Chapter Eight

Ryder closed the bedroom door and then made a pot of coffee using the light on the vent hood in order to see in the small kitchen. Knowing that Faith was sleeping in the next room played havoc with his pulse but was so much better than before when she’d left without a note. She still had that effect on him, the one that had him wanting to touch her soft skin and get lost in her fresh-after-a-spring-rain flowers-and-sunshine scent.

How many times had they slept twisted in the sheets with their bodies fused together in that very room? Exhaustion from making love sometimes two or three times in a row having zapped their energy and forced them to finally give in to sleep.

The memories were burned into his brain not just because the sex was mind-blowing—it was. Sex couldn’t be this good with anyone else because he felt a connection to Faith that he’d never experienced with another woman. Sex was sex. The physical act was always good. No woman before Faith had ever fit his body the way she had. He’d never felt as content afterward with anyone else, either. And that had a lot to do with what happened in between rounds. Faith was easy to talk to. She was smart and had a quirky sense of humor. It didn’t hurt that she was beautiful. She was just as attractive when she was fresh from the shower and her hair was pulled back in a loose ponytail, maybe even more so, than when she was all done up.

Thinking about their past and the times they’d spent together under this very roof stirred areas that didn’t need to be awake at this hour and especially without the prospect of release. His body was keenly aware of her being in the next room.

Ryder took a sip of black coffee, hoping it would clear his thoughts and steer him away from the dangerous territory he was dipping into. It was the past, and best left far behind. They had a new reality to deal with. Five days of Nicholas missing.

The door to the bedroom opened and Faith stood there, wearing only one of his old T-shirts like she’d done countless times. His heart stirred at the same time blood flew south, awakening areas he’d have to work to ignore.

“I hope it’s okay that I came back here,” she said. Her voice had that low sleepy quality that was enough to tip him over the edge and make him want things he shouldn’t. Another thing he couldn’t afford to notice right now, since his better judgment had hit the trail, was how sexy her hair was when it was tousled and loose around her shoulders. Or how long and silky her legs were.

“I’m glad you did.” Ryder took another sip of hot coffee, focusing on the warm burn on his throat. Holding his mug kept his fingers busy. And that was good because they wanted to do things that would get him into more trouble, like tangle in her hair and haul her body against his.
