Chapter 16

Noah knocked on Summer’s door. He’d given her a couple of days—given them both a couple of days—and now he needed to see her. He hadn’t stopped thinking about her—her touch, her taste; fuck, the taste of her—since he’d left her apartment. Patience wasn’t a virtue he was overly familiar with, and what he did have had just about run out.

He’d spent hours over the last few days drumming in his personal soundproofed music room, not stopping until sweat had dripped from his body, needing the rhythm to soothe his rattled emotions, to calm the desire to go back right that second and take what was his—take back what she’d given to Deacon.

He wasn’t sure what was going to happen between them. Didn’t know what their next step should be. All he knew was he’d had a taste of her again and going without now was impossible. He still had questions. Hell, so many questions. He still didn’t know how she could have traded him in so quickly. He couldn’t have been imagining how she’d felt about him back then. She’d loved him, just as deeply as he’d loved her. He believed that. So how could she have moved on with Deacon so quickly? How could she have married him?

The familiar pain filled him. Even though he’d come to terms with what had happened, understood what had made her break it off, the hurt lingered. Forgiving and forgetting were two very different things. He wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to wipe the memory of seeing her wrapped in Deacon’s arms from his mind. But he wanted to fucking try.

The sound of her footsteps approaching the door distracted Noah from his thoughts. After a second where she probably checked who it was through the peephole, she unlatched it and opened it for him.

What the hell? He could see the tension in her immediately, her eyes a turbulent swirl of emotions he couldn’t begin to catalog. What had happened between when he’d left her the other night and now? He didn’t know, but obviously she was hurting, and regardless of how confused his own emotions were, that was unacceptable. He reached out for her, gathered her in his arms, and pulled her against him.

“Summer, what’s the matter?” He smoothed his hand up and down her back, even as he dropped his head to her hair and breathed in. His dick twitched in his jeans, clearly not understanding that this wasn’t the first step toward getting to fuck her again.

“I’m okay, Noah. It’s just been a rough day.” She hesitated, then tentatively wrapped her arms around him, and the sensation of having her hug him was at once so familiar and so foreign, he almost didn’t know what to do with himself.

“What happened?” he asked gently.

She sighed, her breath warming his skin through the thin cotton of his t-shirt.

“I flew back to Chicago this morning.”

Noah pulled back, using his hand to tilt her face up. “You went and saw Deacon?”

She nodded, and he could see an entire world of emotions in her eyes.
