CHAPTER 12

I’m dead. That’s the only explanation for this. I’ve died and I’ve met an angel...or maybe a devil. The sensations of the kiss and the tender way that Ridge was holding her had Everly gasping to keep up. No man had ever made her feel so cherished and wanted by doing so little.

She had been going crazy in her practice room, hitting all sorts of wrong notes and erasing huge sections of her new songs. Obviously, her baking break hadn’t helped as much as she had hoped. Being cooped up in the house was taking its toll and this afternoon, it had come to a head.

Putting her instrument away, Everly had been prepared to come out and approach Sawyer, begging for him to take her somewhere, anywhere, to get out of this place. Instead, all of her anger and frustration had disappeared when she’d thrown open her practice room door. She had known it was Ridge as soon as he’d stumbled forward and touched her.

The same fluttery sensations she had felt every time she was in his presence had burst to life immediately when he almost knocked her to the ground. However, it was the kiss that had happened afterward that had changed everything. When he began kissing her face, Everly had thought for sure that she was going to melt into a puddle right in the middle of her practice room.

Each touch of his lips had heightened the tension and she was practically salivating by the time he got to her lips. When he paused, Everly knew she wouldn’t be able to handle it if he didn’t follow through, so she had taken matters into her own hands, and it had been magical.

She squeaked when Ridge suddenly jumped away from her, leaving Everly gasping for breath and her footing.

“Wait a second...” His eyes were wild and his hair a mess from where her fingers had run through it. “Did you call me...Ridge?”

Oops. Everly ducked her head and grimaced. “Uh, yeah. Sorry. I didn’t mean to break your cover or anything.”

“So you didn’t think you were kissing Sawyer?”

Everly jerked upright and glared at him, fisting her hands on her hips. “Are you kidding me? Absolutely not. What kind of girl do you take me for? That I just go around kissing anyone willy nilly?”

“But you just kissed me.” Ridge’s brows were furrowed and true confusion was on his face.

“Because I wanted to.” Everly threw up her hands. “I’ve been wanting to kiss you for weeks, but you never came back.”

“What?” Ridge’s hands went into his hair and stayed there, the curls standing straight up between his fingers. “How the heck did you know it was me? How long have you known?”

Everly fought the smirk crossing her face, she really did, but it couldn’t be helped. Here she had several ex-military men guarding her, but she’d been able to figure out their secret without them knowing. It was just too ironic. “I figured it out on your second swap.”

Ridge’s jaw dropped.
