“What the hell?” Tyler exclaimed, eyes growing wide when he opened the door. “What the hell happened to you?”

“I gg...got caught in a dd...downpour. The snow turned to ff...freezing rain. I didn’t have an umbrella.” My teeth clattered together, my wet clothes dripping all over the Sutton Place hallway.

“Get in here.” He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me inside his apartment. “You’re shaking like a leaf.” He gestured toward the bathroom. “Get those wet things off and take a hot shower. I was just putting together some of the clothes you left behind to return to you. Good thing, huh?”

I nodded, icy rivulets cascading from my saturated hair to my starting-to-go-numb skin.

“You sure you don’t need any help getting undressed?” Tyler frowned as I stumbled on the way to the bathroom.

“Nice tt...try, bb…but I think I cc…can manage.” I shut the double doors on the handsome hockey heartthrob’s face but caught the smirk as I did.

I stripped, tossing my sodden clothing in the sink. The hot water stung everywhere it hit my frigid skin. After being under the spray for a couple of moments, I started to thaw, but I didn’t stop shaking until I had been in the shower for several minutes. Eyes closed, face tipped up into the warmth, I was finger combing conditioner through my hair when a shadow fell over me. Swiping water from my eyes, I saw that Tyler had entered the bathroom. He leaned a hip against the vanity, his gaze slowly sliding over me.

“Ty,” I began turning my body to shield it from his view. “You shouldn’t be in here.”

“Just bringing your clothes in.” He folded his arms together, pointing with his head at the pile of folded things on the counter beside him.

“Thanks, but…”

“You sure you want us to be over, Belle?”

Shit. “Tyler, this really isn’t an appropriate place to discuss it.”

“It’s as good a place as any. Hard for you to bullshit me when you’re standing there in the buff, right?” he intoned snidely.

My eyes narrowing, I flipped off the water and started to reach for the towel I had draped over the glass of the shower, but Tyler moved closer and snapped it away. He grinned holding it in his hand just out of my reach.

I frowned.

“Did you ever even give us a chance?” he asked, his posture nonchalant. He spoke in an offhandedly casual tone, but something in his gaze made me sure that my answer mattered to him. Perhaps a great deal. Maybe there had been more to us than I had supposed.

“I thought you understood that we were just for fun. I thought I was pretty upfront with you, but...”

“You were. I knew you weren’t over one of those bastards in Tempest, but I didn’t think it was the serious one. Has it been him all along?”

I nodded, my brow creasing speculatively as I eyed that towel he had folded and placed on the counter and the hockey stick he had leaning against his side.
