Ky

As much as it hurt to see the look on her face when I told her I wasn’t going running with her, I needed to get back to me. I needed to remember what I was doing here in the first place. My job was to protect her and as long as my heart was wrapped up in her, it was going to cloud my judgment. Unfortunately, this was a decision I had to make and stick with.

I paced back and forth across the living room, practically wearing a line in the carpet. She had been gone for exactly twenty-four minutes and every second that passed, I became more and more worried. I knew she was in good hands with Ruger, but a part of me couldn’t seem to settle down enough to let her be. I was used to being the one that took care of her, not Ruger.

I pulled back the curtains, glancing out across the vast fields when I caught sight of her. My eyes zeroed in on her gorgeous face and roaming eyes, as she ran past. I wasn’t exactly sure what she was looking for, but a large part of me was hoping it was me. I could feel my heart rate pick up as her gaze made its way over to me, and I quickly pulled the curtains back in place. I closed my eyes and let out an exasperated sigh as I leaned my head back against the wall. No matter what I did, this girl invaded my every waking thought and I wasn’t exactly sure how I was going to get past this.

A few minutes later, I heard the front screen door open. My heart jumped into my throat and my heart began to race as the thought of seeing Lyndley out of breath and sweaty. She was already hot as hell, but right after she had been running, she looked absolutely stunning. Unfortunately for me, it was Ruger who came walking through the door, not Lyndley.

“Hey man. What’s going on?”

“Nothing much. I thought you were keeping on eye on Lyndley?” I was a little annoyed by the fact that he was so nonchalant about the whole situation.

“She’s waiting for me over by the barn. I just came in to get her a bottle of water. What’s wrong with you?” He took a long pull off his beer bottle and my mouth began salivating. “Sorry, man. You want?”

I didn’t hesitate to answer. “That would be great. Thanks.”

I took one sip and realized just how much I had missed the cool amber liquid coating my insides and making me feel numb to it all. I quickly downed the rest of the bottle in my hand and made my way over to the fridge to grab another. “You don’t mind, do you?”

“Not at all. Whatever I have in this house is yours as well. Make yourself at home.”

“Thanks, man.” I headed back over to the couch with a new bottle and sat my exhausted ass down, propping my feet up on the coffee table in the process.
