CHAPTER SEVEN

SEAN RETURNED HOME closer to daylight than dark. When he’d headed for the hospital, he’d anticipated a quick visit but it had turned into emergency surgery that couldn’t wait. He’d had a second to think about Cynthia at his house. All he could do now was hope that she wasn’t mad. Not that it would make him feel any less a louse, but maybe she had called for a taxi or one of her brothers to come get her.

From the driveway he could see that the TV was still on. Cynthia would have turned it off if she wasn’t still here. He quietly let himself into the house, then thought better of it. What if he scared her? He had no need to worry. Cynthia was sound asleep in his chair.

She looked so small and so right in his large chair wrapped in his grandmother’s quilt. As if she belonged there. Quietly he put his keys and phone on the table. He wasn’t going to allow her to sleep in a chair any longer. He scooped her into his arms, blanket and all.

She blinked then murmured, “You’re home.”

He held her against his chest and kissed her temple before he headed to his bedroom. “I am.”

“Where’re we going?” she mumbled in a sweet, sleep-laden voice.

“My bed. Now, hush. Go back to sleep.” In his room he laid her on the bed, gently unrolled her from the blanket.

Was that his T-shirt she was wearing? He wouldn’t remove her pants, having already stepped over the propriety line by putting her in bed with him without asking her. Pulling the sheet over her, he then spread the quilt on top of that.

Cynthia wrapped her arms around his pillow with a sigh and brought it against her face.

Sean stood there watching her for a minute. How badly he wanted to properly wake her and show her how much he liked having her in his bed. Instead he found himself a clean pair of underwear and a pair of drawstring lounge pants before heading for the bathroom. There he took a cold shower despite having been looking forward to a hot one when he came home.

When he returned, Cynthia was curled up sound asleep in the middle of his bed. He slipped beneath the covers and rolled to his side, gathering her against his chest. Perfect. He would worry about her reaction to his forwardness in the morning. Seconds later he had joined her in sleep.

A wiggle of a warm body beside him woke Sean. There was a pink hazy color in the room. It wasn’t daylight yet.

His gaze met Cynthia’s.

She scooted away from him as if she had just registered where she was. He made no move to stop her. “What am I doing in bed? With you?”

“I put you here. My guests don’t sleep in a chair.” Maybe if he kept his actions matter of fact she wouldn’t get too upset.

She said quietly, “So you bring all your guests to bed after they go to sleep in your chair?”

His gaze didn’t leave hers.
