Piper couldn’t believe the words coming out of her mouth. The confession she’d had no intention of making. The power she had no desire to hand him.

But she couldn’t lie to him either. Although, that saying about the truth setting you free was a bunch of BS. She wasn’t free. She was even more tangled up than before.

They sat in silence. Piper half expected to see lightning crackling across the horizon, the energy arcing between them was that thick. She could smell it, like burnt ozone mixed with the unique, spicy scent of him.

Her body felt heavy. Her limbs too weighted to pick up and leave.

No doubt, he felt it, too. Every muscle in his body was drawn tight with the same tension pulsing through her. The weight of his gaze settled on her, making her chest feel tight enough to crush her lungs.

Finally, he shifted. Stood. She half hoped he was going to come to her. To push them both to one side or the other of the razor’s edge they’d been walking for days.

Piper held her breath. And let it out in a single gust when he backed away. “I’m going to go for a swim.”

“Good. Yeah. A swim.” God, she sounded dazed and completely out of it.

His mouth twisted into a half smile before he spun on his heel. Instead of heading for the ocean in front of them, he moved back toward the house and the pool.

Nope, she wasn’t disappointed that she was going to miss the show of him coming out of the water half-naked, sunlight catching droplets as they clung to the tight abs he’d developed in the last ten years.

Education wasn’t the only thing he’d picked up in prison.

Someone needed to knock her upside the head so maybe her own intelligence would resurface. Where was Lizzy when she needed a good lecture? Or Carina when she needed a glass of wine and girl time?

Flopping back in the chair, Piper screwed her eyes closed and whispered, “Get a grip,” mostly because she knew that’s what her friends would say if either of them were here.

Right. Rolling onto her belly, Piper reached behind her to pop the clasp on her bikini top and buried her face into the towel she’d rolled into a makeshift pillow.

A nap and some sunshine...that’s what she needed.
