PART THREE

Chapter Thirteen

Ellen woke slowly, coming into the morning by degrees, with the growing sense that something significant was different. By the time she was ready to open her eyes, she wasn’t surprised to find herself in a room she hardly recognized.

Something significant was most definitely different. She and Luke had had sex last night. Three times. The impression of him lingered all over her body.

She and Luke Taylor.

Less than two weeks had passed since an interest in him—no, a desire for him—had first risen up in her from nowhere. She’d engaged in some deep reflection, trying to understand where it had come from, but hadn’t arrived at a satisfying answer.

She’d felt depressed and restless that night after the town council meeting, when he’d been sitting alone on the porch. Jameson Cabot had left earlier that day. Had her fraught encounters with Cabot spun her that hard? Why? He might have been the most determined wealthy man to make a pass at her, but he was hardly the only one.

Or had that clash at the council meeting cracked something open in her? Maybe, that had been one of the worst scenes she’d witnessed in this town she loved, but what did it have to do with Luke? It didn’t make sense.

Whatever the origin was, that night, she’d needed something, and Luke had offered it up to her in his quiet, straightforward way. He’d understood her—and, like a epiphany sent down directly from the heavens, she’d seen him differently. She’d seen him.

That lightning strike of attraction still boggled her mind. Not that he wasn’t good looking, but she’d never felt attracted before.

He was good looking. Very. But in a ‘wow, look at all those muscles’ way, which wasn’t normally the direction her interest turned. To the extent that she had a type, Luke was not it. Reese Webb was much closer: fit, but not showy. Normal size. She would have said Luke was too big, too brawny, too much beard, too glowery. Just … too.

Over the course of the past several days, however, Ellen had come to understand just how very attractive all that too was. When Luke held her, he completely encompassed her, and she was overcome with a potent mix of security and sensuality, of cozy warmth and wild heat. When he cupped her face in his massive, rough hands, she felt treasured. When he bent down and kissed her, she felt wanted.

He’d been right here all along.

He wasn’t right here just at the moment, however; Ellen was alone in his bed. Thinking of him, remembering what it was to be filled by him, filled to overflowing, to have his body on hers, too feel him between her legs, Ellen needed him to come back to bed.

She got up and looked on the floor for her clothes, but the bare wood floor was clean, no discarded garments anywhere. She found them on his dresser, folded neatly. Even her underwear was folded, bra and panties in tidy bundles. Luke was definitely a fan of tidiness and order.
