Chapter 16

Diana hesitated in the door of the cabin, having second thoughts. “Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“We’re going to be more than okay.” Joe beamed, hoisting Beth up onto his shoulder. “We’re going to have the best time ever, aren’t we, sprat?”

Beth chortled, delighted by her new, lofty position. She’d always loved being up high. She grabbed hold of Joe’s curly blue-black hair, tugging with all her strength. Joe winced, but his grin didn’t waver in the slightest.

“Do not fear, Diana.” Seren was flicking through pages of paper covered in dense, neat handwriting. “Callum has left us instructions for any eventuality. Very, ah, thorough instructions.”

Diana gave the room one last check. Callum had transformed the space since she’d first arrived. From the soft, brightly-patterned rug on the floor to the cute pegasus mobile dangling over the brand-new cot, every inch was dedicated to Beth’s comfort. Diana had to concede that Beth had everything she could possibly need (and some, like the ridiculous nightlight, that she definitely didn’t).

Nonetheless, she hesitated. “Maybe this isn’t a good idea. I should cancel. I’m sure Callum will understand.”

“Callum needs to speak with you alone.” Seren shooed her out the door as though she was an indecisive cat. “Without distractions.”

“And Cal volunteering to talk is rarer than unicorns,” Joe put in from over Seren’s shoulder. “A lot rarer, actually. Seize the opportunity with both hands.” He winked. “I have a feeling that you won’t regret it.”

Seren handed Diana her coat. “He has a way of knowing these things, unlikely as it may sound. Trust him. Trust us both. And trust that Callum has a very good reason for this request.”

Diana was fairly sure she knew what that reason was. With her attacker safely in police custody and special agents pursuing Lupa, there was no longer any need for her to stay with the Thunder Mountain Hotshots. Callum must want to talk about what she would do now.

And she had no doubt what he wanted her to do.

He’d been even quieter than usual after their visit to the police station. But she didn’t need words to know that his feelings hadn’t changed. He shouted them with every glance, every door held open for her, every cup of coffee he brought her. He wanted to be more than co-parents.

Diana couldn’t deny that she wanted him too. She’d hoped that close proximity, the drudgery of daily life, would have made her immune to Callum’s blazing sex appeal. Unfortunately, the opposite seemed to have happened. Whenever she caught sight of him, she was dizzied with lust. Even when he was doing something as mundane as vacuuming. Maybe especially when he was doing something as mundane as vacuuming.

She thrust aside the terribly distracting memory of Callum leaning over a little, jeans taut across his ass, sleeves rolled up, gravely pushing the vacuum back and forth with the total, absolute attention that he gave to everything he did. Joe and Seren were right. She and Callum did need to talk.

“I won’t be far away,” Diana said.
