Chapter Six

Lexi

I’d been on edge since I’d spoken to Julian so Jen decided to take Katie to the park. Eric volunteered to go with them and even though Jen didn’t look pleased about it she relented when she saw my face. Eric would keep them both safe; I wouldn’t let her take Katie otherwise. I had no doubt that Jen would do everything in her power to protect her, but I didn’t want her to have to. Eric was trained, and he knew what to do in these kinds of situations.

They’d just left; Ryder had taken Eric’s bags to his house and gone to pack a bag of his own. I’d decided to take a shower, I would have preferred a bath, but I really did spend way too long in it, and I wanted some alone time with Ryder. I stripped my clothes off and turned the shower on, waiting for the water to heat up before stepping in. The water hit my body, and I sighed, standing still under the spray, I closed my eyes and relaxed. Grabbing my shower gel I squeezed a blob into my palm and cleaned myself. I imagined my hands were Ryder’s as I rubbed the bubbles everywhere. I’ve never felt so turned on by my own touch before. I shook my head at myself, Ryder would be back soon. Rushing through the rest of my shower, I climbed out and wrapped a towel around my hair; I dried my body and slipped my robe around me. I was just rubbing my hair dry when I heard a knock on the front door. Panic set in, had something happened to Katie? I imagined the police standing there and ran to the door. I didn’t even think about the fact I was just wearing a robe. I pulled open the door not taking the time to check who was standing there. My shoulders relaxed when I saw it was Ryder on the other side, but when I got a look at his face, I swallowed hard. I could almost taste his fury.

“What’s the matter?” I whispered.

“You, in that robe.” He bit the words out through clenched teeth.

I didn’t know what to say, it turned out I didn’t have to say anything. I gasped when he planted a hand on my stomach and pushed me gently into the house, quickly following behind me and closing the door. He stepped away from me and I noticed he was breathing hard.

“What the hell Lexi, you do not open doors half-naked.”

“I’m not half-naked,” I argued.

He didn’t speak, instead, his eyes wandered down my body and I looked down following his stare. “Shit.” I groaned. My nipples were visible through the material. I crossed my arms to cover them.

“It could have been anyone at your door. You put yourself in danger and it was stupid!” he shouted at me.

He was right. I dropped my eyes from his. “I was worried something had happened to Katie. I didn’t think. I’m sorry.
