CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Micah couldn't sleep. He just kept playing over and over in his mind how Sam had felt in his arms and the way her hand had touched him with such care. No one spoke to him with such obstinacy, and no one seemed to care as much, either, despite only knowing him for less than a week. Sam had his heart in a twist, a tug of war to stay put or go to her.

He rolled his head on the couch cushion he was using for a pillow and stared at the drapes. If she decided to run out the door right now, he wouldn't be able to stop her. Apostle and his team of drecks were out there, though…somewhere. And they would be looking for her. The sunlight didn't affect them like it did him and most of the others. Just the thought made him feel helpless. Maybe making an alliance with a day walker like Trace had been a good decision, after all. Which reminded him…he picked his phone up off the coffee table and texted Trace, asking him if he'd been able to get Sam's things from the club.

Trace returned his text immediately: Yes. Will give to you tonight at AKM.

Micah tossed his phone aside and tried closing his eyes, but it was no use.

Suddenly, he needed to know Sam was okay. He already knew she was still awake. He could feel her mind working and worrying. After swinging his legs off the couch and pulling on a pair of sweats, he went to the kitchen and flipped on the light. A pot of tea and a snack would do them both good. He heated water for the tea while he made a pair of roast beef sandwiches, cutting them diagonally when he was finished, then loaded everything on a tray and carried it to his bedroom. He gently pushed open the door.

"I can't sleep," she said as he entered, as if she had been expecting him.

"I know. Me neither. Maybe this will help." He carried the tray through the dark room to the bed as she sat up and pulled the blankets around her. She was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, but maybe just the simple idea of being in bed around him made her uncomfortable. Or maybe the prim behavior was just habit. "We can eat in the kitchen if that would make you more comfortable."

"No, I'm fine. This is fine."

"I hope you like roast beef." He held out one of the triangles of sandwich and she smiled as she took it.

"Love it."

He poured two cups of tea, and for a few minutes, neither of them spoke as they ate.

"I guess I laid a lot on you tonight," he said, picking up the second half of his sandwich.

"I'll get over it."

"You shouldn't have to."

She shrugged and sipped her tea. "It's okay, Micah. I'll be fine."

He wanted her to be more than fine. Micah wanted her safe, and he wanted her happy. This affair with the drecks wasn't meant for someone like her, exquisite and perfect in every way.
