Chapter 9

Kinsley had her fair share of crying patients, but never had she let one fall asleep in her arms, on her sofa. Guilt tugged at her heart as she thought about how much she wanted to share a bed with Dylan. She shouldn’t be thinking about sex. Her only thoughts should be on how to help Dylan continue letting his emotions out, coping with the losses in his life, and giving him the tools so he can go back to what he does best.

She let out a long sigh.

Exactly what he did for Delta Force was a mystery to her, but she knew it included activities that could potentially kill him.

Not to mention take him to faraway places on a regular basis.

She rested her hand on his chest. It rose and fell with each restful breath. Slipping from the sofa, she covered him with an afghan and headed toward her bedroom with a quick pit stop in the bathroom.

Before climbing into bed, she checked the time.

Three in the morning. Her alarm would be going off in a few hours. She had three clients, one meeting, and a ton of paperwork, but it was Friday, and that meant she’d have the weekend to catch up.

She groaned, shifting in bed, pulling the covers up to her chin. How could she have forgotten her mother was still in town, crying over her latest failed marriage? Kinsley’s weekend would be filled with trying to talk her mother off the cliff AND keeping her from sitting at the bar, trying to attract eligible bachelors.

If she hadn’t found one already.

Reaching toward the nightstand to shut off the lamp, she gasped, staring at Dylan standing in her doorway. The moon filtering in through her window glowed over his tall, broad body. His strong silhouette covered the space like a sexy cowboy strutting in from a long day wrangling horses. Not that she knew anything about cowboys or horses, but damn, Dylan had some serious sex appeal.

Even injured.

“You scared me,” she whispered. “Did you have a bad—”

“No dreams. First time I woke up slightly peaceful since I was tortured.”

She fluffed the pillow and lifted herself to a sitting position. For only a second, she questioned her decision to pull the covers back on the other side of the bed.

He inched closer. His lips curled into a soft smile.

“I want to make a few things clear,” she said, needing to protect her heart and his as well. They each had their own issues regarding commitment, something neither one of them had ever really discussed, but she understood his and suspected he’d accept hers. “Your cognitive processing is getting better. I’m no neurologist, but over the course of this week, I’ve seen little to no signs of any problems. I believe you’re going back to Delta Force the second you get the thumbs up.”

He pulled his shirt over his head, tossing it on the floor in front of her closet. “I’ll find out tomorrow if the doc thinks my brain is functioning properly.
