Chapter fifteen

Ryker

My body ached. I rolled over with a groan. The afternoon slowly returned to me, the snowstorm, Lance, and even Emma’s strange behaviour after I admitted my feelings to her. A glance to my right confirmed that she was still fast asleep on the blanket. What was she dreaming about? I wish I could see inside her head right now. But maybe I don’t. What if all of this was for nothing? The fight with Greg, pouring out my heart to her, everything could be for nothing if she didn’t return my feelings. I watched her for a few minutes, her cheeks flushed from the heat cast by the smouldering embers of the fire. She stirred but didn’t wake. I turned and looked straight out the window. What time was it? It looked like the snow had stopped, but it was pitch dark outside. Night had fallen while we slept.

I realized I should probably check if the roads are clear and wake Emma. But she looked so peaceful. I didn’t want to disturb her. Instead, I crouched down next to her and slipped my arms beneath her legs and back, lifting her. She mumbled something in her sleep and buried her head in my shoulder. My heart swelled, and I smiled sadly down at her as I carried her out of her office.

Upstairs, I used my foot to nudge open the bedroom door. Careful not to let it hit her as I carried her over the threshold and gently laid her out on the bed. She looked so peaceful, lying there with her hair golden hair spread out over the pillow. I wanted to join her. Instead, I grabbed a blanket from the end of the bed and draped it over her, bending to tuck it in around her.

“I love you, Ryker,” she whispered.

I thought she was still sleeping, but the words lit a fire of hope in my chest. I planned to go back downstairs and clean up from our picnic. But Emma had other ideas. Her arms wrapped around my neck, pulling me down to the bed. Surprised, I nearly landed on her. Emma giggled.

“Think that’s funny, huh?” I tried to sound serious, but the giant grin on my face belied my words. She answered with more giggling. If I remember correctly, Emma was very ticklish. I tested my memory and paid her back by tickling the insides of her elbow. She shrieked and wriggled. Trying to get away. But I wasn’t about to let her go. I climbed on the bed and pulled her back to me, tickling her mercilessly. Laughter filled the room. Merging with her shrieks.

Emma reached behind her, distracting me with her lithe body splayed out beneath me on the bed. I paused, lust filling my veins. I lowered my head to kiss her and was struck by a pillow. It hit me in the side of the head with surprising force. Feathers snowed down around us. I growled playfully, and Emma laughed.

“Think that’s funny, huh?” I asked.
