Josh fell back on the mattress, pulling her with him so her body covered his. “Jesus, I’m broken.”

Holly laughed against his chest. “That makes two of us.” They’d been in bed since she’d arrived at his place, save for an emergency break to inhale some food. He was too irresistible for his own good.

“You’re an addiction, you know that?” Josh brushed a tendril of hair from her brow. “I keep trying to concentrate on work, but all I can think about is you.”

Her heart thrilled at his words. “Maybe that’s my plan. Distract you while we steal the town back from you.”

The corner of his lips quirked. “What a way to lose money.” He ran his fingertip down the line of her spine, making her shiver. “You want a drink?”

“No.”

“A shower?”

“In a bit. I don’t think I can walk right now. There are no nerve endings left in my legs.”

Josh laughed, running his soft lips over her brow. How easy life would be if they could always stay here. Not think about work or family or fighting over this town. He was holding her again, his thick biceps pressed against her upper arms, and she couldn’t remember the last time she felt this good.

Or this safe.

Which was wrong, because she wasn’t safe. And wasn’t that confusing? Her body was saying one thing, and her heart the other.

“I’m pretty sure I’ll never walk again. I’m too old to go three times in one night.”

“You didn’t feel old to me.” She kissed his chest, and he stirred beneath her. “Feels like part of you wants to go again.”

He winced. “Ignore it. It’s like one of those ghost limbs. You think you can feel it, but it’s really not there.”

Holly laughed, and the movement made him even harder against her. “It’s definitely there.”

“Let’s talk about something else. See if we can get him to go away.” Josh lifted her chin so he could kiss her. She sighed against his lips, kissing him back, feeling her body slowly coming back to life.

“How about I ask you that question again?” Holly suggested, a sparkle in her eye. Maybe she’d finally get an answer.

“Okay. Shoot.”

She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth, eyeing him carefully. “What’s the thing you keep in your pocket that you don’t want me to know about?”

Josh grinned. “I thought we were ignoring him?”

Holly narrowed her eyes. “You know what I’m talking about.”

“It’s stupid.” He ran his tongue along his bottom lip. “But you can look if you want. It’s in my pants pocket. Right side.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Go on.” He nodded, watching with interest as she clambered naked over him, and reached for the pants she’d stripped off of him earlier. Sure enough, there was a lump in the pocket. She reached in, her fingers touching a smooth, cool surface.

“A pebble?” She frowned, lifting it out and inspecting it. It was about an inch and a half long, made of smooth, white stone.

“Turn it over.”

She glanced at him and then back at her hand, turning it in her palm.
