Chapter 14

Noah entered the spare bathroom and cranked on the shower. Dawn had sneaked up on him, and with it came a whole host of things he’d rather not think about with his heart still beating like a drum and sweat cooling his body, which even now was half ready to go again.

In fact, with just one encouraging word from Bailey, he’d—

Hell. He’d have done whatever she wanted, and more.

Sap. Sucker.

Idiot.

But she hadn’t given him any encouraging words at all. She’d sat up, and he’d known without even looking at her that she was thinking so hard her head hurt, because the tension radiating off her had filled the room.

He’d never met a woman who could think so damn hard.

He stepped into the shower and scalded himself, and when he was done, he went downstairs to the kitchen and straight for the chocolate glazed donuts.

On his first bite, his cell phone began vibrating. He heard the master bedroom shower go on, and he thought of Bailey, naked beneath the streaming water, and his entire body tensed because apparently, his dick hadn’t gotten the memo that Bailey was bad for him.

Extremely bad.

He opened his cell. “What?”

“Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Shayne.

Noah rubbed his temples. “How do you know I’m not?”

“Because you wouldn’t have answered. You having wild monkey sex with a snow bunny yet?”

He glanced upward at the ceiling and once again pictured Bailey. Wild monkey sex? How about the best sex of his life? “Uh…”

“You did not catch a bunny that fast.”

Noah had to let out a short laugh. “You would have.”

“Yes, but I haven’t gone six months without so much as looking at a woman either.”

Noah didn’t know what to say to that.

“Listen, Noah.” Shayne paused. “I know.”

“Yeah? You know what?”

“That you have Bailey Sinclair with you.”

“Jesus, Brody is such a woman. Tell him that for me, would you?”

Shayne didn’t bite. “You still have her, right?”

The shower turned off. She was probably reaching for a towel to rub all over her body, a body that he could be rubbing all over himself right this minute if he hadn’t been such an idiot.

“She’s trouble, Noah. As in she’s in it up to her eyeballs. And if she’s hanging with the same crowd her husband was, she’s no good for you.”

“Yeah, listen, I’ve got to go.”

“She stowed away on you for crissakes.”

“She had…reasons.” What the hell was he doing, defending her? But he couldn’t seem to get around the fact that she hadn’t been in cahoots with those men; she’d been on the run from them. He believed in her. He just didn’t know why.

“I don’t know what kind of sob story she gave you,” Shayne said. “But we should be calling the authorities. We should—”

“I can handle this.”

Shayne was quiet a moment. “I fueled up the Moody. I’m coming up there.”

“I can handle this.”

Bailey walked into the kitchen then, looking like a million bucks, though how she’d done it in so short of a time was a marvel. She’d obviously gone through
