Chapter 3

Wednesday morning rolled around, and Reider groaned, wishing he still lived at the dorms so he could pull the covers up, go back to sleep, and forget about his business class that afternoon.

“Reider? You awake, son?” Peter, his dad, called up the stairs. “Reider?”

“Yeah, Dad, I’m up!” he yelled, grunting as he pushed himself up out of bed and rubbed his eyes. He’d been up most of the night, trying to think of a way—any way—to get out of this partnership with Johanna Chadwick, but nothing came to mind unless he wanted to drop the class. If he did that, he’d need a damn good reason to tell his parents why it was going to be an extra semester before he graduated.

His earlier classes were as boring as the business one, and he wanted to ask his dad about going out to the ranch over the weekend. He needed to get his hands dirty, work off some stress from this new development, and collect his thoughts. As he headed out his door for the bathroom to hop in the shower, Micah stepped out of the guest room down the hall, his eyes red and swollen.

“Morning, Micah,” Reider called out through a yawn. “Ready for classes today?”

He’d missed his first day because he hadn’t been able to pull himself out of bed for grief, but today he was up and moving around, even dressed. “Think so. Mind if I bum a ride with you to campus?”

Reider forced his face to stay blank as he said sure, while figuring out a way to ensure Micah did not see him anywhere near Johanna. “I think you finish before me, but you can wait in the library or something.”

Micah nodded and said he was going downstairs for breakfast. Reider said he’d be down soon and closed the bathroom door behind him, locking it tightly. While he wanted to say he was still pissed about being partnered with Johanna, his subconscious had something else entirely to say on the matter. His dreams were filled with images of the two of them doing more than shaking hands as they’d done in class. In his dreams, he dragged her up against his body and kissed her fiercely, forgetting the feud between their families. He pushed her back against the desk and held her as his hands roamed over the curves he saw under her tight-fitting jeans and blouse. He woke up more than once during the night, cursing his hard-on.

It's not going to happen, so forget it, he thought, glaring at the accusing member. She’s off-limits—completely off-limits. Besides, she hates me on principle.

He turned the water on cold to chase away the lingering dreams, dragging his mind back to other women more readily available than his enemy. Anyone but a Chadwick.

If you hate her so much, why the hell did you hold her hand so long?

The thought stilled his hand on the shower curtain. He had dismissed the action Monday evening and yesterday, but after dreaming of nothing last night but Johanna, hearing her whisper his name, he remembered taking her hand.
