CHAPTER 15
Light And Shadow
A slow, sexy smile travels all the way to Reedâs eyes as he hugs me to him. Leaning close to my ear, he murmurs, âI missed you, too,â like he is telling me a secret that only we share. My heart beats harder with happiness while my cheeks flood with color. âDid I miss your game?â he asks me with disappointment in his tone, looking over at the field.
I give a little shrug, âYou probably wouldâve made the second half, but the Kappas had to forfeitâit was a shut out,â I reply, grateful that thereâll be no second half.
âThat bad, huh?â he asks me with a quirk of his eyebrow. When I nod, his green eyes sparkle with pleasure. âDid you score?â he asks me interestedly, tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear that has escaped from one of my braids.
âYes, but everyone scored at least once, so thatâs not such a huge accomplishment,â I say honestly, watching him as his smile grows a little bigger.
âDo you have plans now, or can you take a ride with me? We could go to my house for a while,â he asks me softly.
A small laugh resonates from him when I immediately nod my head enthusiastically. Turning around, he keeps one arm around my shoulder as we walk to his car. I spy Brownie and Buns watching me leave with Reed, so I wave goodbye to them as we retreat to the parking lot. Reaching his car, he pauses before opening the passenger door to kiss me gently. Feeling breathless and giddy, I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me.
âIâm glad youâre back,â I breathe near his ear.
âSo am I,â he whispers in return.
Opening my door for me, he waits while I climb into the seat. Walking around to the driverâs side, he gets in, too. Taking my hand, he places a tender kiss on it before releasing it so he can shift the car into gear.
A small frown clouds his eyes as he says, âI am sorry I left you here alone this weekend. I have been worried about you. How have you been?â
âIâm better now that youâre back.â I say evasively, and then ask, âWhere did you go? Your note didnât say.â
âA friend contacted me regarding a military issue he needed help resolving,â Reed says soberly. âI didnât want to goâI didnât want to leave you here unprotected, but had I not gone, I would have run the risk of my friend becoming suspicious about what would keep me from a mission,â he says, looking at me pointedly. âI would like to avoid that if at all possible.â
Frowning, I ask, âWhy wouldnât you want your friend to come here?â
Reed scans my face briefly before he answers reluctantly, âMy friend is an angel.â
âOhhâ¦and thatâs a problem because?â I trail off, hoping his answer wouldnât be terrible.
Reedâs frown deepens and his lips thin a little as he says, âLet me be perfectly clear about this, Evie.
