Chapter Fourteen

Why was the room so bright?

Liz pinched her eyes shut and rolled over to dig her face into the pillow. Obviously they'd forgotten to shut the curtains before they went to bed. Kicking the sheet off of her feet, Liz grudgingly admitted that maybe the sensible cotton pajamas were far too warm to sleep in. And she'd even slept by herself. Imagine if Kieran had actually been in the bed with her.

Then she had to yank the covers off her entirely, because that really ratcheted up her internal temperature. Carefully rolling over so she could peek over the side of the bed, Liz smiled when she saw Kieran sprawled out on his back, one arm underneath the bed completely and the other resting on his bare stomach.

Finally, she could study his tattoos. The roaring lion above his heart was all curved, beautiful lines, looking like it was about to leap off of his smooth skin. Underneath it was a verse from Proverbs, but the righteous are as bold as lions.

This man, he never failed to surprise her. Permanently inking Bible verses onto his skin, it definitely wasn't what she’d expected. And if there was one thing she should have realized in these last few weeks of getting to know him, it was that he defied categorization. Finally admitting that made something click into place around the general vicinity of her heart.

The design that wrapped around his arm looked like a bird. An eagle maybe? It was an all-black design, like all of his other tattoos. Without being able to lean down and turn his arm, it looked like a large bird swooping down from some mountains. She tilted her head, trying to see more, and just couldn't manage it.

Kieran jerked his head, and Liz pulled back onto the bed in case he opened his eyes. Though knowing him, he'd absolutely love that she was full-on gawking at him while he slept. When he settled and quieted, Liz leaned forward to watch him again.

He was a quiet sleeper, other than the few times that he rolled into the dresser next to him and had cursed under his breath. Only one of those times had she giggled at him and then he responded by chucking a pillow up at her.

It had been sweet, awkward but sweet, how he'd volunteered to sleep on the floor when she'd been so obviously uncomfortable the night before at the thought of them sharing a bed. Because apparently the thought of him turned her into a nun. A teenage nun.

Which was ridiculous, because it wasn't like she'd never done it. Two fumbling encounters with her boyfriend Nick freshman year of college were just enough to punch out her V-card, but really only put her one baby step above convent status.

Seeing the way she hemmed and hawed and kept folding her pajamas was quite enough for him to toss on extra blanket on the floor and wink at her that it wasn't a big deal. But it was to Liz, because he hadn't guilt-tripped her.
