Later that night, Bridget awakened, finding herself curled around Ryder. She was clinging to him. Her body said she wanted all of him, as much as he could give, as much as she could receive. But it wasn’t just her body that craved him; some part deep inside her felt as if she belonged exactly where she was.

Her breath abandoned her. How was she supposed to manage this, this physical, yet highly emotional relationship with a man like Ryder? It wasn’t even a man like Ryder. It was Ryder himself.

Ryder slid his thigh between hers, sending her sensual awareness of him into high mode. “You’re awake,” he said, sliding his arms around her. “You weren’t planning on going anywhere, were you?”

“No. Just thinking.”

“I’ll put a stop to that,” he said and distracted her again with his lovemaking. Afterward, she fell asleep.

The sound of a baby crying awakened her minutes later…. Had it really been hours? she wondered as she glanced at the alarm clock. Looking beside her, she saw that Ryder had already left the bed. The second baby started crying and she rose from the bed and pulled on one of Ryder’s shirts. Thank goodness it covered her nearly to her knees because she’d left her own clothes downstairs.

She met Ryder in the hallway as he carried a baby in each arm. “Sorry our good-morning song woke you,” he said with a wry, sleepy grin. His hair was sleep-mussed and a whisker shadow darkened his chin. Shirtless, he wore a pair of pajama pants that dipped below his belly button. She couldn’t remember when he’d looked more sexy.

Reining in her thoughts, she extended her hands to take one of the twins. “I can help.”

Tyler immediately fell toward her and she caught him in her arms.

“He made that decision pretty quickly. Can’t fault his judgment,” he said with a chuckle. “I already changed their diapers.”

“Really?” she said, astonished.

“Don’t look so surprised,” he said as he led the way down the stairs. “My baby-care skills are improving.”

“Congratulations,” she said and put Tyler into one of the high chairs while Ryder slid Travis into the other high chair. She immediately put a few Cheerios on the trays while she prepared the bottles.

Ryder prepared the oatmeal. “You’re getting faster at this baby stuff, too.”

“I watched Suzanne one morning and took notes. She’s so efficient.”

“I’ll be glad when she can come back,” he said.

“Oh, speaking of that,” she said. “The part-time sitter should be here any—”

A knock sounded at the door and Bridget felt a sliver of panic as she glanced at her bare legs and thought of her clothing strewn across the den. “Oh, bloody—Stefan will have my head. I’ll be back in a couple moments,” she said and grabbed her clothes and scrambled upstairs to get dressed. She glanced in the mirror and tried to tame her hair before she returned to the stairs.

Ryder met her halfway with an inscrutable expression in his eyes. “Embarrassed to be caught with an American doctor?”

“Not embarrassed so much as I wouldn’t want my brother Stefan to find out.
