Sunny’s adaptability evidently had its limits. Jax woke in the middle of the night to hear Hetty softly crooning the song about looking glasses and mockingbirds. Pulling on his slacks, he moved silently to the door and opened it, wishing he’d taken the time to go across town to his own place to pack a bag. He hadn’t, only because it would have been unfair to Hetty, as she hadn’t had time yet to shop.

He made a mental note to call Lina, his secretary, first thing in the morning and have her take Hetty shopping. The thought of outfitting her from the skin out triggered images he could do without. Even so, for a long time he stood and watched from the shadows of the doorway.

She was still wearing the bulky terry cloth robe. She couldn’t have slept in the thing, it would hog-tie her the first time she rolled over.

Unbidden, his imagination took over once more, screening pictures of a nude Hetty sliding between silken sheets. He happened to know she slept on her side. She didn’t snore, but when she was deeply asleep she made soft, puffy little noises with her lips.

He swore softly and backed away. If just seeing her like this got to him until he was so hard he hurt, he’d damned well better start looking for a house and a staff before he did anything else.

If he was going to get involved—big if—he would have to be sure it was for his own sake, not his daughter’s. Not that he was even considering marriage, but if he did—another big if—it damn well wouldn’t be any marriage of convenience.

“‘Hush, little baby, don’t you cry, Mama’s gonna rock you bye and bye.”’

Rocking chair. Yeah, he’d see about getting one of those, too, he told himself as the whispery sound of Hetty’s voice followed him into the bedroom.

Hours later, his head aching, his eyes burning, Jax stared up at the ceiling and tried to pinpoint the precise time his well-ordered life had begun to spin out of control.
