CHAPTER 22

TRAVIS MILLER

Lindsay was still in my arms when I woke up the next morning, and while my parents may have had something to say about that, I didn’t care. I was a grown man, and frankly I was over their conservative rules.

Besides, someone else had spent the night in my bed.

How fucking awkward was that?

When her lips started moving in toward mine, I knew it was all wrong. I knew I didn’t want to kiss her even though there had been countless nights I’d dreamt about that very thing.

When I was in my bedroom talking with Jules, all I could think about was that she wasn’t Lindsay. All I could think about was how I hadn’t even known what real love was until the moment I realized I was in love with Lindsay.

I knew Jules was acting out of desperation. It wasn’t about her and me and starting fresh. It was about the fact that she was hurting and it was a habit for her to turn to me for comfort. Maybe it was even about her striking out to piss off her fiancé, but I couldn’t give her the type of comfort she was seeking. What I had with Lindsay was serious, and now that I had the opportunity to see her interact with my family, I realized how serious it was.

She was part of my family now. I watched her with my nephews, and Parker and Jackson loved her. I could see the joy in her eyes as she played with the kids, and I knew that someday she would be the best mother on the planet. And I wanted to be by her side, allowing her to shape me into the kind of father I’d always dreamed of being.

The house was still when I woke, Lindsay breathing deeply next to me. I rolled over, careful not to disturb my sleeping beauty, and walked down the hall. I glanced out the front window and saw Julianne pulling away, and an odd weightless feeling took over my senses.

Relief.

She was gone.

I bypassed my bedroom, thinking back to the night before when I’d accidentally confessed to Lindsay that Jules had nearly kissed me.

I had just joined her back on the couch to watch the movie, and I could tell she wasn’t hitting the Play button until I explained everything.

Fucking women.

“What the hell does she want?” Lindsay whispered.

I rolled my eyes. “She and Nick are fighting.”

“Should I go talk to her?”

I laughed. Loudly.

“Uh, no. I don’t think so.”

She narrowed her gaze at me. “You don’t have to be mean about it.”

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you. I just don’t think that would be a great idea.”

“Why not?”

“Didn’t you just tell me you wanted to kick her teeth in?”

She nodded.

“Well after the way she just tried to kiss me, I don’t think—”

“What?” she screeched.

Oops.

Fuck.

I wasn’t thinking. It just slipped out of my mouth.

She stood up from her seat on the couch and started pacing.

It was funny that she had nicknamed me “Tiger,” because she was walking back and forth in front of me like a damn caged tiger herself.
