Chapter 16

When Sierra woke up on Saturday morning, she was smiling. It was one of the Saturdays she wasn’t working, thank God.

Yesterday certainly hadn’t gone as expected. She was still a little pissed—only natural when your relationship of over a year went down the toilet, even if you’d been thinking of ending it anyway—but last night, surprisingly, had been one of the best nights of her life.

She’d barely let herself fantasize about sex with Jake Tong, and the real thing had been mind-blowing. Not that sex had been bad with Colton; she’d enjoyed herself. But with Jake...that was in a different league. She shivered as she remembered the hungry way he’d looked at her.

She opened her eyes, expecting to see him beside her, but there was no one else in bed. Had she imagined yesterday? Had it been a particularly vivid dream?

She was definitely in Jake’s room, though, with Big Freddy in the corner.

When I see it, I think of you, and I smile.

The memory of those words made her feel all gooey inside.

But where on earth was Jake?

Since none of her clothes were in the bedroom, she peeked in his closet and pulled out the first dress shirt she found. A light blue one. She pulled it on—it landed just past her ass—and buttoned it only partially before descending the stairs.

He wasn’t on the second floor.

Or the first floor.

She recalled the morning she’d woken up in Colton’s bed, only to be told he was already gone on a business trip. Had Jake simply left?

Then she heard an odd sound coming from the basement.

Jake was releasing his frustration by using his power tools.

He’d considered a run, but he didn’t want Sierra to wake up in an empty house. He assumed she’d be able to find him down here. She wouldn’t be able to hear the noise from his bedroom, but when she came downstairs to fetch her clothes, she’d hear.

And then, if she wanted to leave without a word, she could.

Or if not...

Clearly, she’d chosen the latter option. She’d just stepped into the basement, not wearing her own clothes but one of his shirts.

Christ.

He turned off the circular saw before he injured himself.

Jake hadn’t been unhappy to wake up with Sierra in his bed, but then the circumstances of last night had come back to him.

“Good morning,” she said.

“Morning,” he responded gruffly, trying not to look at the peaks of her nipples, which were pushing against the blue fabric.

She walked to the corner and peered at a small table. “This is nice. You made it?”

“Yes.”

“From lawyer to carpenter?”

“It’s not exactly a full-time job.”

She waltzed toward him; he gripped his workbench.

“You like my outfit?” She reached out and poked his chest. “I think you do.”

“Stop it,” he growled.

She stepped back. “What’s wrong? We had a good night together, didn’t we? I was disappointed you weren’t in bed this morning, to be honest.”

“Last night shouldn’t have happened.” No matter how fucking good it had been. He’d told himself that he didn’t have to hold back anymore, but he’d been wrong.
