Chapter Five

CAROLINE

My body melts into his, and still I can’t believe he’s here. My heart flutters with excitement, but at the same time, tears roll down my cheeks. Colden pulls back, and I watch his eyebrows furrow.

“Sweetheart.” His voice rumbles across my skin, but he doesn’t loosen his hold on my hair or his tight embrace. How can someone's eyes be filled with both compassion and anger? “Don’t kiss me like you’re sad to see me.”

Slowly he begins to run his fingers through my hair, and I want to lean into his touch. I know I’ve missed him, but seeing him in the flesh makes it ten times worse. I was sure in my mind I made Colden out to be more handsome than he really was. Yet here he stands in all his handsome glory, taking my breath away.

“Why are you here?” He must have found out that I’m pregnant. How did he pull that off unless he got some sly information from his wife? Which is messed up on so many levels.

“Why am I here?” he repeats, and when I step back, he matches it until I’m pinned to the kitchen counter. “You left me without a trace.”

“It was a one-night stand,” I blurt out, and his nose flares. I can tell he’s trying to keep his anger in check, but it’s so close to the surface. Why does that turn me on? Stop it, Caroline. He’s a married man! He’s not mine and I shouldn't want him.

“You and I both know that was not a one-night stand. You got my note. It was gone, so I know you saw it.”

“I did,” I admit. “And I was going to call you.”

“You were going to call me?” he repeats, but there is an accusatory tone in his voice.

“What are you, a parrot? Why are you repeating what I say?” I huff. I’m the one that gets to be angry here. “You can’t barge into my home. In fact, I think you should leave.” I point toward the door. “I’ll call the sheriff.” Tinsel can’t be far; she only left a few minutes ago.

“What’s she gonna do? Shoot me with a nerf gun? Does this town even have jail cells?”

“I think?” It might be a break room with vending machines, but Colden doesn’t need to know that.

He places his hands on either side of the counter, caging me in. “What am I going to do with you, Caroline?”

What the hell does that mean? I lift my hand to smack him, but he easily catches me by the wrist.

“You’ll hurt your hand,” he says right before he has the audacity to kiss the center of my palm.

Instead of smacking him, I do the next best thing I can think of. I try to knee him in the balls, but once again he’s too quick. Of course he is. You have to be one smooth operator to be hooking up with some random woman the night before your wedding then plan to hook up with her again after it’s over.
