An hour later, Sadie was still chuckling at the shocked and disgusted expression on Chase’s face. He hadn’t appreciated her doubling over in laughter but oh, she had appreciated the release. His comment about her brother and the murder weapon—her gun—reared its ugly, scary head. She pushed the thought aside. She honestly couldn’t deal with it tonight.

She went to close the door to the nursery as the bathroom door opened. Chase walked out of the steam-filled room, and her mouth dropped open. He was bare chested, his navy sweatpants riding low on his hips, his feet bare. Maybe it would be better if she dealt with the gun tonight after all. Dealing with Chase looking like this was just as terrifying.

She knew she had feelings for him when he was Michael, but she’d easily dismissed them when she’d learned the truth—okay, not so easily. But the kiss they shared today had made it obvious she had feelings for him, for Chase. And her fear when he stood facing down the Jackson County deputies with nothing more than his big brain showed her just how deep her feelings for him truly were. She was falling in love with him.

Worse, he was beginning to regain his status as her knight in shining armor. She didn’t need or want a man to fight her battles; she wanted a man who would be her partner. A man who shared in the care of her daughter when she needed to catch up on some sleep, a man who surprised her by unpacking her moving boxes when she was feeling overwhelmed. A man who looked like he’d walked out of a dream, she thought, as her gaze met his.

His hand stalled in the middle of drying his hair with a towel. He looked around. “Is everything okay?”

“Everything’s good.” She cleared the breathless quality from her voice. “Michaela went out like a light. I think we might be in for a quiet night.”

“Yeah?” He nudged her out of the way to peek into the room. Cast in the glow from the nightlight, her daughter looked adorable in a pink sleeper with her thumb in her mouth. Finn was stretched out on the unicorn area rug beside the crib, his golden head resting on one of the soft dolls he’d stolen.

“Good boy,” Chase whispered to Finn, who’d raised his head to eye them. Chase gave Sadie a smile that made her ovaries twitch. “He won’t let anyone near her.”

Without thinking, she pressed a palm against his hard and muscular chest to move him out of the doorway. His pec flexed beneath her hand, and she slowly lowered it from his chest before she did something stupid like trace his defined muscles with the tips of her fingers.

“We’ll wake her up if we’re not careful,” Sadie said, pulling the door closed, leaving it open an inch in case Finn wanted out. “Your dinner is in the oven.”

“Are you going to bed?”

She couldn’t tell if he hoped she was or hoped she wasn’t.
