“Now that’s a nice background,” Lacy said over my shoulder, and I bit back my smile. She practically skipped back to her desk. “I’m so proud of you.”

I rolled my eyes. “It’s just a picture,” I said.

She arched a brow at me.

“Okay, it’s a hot picture,” I relented, gazing at my new computer wallpaper. A simple shot of Connell and myself, his arm tucking me in tight. But it was the way he gazed down at me that made the picture practically catch fire. The hunger in his eyes, the wicked grin on his lips.

Sweet mercy, this man made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.

Like I was the only woman in the world.

Cold, familiar doubt crept past the flames gently whirring in my core, whispering icy facts into the back of my mind.

The real season will start soon.

Away games.

Women in every state want him.

How could any man withstand a constant stream of perfection?

I shook my head in an attempt to clear it and clicked on the documents I should be working on, effectively covering the happy picture on my screen.

Work.

Work was my number one passion before Connell plowed into my life on a four-wheeler with a Scottish accent and an irresistible laugh.

I buried myself in work, shoving all other thoughts away until the next thing I knew, Lacy was tapping my shoulder in way of goodbye and clocking out for the evening.

I finished up payroll for this week and then shut everything down, totally, mentally exhausted. After locking the building up, I strolled to my car, thoughts of a glass of wine and a good book dominating my mind, knowing Connell had been swamped with preseason skates. My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I fished it out after I’d settled into the driver’s seat.

Connell: Home yet?

I bit back my grin as I texted back.

Me: Just in the car now.

Connell: Good. Go to my place instead.

Me: I thought you would be out late with the boys?

Connell: Aye. Team morale. But I’d love it if I found you in my bed when I came home.

A thrill rushed through me.

Me: Even if I’m asleep?

Connell: Always. What do you say?

Me: I guess you’ll just have to wait and find out.

Connell: Tease.

I set my cell in the cup holder and took the road that led me to Reaper village.

An hour later, I’d slipped into my favorite silk pajama set and sank into Connell’s king-sized bed, drowning in the luxury of his soft sheets and thick blankets. Lucky for me, he kept my favorite wine on hand, and after half a glass, I was blissfully relaxed. Totally at home. Enough to fall into an easy sleep where doubts and fears didn’t exist.
