Chapter Twelve

Five days later, Bailey looked out the kitchen window and watched Nicholas walk toward the house with Emmett. Head tilted down, he listened intently to whatever her brother was saying. His shirt was off, his skin gleaming with sweat both from work and the midday heat. He was sliding easily into the everyday rhythm of their life—too easily.

Swearing under her breath, she turned her attention back to the tomatoes she was slicing for sandwiches. It was too hot to cook until evening and maybe not even then.

Counting down their footsteps in her head, she was prepared when the back door opened and the two of them stepped inside. His gaze unerringly found her. Their eyes met and the air seemed to snap around them.

“I’m grabbing a quick shower,” Emmett called as he exited the room.

“You should get cleaned up, too.” It wasn’t easy trying to act nonchalant, not with her husband standing there all hot and sweaty, a lock of his dark brown hair plastered to his forehead and a grin on his face. Beneath the earthy smells of the cows and hay and dirt lay his natural musky scent. It drew her like a moth to a flame.

He joined her at the counter and nuzzled her neck. She scrunched her shoulders up toward her head, ignoring the goose bumps racing down her arms and the tightening of her nipples.

She barely swallowed back a groan and rested the tip of the knife on the cutting board. Her hand was shaking too much to wield it safely.

“What can I do to help?” His husky voice murmured in her ear, hot breath fanning over her skin.

Strip naked and let her jump on him. That’s what she wanted to say. She cleared her throat. “I have it under control, but you could call the kids.” Anything to get him away from her before she melted into a puddle at his feet.

He trailed his forefinger down her arm before stepping away. “I can do that.”

She breathed a sigh of relief when he stepped away. Every inch of her skin was sensitized. After their fight and subsequent makeup sex at the river, she’d decided to take a step back and reassess things. It might be like closing the barn door after the cow had escaped, but she didn’t care.

She was already too close. She’d had five nights of lying in bed staring up at the ceiling, her body aching for his touch. If that was only after having sex twice, what would it be like a week from now, a month from now? Taking care of her needs in the shower hadn’t cooled her desires one little bit. If anything, it had left her even more restless.

He’d ruined her for any other man.

Once again, Nicholas had done the unexpected. He hadn’t pushed, hadn’t complained about bunking on the couch or tried to talk his way into her bedroom.

She wasn’t sure if she should be relieved or insulted.

No, the sneaky wolf was subtler than that. She was beginning to understand how he worked.
