I hadn’t meant to doze off, but somewhere between watching Hilary remodeling an old farmhouse and David showing a peculiarly picky couple houses on HGTV, I’d fallen asleep on my side, with my back curled against Reece’s front.
I’d never fallen asleep on a couch with a guy before. Seemed like such a simple thing that I imagined millions of people took for granted, but it was something entirely new for me.
At first, I wasn’t sure what woke me up. I blinked open my eyes, confused. There was an infomercial on TV, selling the newest Bowflex machine. I stared at it for a moment, seconds from drifting back to sleep, when I felt Reece jerk behind me.
My heart jumped at the unexpected movement. His arm was lax under me, but when I looked over my shoulder, I could see the tension practically pouring off him. He was on his side but his face was turned up to the ceiling. His jaw was locked in a tight, hard line and his brows were furrowed. Every couple of seconds, those thick lashes would twitch. His lips moved, the words silent, but his chest rose with a sudden, ragged, and broken breath.
“Reece?” I whispered, but he didn’t hear me. His chest rose again, the breathing more rapid. I twisted onto my other side, facing him as I pressed my hand on his chest. “Reece.”
He jolted away, his gaze fixed on the ceiling, and for a moment, he looked so far away, as if he wasn’t even aware of where he was. Seconds ticked by and then he turned his head toward me. His expression relaxed. “Hey,” he murmured.
“Everything okay?” I asked.
He swallowed. “Yeah.”
I didn’t really believe him. “You sure?”
Reece’s arm curved around me as he tucked me against his side. “Yeah, sweets, everything is fine.” As he threaded his fingers through my hair and guided my cheek to his chest, he sighed deeply. “Everything is good now.”
“You got some this weekend.”
I nearly choked on my soda as I looked up. Katie slid into the booth across from me, a bright pink-checkered bandana wrapped around her head. Her off the shoulder fuzzy blue sweater looked like it had it out with a bedazzler and lost the battle. She wasn’t alone.
Calla sat down next to Katie. She’d come back into town yesterday morning and had worked at the bar last night. Grinning, she tugged her blond hair up into a ponytail. I remembered, when I first met her she’d always kept her hair down to hide the scar. Not so much anymore.
Ignoring Katie’s somewhat astute comment, I nodded at Calla. “I’m surprised Jax let you out of his house to have breakfast.”
“He knows better than to get between me and food and my friends.” Flipping open the menu, she raised delicately arched brows at me. “So, is Katie right? You get some?”
Katie grinned. “I’m always right.”
I rolled my eyes as I sat back against the booth. Reece had fallen back asleep after what I guessed was a nightmare, and I’d taken him home yesterday morning. Before he’d climbed out of my car, he’d leaned over and kissed me. Just thinking about that scalding kiss made me want to fan myself, and then it made me think of what I’d watched him do.
Goodness, I needed a cold shower.
He’d worked the night shift, and I figured he was probably sleeping right now. He’d texted me right before I’d gotten off, a quick message telling me to let him know when I got home, and I did. The request was . . . cute, like he was thinking of me, and it made me feel all girlie.
“The tips of your ears are burning,” Calla pointed out, eyes narrowing. “Come on, fess up.”
The waitress saved me for a few minutes while she took our orders. Katie ordered half the diner, going for every version of bacon and sausage they had. “I need my protein,” she said as Calla and I gaped at her. “Dancing and climbing a pole is one hell of a workout. You guys should try it.”
I giggled. “No thanks.”
Katie rolled cornflower-colored eyes. “You guys are no fun.” She twisted toward Calla. “When is Teresa coming back up? She wanted to learn how to shake it until she breaks it.”
“I think she and Jase are coming up in a few weekends with me.” Calla smiled as the waitress returned with two coffees and a fresh soda for me. Then she pinned me with a look. “Did you and Reece
hook up?”
“What?”
At the same time, Katie answered, “Yes.”
I shot her a baleful look. “How do you know if we hooked up? Were you hiding in my house?”
“I know things,” she replied. “I know lots of things. And you totally just assumed that I’d be hiding in your house, which means something of the fleshy kind went down in your house.”
Calla propped her elbows on the table. “And Jax told me Reece came in on his night off and waited for you to get off. That you drove him home.”
