Chapter Six

Gwen’s heart was racing as she waited for Luke’s answer. It might have also been racing because Luke, standing in her apartment in only jeans, scruffy hair, and extra stubble was a little too much to handle. Also the fact that he’d slept in her bed last night and she’d clung to him for dear life.

It registered that he was looking at her strangely. Had he spoken?

“Well?”

“Well…what?”

“I said, Haley is my sister.”

“Oh.” Relief plummeted through her. Then she remembered that he’d sounded concerned for her. “Is she okay?”

He walked across the room to the kitchen, placing his phone down on the counter, and took the coffee canister out of the cupboard. He looked completely at home in her kitchen as he started a pot. “I don’t know. I think she will be okay once she leaves her husband.”

She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him. He looked so worried for her. A second later his strong arms wrapped around her. “She’ll be fine. Is she coming here?”

He cleared his throat and nodded against her head. “Yeah. She’s tough, even though she shouldn’t have to be anymore.”

When he didn’t elaborate and neither of them spoke, she became very aware of their bodies. And the fact that his chest was naked and very, very delicious. She was also aware of how hard he felt. Everywhere.

“Gwen?”

“Yes,” she squeaked.

“You’re going to move away from me and get dressed.”

She turned her head so that it rested on his chest now. He smelled so good. “I’m all recovered now.”

The pounding on the door caused them both to jump apart. They both looked at each other. Neither were in any condition to answer the door.

“Gwen! It’s your mother and father! Open this door.”

“Well, that’s one way to kill the mood!” she said, running to her bedroom to grab her sweater. He followed her, pulling his own shirt on. What a shame, she thought as she looked at him all covered up.

“I swear to God, you’ve got the most expressive eyes on the planet,” he grumbled.

“This is all your fault,” she said as she ran out of the room. “Your ‘don’t fool around with the flu patient rules’ have ruined everything!”

“Gwen!”

Gwen whipped open the front door and her parents barrelled through. “I cannot believe you had the flu and didn’t call us! We would have come home early from our trip!”

“Seriously? That’s exactly why I didn’t call you! As if I’d want you to cut your vacation short to come home and take care of me,” she said. “Don’t hug me,” she said as they attempted to get close. “I don’t want you to catch it.”

Her father was looking around her kitchen, clearly putting his life on the line in search of food.

“Dad, there’s no pie. I was sick, remember?”

His face fell. “Right. Of course, sweetheart.”

She watched as their eyes widened. Luke. “Oh, and see I wasn’t alone. Luke took great care of me. Mom and Dad, this is Luke Thomson. Luke, these are my parents, Cassy and Edward.
