Chapter Ten

Natale searched the main floor of the house for Foley, and without luck she searched upstairs. Where did he go? She tapped on his bedroom door, a big mistake if Caulder caught her. When there was no answer, she opened it. “Foley?” He wasn’t there or in the bathroom. His belongings weren’t tossed around the floor like a bachelor might do. Other than clothes in his closet, there wasn’t much to see. In the bathroom, the typical guy stuff sat on the vanity. She picked up his aftershave and held the bottle to her nose. Mmm, it smelled like him, bringing a rush of heat over her body. She might be young but womanly instincts smoldered within, and one whiff brought them out again—instincts she wanted to explore.

What would become of them when this week was over when she wanted so much more with him? She sat the bottle down and left the bathroom but before leaving, spotted three pill bottles on the dresser and a pill case. A quick look toward the door, and she took a moment to listen outside the doorway. What would he do if he caught her looking?

She picked up one bottle then wrote the name of the drug into her phone, proceeding to the other two. Was it wrong to want to know what he had to deal with, including his prescribed drugs? Getting out of there before being caught was the best thing to do, but she’d tell him later that she’d been here. She reached for the knob but it turned and Foley walked in. Her breath caught as her hand shot to her chest.

“Natale?” Those gorgeous eyes lowered to meet her gaze.

“Um, I—”

“What are you doing in my room?” He did a quick perusal of the area and flicked back to her face.

“I’m sorry. I looked for you, and I thought maybe you were sleeping, so I entered. Don’t be mad at me. I didn’t know if you were all right.”

“Why wouldn’t I be?” He pointed toward the bed. “Since you’re here, sit down.”

Natale needed to blow out her held breath. It came out in a broken sigh. “No, I have to leave. We can’t get caught in here. Look how Caulder had reacted at seeing us on the sofa together.”

Foley went back to the door and locked it then came back to her.

She put her hands up to ward off his closeness. “We can’t do this.”

“Do what?” He held her shoulders, deliberately moving across the room. “What do you think I’m going to do? Attack you in Caulder’s home? Is that what you think of me?” He leaned in to kiss her but she backed away.

Who was this guy? “Stop. Now.” She made eye contact with him but it was as if he was dazed. “I’m leaving.”

“No you’re not. What were you doing in here?” His gaze went to the pill bottles on the dresser.

She drew away from him. “I said I was looking for you.”

“You found me…and my pill bottles it seems.
