Gage was irritated with Trent for making Rebecca feel uncomfortable. Sure, she wasn’t the type of woman he normally went for, but so what? Trent didn’t have to point that out.

Taking his mother’s suggestion, Gage quickly gathered their things and led Rebecca upstairs to his childhood bedroom. His old room was still covered in pictures and trophies from his high school days. It was almost like stepping back in time.

He was the only one of his brothers who’d ever lived in this house. Trent and Chris had already been off to college by the time their parents had moved. Paul had been well on his way to establishing a life in Indianapolis with Melissa. They’d just gotten engaged and bought a house of their own.

Once the door was shut behind them and they were safely inside his bedroom, Gage threw the luggage on the double bed and gathered her into his arms. “Are you okay, beautiful?”

She didn’t answer.

Leaning back so that he could see her face, he noticed the blank mask was back. She was looking at him but not, at the same time. He didn’t like it. “Look, I’m sorry about what Trent said. He didn’t mean anything by it.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Of course it does.” Gage didn’t understand why what had happened downstairs irritated him as much as it did, but he was going with it.

“No. It doesn’t.” She tried to back away from him, but he followed her step for step until she was pressed up against the door. There wasn’t anywhere else to go. “We should get back downstairs.”

He could hear a hint of desperation in her voice. No matter what she said, she was as aware of him as he was of her. She wanted him. He just had to figure out how to get past that brain of hers that was always overthinking things.

Deciding to go with his instincts, he cupped her face with his hands, tilting up her head until her lips were right there, ripe for the taking. He took.

To his surprise, she didn’t fight it nearly as much as he thought she would. There was only a moment’s hesitation from her before she released a sigh and kissed him back. She wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him as their lips and tongues moved together. He had no idea how long they stood there, kissing. It seemed that whenever he had her in his arms, time and everything else outside her failed to register. Somewhere along the line he heard a noise out in the hall. If he didn’t end it soon, they were going to be interrupted.

He released her mouth, trailing his lips down her jaw and neck before giving her a gentle bite near the collar of her shirt. She dug her fingers into his neck. He chuckled. “As much as I’d love to continue this, beautiful, we really should get back downstairs.”

Her body went rigid under his hands, and she dropped her arms to her side.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.
