Chapter 14

Tate

The first time we slept together could’ve easily been written off as a mistake—a little slipup to move past.

The second time…that was something else. That night, as we held one another, our hearts beating in time, it was clear there was something else going on, something more serious than we’d bargained for.

We went back inside the house, holding hands as we made our way to the bedrooms. But when it came time to let one another go, to say goodnight, we couldn’t do it.

So we didn’t. The two of us went to the master bedroom and slept there together, Abbie’s body curled against mine.

It was the first night in a long, long time that I’d actually known some kind of serenity. The two of us drifted off to sleep, waking in the early hours of the morning. As soon as our eyes were open, we were all over one another again, making love.

And we took our time with it. It was still early, and there was no rush. After, we held each other, spent, until the pitter-patter of Connor’s feet in the hallway outside let us know there was a world waiting for us.

“Shit,” said Abbie. “What do we do?”

I glanced away, still resting my head on the pillow. “It’s too soon to tell him anything.”

She nodded. “Hell, I still don’t know what’s going on between us.”

“Me either. And it’s not a good idea to confuse him, right?”

“Right,” I said. “Why don’t you head down and get him started with breakfast, and I’ll join you both in a few minutes.”

“Sounds good.”

Abbie slid out from under the covers, and the moment she was up, my eyes locked onto her naked body, taking in the sight of her hips and breasts and flat stomach. She was gorgeous, so beautiful it hurt.

But I reminded myself I couldn’t get carried away with my attraction to her. I needed to focus, to make sure the big issue, the one that had brought us to this cabin, was looked after.

All of our safety was on my shoulders, after all.

Abbie put on some sleeping pants and a T-shirt, covering up her perfect figure in baggy clothes. I was thankful for it—it gave me a moment to get my head right.

“Okay,” she said, tying her hair into a ponytail. “Mum’s the word for now, right?”

“Exactly.”

“See you down there.”

She flashed me one more incredible smile before leaving, shutting the door softly behind her.

Once I was alone, I laid on my back, folding my hands behind my head and looking up at the ceiling, trying to figure out what the hell I was doing, what I was getting myself into.

As long as we were in that cabin together, the two of us wouldn’t be able to keep our hands off each other. Last night had proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

But I was worried, worried that I’d get in too deep, and find myself in a position I couldn’t get out of.

And what if Marshall were to
