CHAPTER 9

Smith

Despite my outward bravado, Elise’s words haunt me. Not that I can’t handle complicated—I know I can. Hell, I lived through my parents’ complicated and didn’t even get a freaking T-shirt.

But do I want to go through that myself? Up until now, I’ve opted to keep my own love life simple, easy. Honestly, a half-step up from one-night stands. Most girls last two, three months, tops.

Now, lying here in the darkness holding Elise in my arms, I debate my options. Sure, I could sneak out right now and be done with the entire sticky situation. I’d probably still even land the reno job. Deep down, though, I know there’s no way I’m doing that. Even though we just met, it’s like I’ve known this woman my entire life. There’s something between us, a magnetic pull, and I can’t walk away. No matter how messy things are.

As I listen to her breathing, steady and calm on my bare chest, my resolve builds. I don’t know how we got here, but I damn sure know how I want to end up—just like this, every single night.

I want—need—this woman in my life.

Closing my eyes, I finally drift off, the light patter of the rain lulling me to sleep.
