Chapter Fifteen

Sydney woke from a dead sleep, her eyes flying open from a dream as the answer came to her. She knew what the key was for. Excitement tinged her belly as she remembered, the thrill of the chase burning her blood. She slid from beneath Kingsley’s heavy arm across her belly and reached for the key she had set on the nightstand beside the clock. It was six pm she noted as she picked up the key and turned it over in her hand.

“Syd.” Kingsley’s voice came to her ears and she twisted to see him on one elbow in the bed looking sexier than sin in a tousled way that stylists the world over spent hours trying to recreate.

“I remembered, Kingsley. I know what this key is for.” She knew she sounded hurried and excited.

“You do?” His grin widened as he reached for her, stopping short of touching her. Allowing her to move to him but not demanding it. She crawled across the bed to him, curling into the crook between his bent legs and torso as he curled his arm around her waist in a light hold.

“It’s from an old textile mill. See!” She shoved the key at him so he could see it. The key had the name Milton on it and was hard to see unless you knew to look for it.

“And this key is for a mill?” His voice was alert now but still soft when he looked at her.

“Yes, I had completely forgotten about it. My mom’s great grandfather owned it, but it was run down. He had left it to one of my grandmother’s cousins. My mom took me a few times. Apparently when she was young, she and my aunt would play there.”

“Looks like we have our next clue. Get dressed, and I’ll contact the team and update them on where to go. Write the address down.” She went to roll away to do as he bid, but he stopped her with a hand on her arm. “Earlier, what happened between us…” he started, and she stilled at the rejection she expected. “It meant something. It meant a lot. I don’t know what the future holds, Sydney, but I know I want you in it.”

Sydney was shocked by his words. Braced for the worst when the sweetness that was Kingsley flowed over her, she was unprepared for it. “Kingsley.” She lifted a hand to cup his face.

“You don’t have to answer, but I want you to know where I stand.”

Sydney remained silent processing what he had said, wondering if she was brave enough to take a leap with this man who, in a few days, had come to mean so much to her. “Thank you for telling me.” Her voice was but a whisper and she touched her mouth to his.

“You’re welcome.” His grin went all the way to his eyes.

They got ready in comfortable silence. Kingsley contacted the team while she dressed and then made sure the room was clear while she snagged her hair into a ponytail.
