Chapter 12

The sun is high and so am I.

Hastings

“I’m beat,” Sammy said as he tugged his shirt off over his head and tossed it on the floor next to his feet. “How about you?”

My mouth went dry as the expanse of his chest was revealed.

“Okay.” I paused. “You got a new tattoo.”

He turned sideways slightly and lifted his arm, allowing me to see the full thing.

“Oh, wow,” I breathed as I ran my fingers along his rib cage. “It’s exquisite.”

It was a Viking shield.

It was cool as hell and very wonderfully done.

“Thanks,” he said. “It took about twelve hours straight work to do. I… I had a lot of time to kill while you were gone.”

I immediately felt like utter shit. Again.

“I really am sorry.” I sighed. “I… I just felt like… I was doing you a favor.”

He narrowed his eyes. “Why would you be doing me a favor?”

I gestured to myself. “Hot mess express, Samuel Adams. You have no clue what you’re getting when it comes to me. You don’t even know me yet. You’ve literally seen me for all of a day and a half altogether. Tops. I’m broken, Sammy.” I paused. “Did you know that I could pass Tourette’s down to the baby?”

He stared. “I had a heart condition as a kid. Almost had to have open heart surgery to fix it.” He paused. “Luckily, the hole healed up on its own. But there was a time there that I couldn’t even run. Would you be upset if I passed that down to the baby?”

I was immediately shaking my head. “No way. That’s not something you can help.”

He raised his brow at me as if to say, ‘and how can you?’

I scrunched up my nose at him and groaned. “I’m just… I don’t see my worth, Sammy.”

And that wasn’t a lie.

I couldn’t see why anybody would want to be with me, Samuel Adams Spurlock included.

To be honest, Sammy was absolutely worse than anyone I’d ever dated before. Sammy was… he was the hero in my stories.

He was the guy that I would describe in the first couple of pages in my book. Tall, handsome, and alpha. A man that, no matter what you put against him, would always succeed. A man that, likely, could get all the girls in the universe.

Yet, Sammy was choosing me?

That didn’t make any sense whatsoever.

“You’re worth it, Hastings,” he told me bluntly. “It’s only you that doesn’t see it.”

I opened my mouth to say something more but he caught my hand up and tugged me into the tiny bathroom.

“We should’ve taken a shower at my place,” he admitted. “You have a shower meant for an RV, not a house.”

“I have a tiny house,” I pointed out. “Technically, it really is considered one. It’s three hundred ninety-nine square feet.”

He shook his head as he opened the shower door that really was meant for just one and flipped on the spray.

Steam started to fill the air almost instantly.

“Let’s shower,” he ordered. “And it’s not like I have anything against you rubbing all up against me while we do.
