Chapter 12

Rayanne was noticeably absent as her unwelcome guest tossed his valise in the back of his car and slammed the lid shut. A few seconds later the car roared to life. Shawn rolled down his window and stared at the cabin, his expression flat. Not that Wyatt cared what the man was thinking. He clearly wasn’t the right man for Rayanne. The car pulled away from the cabin in a cloud of dust.

Good riddance.

Earlier, Wyatt had reached the edge of the woods on his way to Blessing when he’d abruptly turned back. A mix of curiosity and jealousy had made him slip inside the cabin, determined to see what was going on between Rayanne and her would-be beau.

Watching the bastard kiss her had been like being dragged behind a horse across rocky ground. The only comfort was in knowing that Rayanne didn’t welcome his advances. Even so, there had been a hint of guilt in her eyes after Shawn retreated upstairs to pack. What was that about?

Hell, if he had her best interests at heart, he would’ve encouraged her to give the guy a chance. After all, Shawn could offer her everything Wyatt couldn’t, including a future.

Now wasn’t the time to press her for answers. He’d brushed against her on his way out, but it hadn’t been enough. He wished he could wrap her in his arms and hold her, to offer at least the comfort of his touch. On the other hand, he doubted being enfolded in a wave of cold would improve her mood. If only he could find a way to be with her. He could still sense her sadness.

Should he check on her?

Yes.

He drifted back toward the cabin. In his present form, he couldn’t knock. He passed through the door, stopping inside the kitchen to listen. Rayanne wasn’t there or in the living room. That left the upstairs, the one part of the cabin he’d never been before.

He paused, hovering at the foot of the steps. If he waited for an invitation, hell could freeze over before he got to see where Rayanne slept. Maybe it was wrong of him to want to intrude on her privacy, but it wasn’t only lust that had him wanting to see her in bed. He was worried about her.

He drifted upward, still considering his options. If she appeared to be fine, he’d leave, and she’d be none the wiser. But if she wasn’t, well, he’d do whatever he could to comfort her.

At the landing, he stopped to listen. The bathroom door was open, so he knew she wasn’t in there. The door to the room that had belonged to Ray was closed with nothing but silence on the other side. That left Rayanne’s bedroom.

A true gentleman wouldn’t cross the threshold into a lady’s room uninvited. Good thing he’d never been accused of being one. Her door was open. She stood by the bed, still wearing those skimpy shorts and shirt. In a burst of action, she peeled the sheets off the bed and heaved them toward the far corner.
