Chapter 12

When Judd insisted on driving her to work the next morning, Autumn didn’t argue. But as she sat beside him in his cruiser, she marveled at how just riding in a car with him felt different. Her very skin seemed attuned to him, aware of his proximity without her even looking, as if he were a magnet pulling her in. Despite having never kissed before yesterday, they’d always had deeper intimacy than normal friends. She’d slept with him countless times. She knew his face, his body language, his history, every tone of his voice. And now she knew his body, how it fit with hers. In all her fantasies—and she’d had plenty—she’d never imagined that waking up with him this morning would be so much different. That physical intimacy could deepen what she felt for him, when she’d already felt so much.

It’d been late by the time his officers left. The scene had been processed and she’d gone through her encounter with her father at the diner. Judd had already confirmed Jebediah hadn’t left the Mockingbird Motel during the time in question, so it hadn’t been him who’d paid them a visit. But they were already operating under the assumption that he had someone else doing his legwork.

Would he go so far as to have someone else make an attempt on Judd’s life? That was the fear that took her by the throat in the deep hours of the night. She’d turned to him in the dark, taking comfort in his body as she’d never been able to do in the past. They’d made desperate love until nearly dawn, but the light didn’t banish the shadows.

She couldn’t lose him. Not now.

But mixed up with the fear was a profound sense of happiness as he walked her into the library, her hand firmly wrapped in his. After all these years, they were finally, truly together. Inside, he made a full sweep of the place while she went through the routine of opening for the day. Satisfied the building was clear, he came back to the circulation desk.

“When does somebody else get here?”

“Mitzi’s usually in by 8:30. Livia’s on the schedule this morning, too, so she’ll be here in a little while. She’s not a morning person, so she’ll stop by The Grind first. I haven’t looked at the volunteer list yet.”

“Okay. I’ll just stick around for a few minutes.”

“I can lock the door until they get here if you need to get going.”

“Benefits of being the boss,” he said. “Besides, if I stay, I get to do this.” He crowded her back against the desk, boosting her up to sit on its edge.

Autumn automatically parted her legs to accommodate his big body as he leaned in.

“Have I mentioned how much these little dresses you bought drive me insane?” His hands slid up her thighs, beneath the skirt.

“You have not.” Autumn couldn’t even be annoyed her voice came out breathy because she was already thinking about the easy access the dresses provided and wondering how long they really had.