“Jax gossips like a thirteen-year-old girl,” I retorted, but I wasn’t upset with the line of questioning. I was glad both girls could do breakfast this morning, because I really, really needed to talk to them.
A moment passed and then I leaned forward, unable to keep quiet about it a second longer. “Okay. We kind of did hook up Friday night

Saya tidak bermaksud tertidur, tetapi di suatu tempat antara menonton Hilary renovasi sebuah rumah pertanian tua dan David menampilkan beberapa idea yang khusus kepada pemilih rumah di HGTV, aku telah jatuh tertidur di sisi saya, dengan punggung saya meringkuk terhadap Reece di depan.Saya tidak pernah tertidur di sofa dengan seorang pria sebelum. Tampak seperti hal sederhana bahwa aku membayangkan jutaan orang mengambil untuk diberikan, tapi itu adalah sesuatu yang sama sekali baru bagi saya.Pada awalnya, aku tidak yakin apa membangunkan saya. Saya berkedip membuka mata saya, bingung. Ada infomercial di TV, menjual mesin Bowflex terbaru. Aku menatap itu sejenak, detik dari melayang kembali ke tidur, ketika aku merasa Reece brengsek di belakang saya.Hatiku melompat pada gerakan yang tak terduga. Lengan adalah lax di bawah saya, tapi ketika aku melihat bahu saya, aku bisa melihat ketegangan praktis menuangkan melotot padanya. Dia di sisi tapi wajahnya berubah ke langit-langit. Rahang beliau terkunci di garis keras ketat, dan alis nya adalah berkerut. Setiap beberapa detik, bulu mata tebal tersebut akan kedutan. Bibirnya bergerak, kata-kata yang diam, tetapi naik dadanya dengan napas tiba-tiba, compang-camping dan rusak."Reece?" Bisikku, tetapi ia tidak mendengar saya. Dadanya bangkit kembali, bernapas lebih cepat. Aku memutar ke sisi lain, menghadap ke arahnya ketika saya menekan tanganku di dadanya. "Reece."Dia mengguncang, dengan tatapan yang terpaku pada langit-langit, dan untuk beberapa saat, dia tampak begitu jauh, seolah-olah ia tidak bahkan menyadari mana ia berada. Oleh ticked detik dan kemudian ia menoleh kepala ke arahku. Ekspresi santai. "Hei," ia bersungut."Semua baik-baik saja?" Saya bertanya.Ia menelan. "ya."Aku benar-benar tidak percaya kepadanya. "Anda yakin?"Reece's lengan melengkung di sekitar saya seperti yang ia terselip saya terhadap sisinya. "Ya, permen, semuanya baik-baik saja." Ketika ia threaded melalui rambut saya jari-jarinya dan dipandu pipi saya ke dadanya, Dia menghela napas dalam-dalam. "Segala sesuatu baik sekarang.""Anda punya beberapa ini akhir pekan."Saya hampir tercekik soda saya ketika saya melihat ke. Katie meluncur ke dalam bilik di hadapanku, bandana kotak pink cerah membungkus kepalanya. Dia dari bahu kabur biru sweter tampak seperti itu telah keluar dengan bedazzler dan kalah. Dia tidak sendirian.Calla duduk di samping Katie. Dia akan datang kembali ke kota kemarin pagi dan telah bekerja di bar tadi malam. Dia menyeringai, menarik rambut pirang sampai ke ekor kuda. Aku ingat, ketika saya pertama kali bertemu dengannya dia telah selalu memelihara rambut untuk menyembunyikan bekas luka. Tidak begitu banyak lagi.Mengabaikan Katie's agak cerdik komentar, aku menganggukkan di Calla. "Saya terkejut Jax membiarkan Anda keluar dari rumahnya untuk sarapan.""Dia tahu lebih baik daripada untuk mendapatkan antara aku dan makanan serta teman-teman." Membalik buka menu, ia mengangkat alis melengkung halus pada saya. "Jadi, Apakah Katie tepat? Anda mendapatkan beberapa?"Katie tersenyum. "Saya selalu benar."I rolled my eyes as I sat back against the booth. Reece had fallen back asleep after what I guessed was a nightmare, and I’d taken him home yesterday morning.
