I wondered who would be outside my door wanting me at this hour. Probably one of my parents, I thought. I wrapped my dressing gown around me and walked to open my door. The person waiting for me was not who I was expecting. Well, maybe it was deep down. My stomach did a somersault.
“Nathan.” His name barely escaped my lips. “What are you doing here?”
“That’s the second time you’ve said that to me tonight.”
“And before you said my parents invited you.”
“That’s true.”
“So, how do you know my parents?” I leaned against the doorframe and crossed my arms over my chest.
“I used to work at the courthouse.”
“Oh? Doing what?”
“I used to be a bailiff.”
My eyes widened. “No way!”
“Yeah.” He scratched his head, and I noticed he changed the subject quite quickly. “So I came to check on you, to see if you were okay.”
“I’m fine. Just a little shaken up.”
“I know. Look, what you heard…”
“How do you know what I heard?”
“I… I heard it, too.”
I paused and looked down at my hands. “What do you think it meant, Nathan? Frankie was arguing with my dad. They know each other.”
“Yeah, I know. But it’s probably because your father has helped him in the past.” When my shocked expression became apparent, he corrected himself. “Legally, I mean. Your dad is an attorney.”
“You’re right. I wonder what happened?”
“That’s not for us to know.” He placed a hand on my arm, and I looked up and met his eyes. There was something in them that made me want to reach out and pull him into me, to hold him close. I couldn’t deny the way he made me feel. As if sharing my emotions, he stepped towards me and put both hands on my face. He held me still as if I were a wild filly in danger of fleeing. That was the way these men made me feel. Ignoring everything my conscience was screaming, I let go and stepped into his arms.
“Nathan. Stay,” I whispered the last word and he looked up into my gaze. I was about to kiss him when he answered my request instead, kissing me hotly and with more passion than I could ever have imagined. I pulled him backwards with me into my room and kicked the door shut behind us.
