CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Forty-six minutes later, Melanie towel-dried her hair then put on the huge white t-shirt she’d found in the linen closet. She held it to her nose and sniffed deeply, but didn’t smell Brock’s spicy, outdoorsy scent, just laundry detergent. With a huffed breath, and not a little disappointment, she gave up on him coming to find her in the bathroom. She thought maybe after he calmed down some, he would. But he hadn’t.

Walking to the door, she grabbed the unopened box of condoms she’d found in the medicine cabinet from the counter, opened the door and flicked off the light. Striding down the hallway to the bedroom door, she stopped. It was open a crack, but it was dark inside so she stood there for a second gnawing her lip, wondering if she should take the second bedroom she’d found beside the bathroom. Or sleep on the sofa maybe?

No—she was going in that bedroom and she was sleeping in bed with him.

She wasn’t that insecure girl anymore, and she was not going to let him throw up walls between them because he was scared. And that’s what she figured out his problem was. Yeah, forgetting to wear a condom was serious, but not to the degree that he freaked out. It was almost as if he blamed her for tempting him, which was ridiculous. He was a grown man and needed to face the fact that he fucked up, but then forgive himself for doing it too.

She was not a psychiatrist, but she’d thought about it in the shower and Brock should probably see someone to deal with those issues. Maybe she would gently recommend that to him in the morning. The other thing she was going to suggest was that he take his son with him to the cabin in the hills. He loved Brady dearly, and it didn’t look like with the two jobs and all the other stressors in his life, Lucy in particular, that he had much one-on-one time with him. It would probably do them both some good, and it would mean that he wouldn’t be worrying about Brady while he was trying to relax.

From her threat to sue for sole custody, Mel figured out they must share joint custody of him now. That meant that she couldn’t legally stop him from taking Brady with him, especially since he was out of school for the weekend, as of three o’clock this afternoon.

Melanie huffed a breath as she went inside the bedroom, set the box on the dresser and padded to the bed where she heard soft, even breaths in the dark. She sat on the edge, pushed back the covers and tried to be as quiet as possible as she tucked her legs under the cool sheets and laid her head on the pillow. She gasped when strong arms jerked her back into a rock-hard body that was as hot as a blast furnace. Brock squeezed her to him, held her tightly and his breath tickled her ear in the dark as he kissed the side of her head.
