Chapter Twelve

Seth’s schedule was so off it was nearly two in the morning before he was down for the night. Ty was asleep in the other bed in the cabin, having fixed up all the broken-in areas from earlier. Grady was asleep on the couch, snoring faintly.

Addie slipped into Noah’s room and carefully laid Seth in his crib, watching him intently.

She would sacrifice anything for this boy. Including herself. It hadn’t been an option before, but now she had people she could trust. People she could entrust.

Noah would protect him. The Carsons and Delaneys would give him love. Stability. Family.

She turned to Noah, asleep on the bed.

Knowing what she was going to do tomorrow she had to accept this might be the last time she spoke with him. She wouldn’t allow herself to consider she might not survive, but she had to consider the fact that Noah might be so angry at her he’d never speak with her again.

She had to do what she had to do. For Seth, and for the only opportunity for a future that didn’t involve running, losing or fighting for her life.

She slid onto the empty side of the bed, her heart beating a little too fast no matter that she was sure. Sure what she was going to do tonight, and sure what she was going to do tomorrow.

Noah stirred next to her and instead of staying on her own side, she scooted closer to him. The warmth of him, the strength of him. It was such an amazing thing that time and luck had brought her this man who wanted to protect her.

“Morning?” he murmured sleepily.

“No. Middle of the night.” She should let him sleep. She should insist he rest. But she only had this one moment. She couldn’t waste it. She pressed her mouth to his bearded cheek. “Would you do something for me?”

“In the middle of the night?”

“Well, it’s a naked kind of something. Night seems appropriate.”

She felt his whole body go rigid, and she was almost certain she could feel his gaze on her in the darkened room.

“Am I dreaming?” he asked suspiciously.

She allowed herself a quiet laugh and slid her hand under the covers and it drifted down his chest, his abdomen and then to the hard length of him. “Feels pretty real to me.”

“That’s a terrible line,” he muttered, but he didn’t shift away. Which might have been because of the injury on his opposite side, except he didn’t shrink from her intimate touch. If anything he pushed into it.

“Noah, I want to be with you.” She kissed his cheek, his jaw. “I’ve been pretending I don’t, but it seems so silly to pretend with all of these horrible things going on. I don’t want to pretend anymore, but if you don’t want me—”

His mouth was on hers, fierce and powerful, before she could even finish the sentence. He carefully rolled onto his good side and his arms wound around her, drawing her tight against his body, trapping her own hand between them.
