Chapter Seventeen

“What happens on the bus…stays on the bus. I need to put that on a T-shirt and wear it,” Rachel muttered to herself.

After she’d woken up to Christian asleep next to her in bed the next morning—and had a mini heart attack, but then calmed down when her fuzzy brain remembered all that had happened—Rachel found the courage to tiptoe down the hallway, shake Adam awake on the couch and take him home. They left Trevor and Christian asleep on the bus and walked back to the Victorian house together, not saying a word. Adam’s arm went around her shoulder and she wrapped both of hers around his waist. Back in their room, they brushed their teeth, changed into pajamas, took two Naproxen each and dropped into bed.

“Come here, babe,” Adam rumbled as he pulled her close, curved around her back and kissed her neck.

Heaven.

And on that note, she’d fallen asleep.

Around noon, she and Adam woke up for good, showered and walked downstairs to have lunch together in the spacious farmhouse kitchen that was beginning to feel like home. It was easy being with Adam. He insisted she sit while he made her coffee just the way she liked—powdered creamer, no sugar. Then he made his own—creamer and two Splenda.

Afterwards, he pulled a PowerBar out of the walk-in pantry and waved it at her. “You want one?” he offered, brown eyes crinkling with mischief.

“No.” She grimaced. “You know I think those things are disgusting. The only way you’d catch me eating one is if I were about to die from starvation, and even then I’d probably commit cannibalism first.”

He took a large bite, pulled her out of her seat, wrapped an arm around her waist and leaned in close, chewing big and smacking his lips. “Ah, now that’s good stuff.”

“Gross,” she exclaimed and pressed hands against his naked chest, trying to get away.

“Sure you don’t want some? There’s lots more where this came from, darling.”

“No, but your arm’s looking pretty tasty right now. Give me that, I just need some salt…” She took hold of his wrist and pretended to take a bite out of his forearm.

He threw back his head and laughed, then leaned down and kissed her hard, his mouth overflowing with PowerBar.

“Stop it! You’re making me sick.” She giggled and elbowed him, slipping out of his reach. “Sit down. I’ll make us something to eat. Something we both like.”

His eyebrows shot up, but he did as she asked, walking around to sit on a stool at the counter. Shirtless. Wearing nothing but loose, flannel pajama pants, all bronze skin and sculpted muscles.

“Don’t worry. Even I can use the microwave.”

He gave her a skeptical look and took another bite of his PowerBar.

She put her hands on her hips. “I know how to use the microwave.”

He didn’t say a word, just stared at her with those twinkling brown eyes. She looked away first. “I’ll show you,” she threw over her shoulder, hoping she really could use the microwave and not burn their food like she’d done last time.
