Breathe.

Thanks to the man standing on the other side of the door, it was getting easier to do. I gave myself one last glance in the mirror, still looking for some kind of miracle.

The bruises had faded quite a bit and what remained could be concealed with some light makeup, but it was still there, reminding me of the past I was trying every day to overcome. Ryker had taken me to the doctor for my follow-up visit yesterday, and after an X-ray, my cast was removed, I was put in this boot, and scheduled in for my first physical therapy session on Monday.

Thankfully, I still hadn’t spoken to Trent. Due to his lawyer’s advice, he pled guilty to the charges against him. However, because he had no criminal record, he was let off easy. A slap on the wrist if you asked me. Along with some community service, he was also forced to take anger management classes. A full protection order had been put in place, and his lawyer assured me, he would not contact me or contest the divorce in any way.

I had a hard time believing he would let me go so easily, considering his previous threats, but he hadn’t contacted me. I hoped it remained that way so I could move on without ever having to see him again.

My tummy did a backflip, kick-starting my heart as I spun around to open the door.

Breathe.

One month might not seem like a long time, but spending the majority of it with Ryker felt more like years had passed. He’d been incredibly patient, demonstrating the control of a saint, but I could see it each time he looked at me. The same need that grew inside of me, lived inside of him, and we were both hanging on by a thread.

Finally, I gathered enough courage to open the door, where I was met with a set of sharp blue eyes, his fisted hand hanging midair.

“I was just coming to check on you,” he said, lowering his hand and taking a step forward. “Jesus, you look beautiful.”

“Thank you.”

Reese had helped me dye my hair back to my original color, and by the look on Ryker’s face, I’d say I made a good choice.

His hand moved to the back of my neck, threading through the dark locks before his mouth covered mine in a breath-robbing kiss.

It was difficult to stay upright when he kissed me like this.

Goose bumps raced across my skin as his gaze settled with mine, promising so much with just a simple look.

“Ready?” I asked, my voice cracking under his intense stare.

He grazed a thumb across my cheek, concern embedded on his face. “Sure you’re up for this?” Brows drawn together, he dipped his head closer, bringing his woodsy scent with him.

“I’m sure.”

He leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to my forehead. “Let’s go.”

When I moved to take a step, a wave of nausea slammed into me, my mouth pooling with saliva.

“Whoa, you okay?” Ryker asked, reaching out to steady me.
