Chapter

Thirteen

Jacey was embarrassed by her behavior and only a little bit mollified that Cade was drawn to her. His words rang through her brain. She could picture him and hear his voice in her head perfectly. Maybe that was because spending time with him was the only solid memories she possessed. Maybe it was because he enthralled her, was taking care of her, she needed him, and she felt he was her perfect fit.

Sweetheart. I’m saying I’ve never been around a woman so enticing in my thirty years and if you don’t march back across the hallway, slam that door, and lock it, maybe shove a dresser in front of it, we’re both going to regret it.

She got chills just thinking of those words in his husky voice and that raw desire in his green eyes. Whew. He was interested in her, no doubt, but he was too honorable to kiss her. He’d regret kissing her if he did. Even worse, he thought kissing her wasn’t honorable because of her memory loss and their situation and had asked her not to ask that of him.

Jacey wanted to call Quaid and ask him to give her chosen bodyguard permission to kiss her any time he wanted.

She smiled as she got ready for bed and lay down. Cade had helped her change out the sheets after they came back from the horseback ride and changed their clothes. She’d almost protested that she wanted the sheets to smell like him. He would have probably thought she was being unsanitary.

She said her prayers, full of thanks for Cade and prayers for her mother to be caught and Quaid and Anna and Quaid’s friends and all the Colevilles and Cade and his family to be safe. She did not pray for her memory to return.

The snippets Quaid had shared were too horrific to comprehend. She was becoming more convinced her poor brain had shut the memories out to give her a respite from her horrific past and family life.

Lying there in Cade’s bed, she was relieved she felt safe and secure. It would not have gone over well if she had stormed into the guest room and told him she was having come-apart number twenty of the day and needed those strong arms around her. She shivered at the thought. He wouldn’t refuse her. She knew he wouldn’t.

Tempted could not begin to describe her thoughts then.

Please help me, she begged heaven above, knowing Cade was right about staying pure and avoiding the tempting situation.

I wouldn’t hang out at the bar if I was an alcoholic.

It struck her as a cute saying, but it typified Cade. He was in control. He was impressive. He was everything she wanted in a man. She thought.

Closing her eyes, she prayed for sleep.
