Chapter 13

Sierra

Waking up that next morning with Caleb was just as nice as it had been the first time. And I knew it would always be that wonderful. I loved opening my eyes to see his solid, strong body next to mine, his powerful chest rising and falling with each slow breath.

The thought struck me—the idea of what it’d be like to wake up to him being there not just that morning, but every morning. It seemed so crazy to consider, but at the same time it sounded…perfect.

I’d only dated a few men before, and none of them for very long. And each one, though I did care for them, never made me feel the way Caleb did. There was no instant connection like the one I felt with him, no burning desire to have his body against mine, to feel his touch, his kiss.

And more than that, just being there with him was enough to somehow put my mind at ease, to make me feel like there was nothing in the world to worry about.

So strange, yet so wonderful at the same time.

He finally opened his eyes, his greens brilliant in the morning light.

“Good morning,” he said, his voice sexy and sleepy.

“Good morning.” I leaned in and kissed him.

The kiss lingered. Arousal moved through my body, and I was ready for a repeat of our last night’s fun.

But before it could go on for any longer, a harsh buzzing cut through the air.

“Shit,” said Caleb, taking his lips from mine. “My phone. One sec.”

He went down the bed and grabbed his pants, fishing his phone out of his pocket.

“Hello… Yeah, hey… Are you serious? Ah, hell. Okay, meet me at my place in an hour.”

Disappointment washed over me at his words, knowing that he would be leaving me soon. But I wasn’t about to throw a fit about it—I was sure whatever was going on was important.

“What’s wrong?” I asked. “I mean, sorry to be nosy. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”

He sat on the edge of the bed for a moment, as if trying to process something.

“It’s nothing. My brother’s in town and the place he was staying at…isn’t an option anymore. I told him he could crash at my pad for a little while.”

“Oh, that’s nice of you.”

He chuckled. “Thing about my brother is when he gets into a jam, you don’t really have any option but to drop everything and help him. I love the guy to death, but he’s not the best at planning things out long-term.”

His words struck me as strange. Wasn’t his brother some kind of businessman? He’d said he wasn’t the most successful one, but even a businessman doing kind of all right shouldn’t be dealing with things like not being able to find someplace to stay. It was odd. But I put it out of my head—again, it wasn’t my business.

“So,” he said, standing up. “As much as I’d like to spend the morning with you, I need to get moving pretty soon.
