Chapter 2

“Your mom is going to be offended,” Skylar said as she ran her brush through her hair. Liam emerged from the bathroom, his torso bare. Skylar let her eyes roam over the smooth planes of his chest, the divots where muscle met muscle. He was more tanned than the first time she had seen him naked, and she attributed it to the time they spent in France on the beach.

“She should have known better when she offered for us to stay with her,” Liam said, shaking out his wet hair. Skylar giggled and tried to duck out of the way of the water droplets, then she felt terrible for giggling. Farah was missing, Liam’s home had been burnt to the ground, and they had no idea who or what was doing it.

“Hey,” Liam said, noticing her distress. He stepped closer to her and pulled her into a hug. “We’re doing the best we can. Don’t let this eat you up.”

“Doesn’t it bother you that Farah is gone? Or that someone is clearly out to get you?”

Liam shook his head. “Of course, it does, but there’s nothing I can do about it other than what we’re doing. I’ve called some architects and constructors out to the house tomorrow, they’re going to look and see what they can do.”

Skylar pulled away from him, picking her brush up and running it through her hair again. She met his eyes in the mirror.

“I just… maybe we should have stayed with your mom, just to make sure she’s okay.”

Skylar couldn’t help thinking about what Leah had asked from her. Skylar glanced at Liam and imagined him standing across from her, all dressed up in a suit. A shudder went through her at the thought, heat pooling in her belly. Liam would be her husband; she would be Mrs. Conway.

“We couldn’t stay with my mother,” Liam murmured, stepping closer to Skylar again. This time she let her head fall back so Liam could leave kisses across her collarbone.

“Why not?” she asked, her voice breathless.

“Because,” Liam said pulling back to grin, “the noise would disturb her.”

Then he cupped his hands under her ass and hoisted her up, so she could wrap her legs around his waist. She wrapped her arms around his neck and readily kissed him, breathless at the way he still made her feel. She giggled as he slipped her nightgown off her shoulders, kissing the smooth skin there.

Liam lay her down gently on the bed, using his strong arms to stay above her. He stopped for a moment, catching a glimpse of her with her eyes closed, her head tipped back against the white hotel bedding. Her blonde hair was spread around her head on the bed, cascading over the sheets.

At that moment, like so many times before, Liam couldn’t suppress the thoughts that ran through his head. Mine, mine, mine.

“I love you,” he said, instead.

Skylar smiled and ran her hand over his bare chest, her eyes skirting over his torso and shoulders, before landing on his eyes.
