CHAPTER 15

~ SARAH ~

“I brought dinner,” Eric calls from the living room. Startled, I drop the glass I’m loading into the dishwasher.

“How did you get in?” I ask as he drops two bags filled with Chinese food containers onto the kitchen counter.

“I have a key.” He winks at me.

Sneaky bastard.

“I want my key back,” I demand and hold my hand out. Give an inch and Eric will take a mile. He’s making it so I can’t turn him away.

Eric takes my hand and holds it, smiling down at me. “I’m serious.” I try to pull my hand from his, but he doesn’t let go. His other hand rests on my hip and pulls me into his chest.

I spent most of the day trying to figure out how I was going to handle Eric and his pushy, demanding, swoon-worthy ways, but all my plans disappear.

“How was your day?” he whispers down at me.

“G-good,” I stutter, my breath catching in my throat as we both stare at each other. His nearness makes my whole body flush and my stomach flutters with movement. I lick my lips and stare at his mouth. He has such a great mouth, but the slight swelling catches my attention. “Wait. What happened to your face?”

“This?” Eric releases my hand and rubs his jaw. “It’s nothing.”

“Did you and McKnight get into a fight?” I step back, covering my mouth. “Please tell me you didn’t get in a fight.”

“Ehh.” He shrugs, turning to pull the Chinese food containers from the bag. “Hungry?”

“Don’t you dare shrug your shoulders at me.” I smack his shoulder. “What happened?”

“We shared some words, he hit me, and then we went over the case,” Eric shares as if it was no big deal before he hands me a container of sushi.

“He hit you?” I take the container, then hand it back. “Wait. I can’t eat this.”

He doesn’t take the container and tilts his head. “Why?”

I push the container into his hands. “Because it’s sushi.”

He eyes me with a look of confusion as he pushes the container back into my hands. “Yes, that’s why I got it. You love sushi.”

“I can’t eat raw fish while I’m pregnant.” I put the container on the counter and take the chicken lo mien from him and sit down. “Why’d he hit you?”

“What else can you not eat?”

“Don’t change the subject. Tell me what happened.” I pull a knee up in my chair and dig into the food.

“He wasn’t happy when I told him you weren’t available.” Eric brings over his beef and broccoli to the table. “Water?”

“In the fridge.” I point to the fridge, though I feel a little unsettled. “Did you hit him back?”

He gets up and moves toward the fridge. “No.” He chuckles. “I was in a police station surrounded by officers, all of which are his minions and just looking for a reason to arrest me . . . but I did hurt his hand.”

I take a bite of my food while Eric hip-bumps the fridge door to close it.
