Harley

We sat on the couch for a while and shared his noodles. I was anxious about all that happened tonight. I’d sent Molly a text and asked her to apologize to Jared for me. I felt terrible about the way I’d left, but I’d already established early on with him that I wasn’t interested in anything more than a friendship. My head was too focused on one particular Montgomery brother. It had been since the day I’d met him. I didn’t know why. We were so different. Yet something pulled me toward him. He made me feel things I’d never felt.

Like I belonged.

Like I was special.

Like I actually mattered.

And now he wanted to date me. I didn’t know how that would work. Ford didn’t have a great track record, and I wasn’t the most trusting person on Earth either. The combo would most likely be disastrous, but for some reason… I wanted to try.

“So, what should we do? It’s after midnight. You want me to sleep here tonight?” I asked, turning to face him where we sat on the couch.

“I want you to sleep here every night.”

I rolled my eyes. “Not happening. Let’s take this one night at a time. I’ll sleep here tonight. But I’m not having sex with you.”

He chuckled. “Of course, you’re not. That would be far too easy.”

“I’m anything but easy,” I said as he pushed to his feet and pulled me into his arms.

I wrapped my legs around his waist, and he carried me down the hall. I whistled when we entered his ridiculously large bedroom with floor-to-ceiling glass and views of the city. The moon brightened the dark sky, and I turned to gaze out the windows.

“That’s some view.”

“I like this view better,” he said as his gaze locked with mine.

“Such a smooth talker. Do those lines really work?”

He laughed. “I don’t use lines. Never have. And you’re the first woman to ever sleep in this bed, or in this apartment.”

I buried my face in his neck. It was too much. Ford Montgomery’s presence was overwhelming at times. Like he was reaching into my chest and squeezing my heart. I’d never experienced such strong feelings for another person. Our connection was—powerful. And terrifying at the same time.

“Well, thank you for having me. Can you set me down, and loan me a T-shirt to sleep in?”

He smiled. “Of course.”

We both stepped into the bathroom and I was thankful that I had a hair tie in my purse. I wrapped my hair in a high bun on top of my head and washed my face. I glanced at the oversized tub. “Wow. I’ve never seen such a big bathtub.”

“Yeah. It’s never been used.”

I gasped. “Seriously? That’s crazy. I don’t know if you know this about me, but I don’t take showers. I actually hate them. I only take baths.”

He turned to face me. “Really? I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t take showers. Although I guess I’ve never asked.”

I laughed. “Yeah. It’s just always been my thing.
