now, not only was she as quiet as a mouse and had been for the past two hours, she also hadn’t moved a muscle. There was no way that wild sleeper from last night was the composed sleeper lying beside him in bed right now. They were separated by several oversize pillows and concealed under a soft velour cover, but he could still feel the heat between them lingering in the air, hiding under the sheets, and taunting his state of mind.

Damn! I feel like a horny-ass teenager. It was bad enough he was hard as hell with no signs of going down before sunrise. But even worse, he was lying still, not moving an inch, all because he knew she was doing the same damn thing. He’d been reduced to one of those lame men who shared beds with women they weren’t sleeping with. I can’t do this every night...especially when she’s within arms reach.

Deciding to test his theory and see if she was really sleeping, he moved a couple inches toward the middle of the bed to see what she would do. Within seconds, she scooted a little more toward her edge of the bed. Really? All this just to avoid being next to me?

He moved another inch toward the middle of the bed, only this time he had to move halfway on the pillows that separated them.
