“A
Physical Reminder”
Derek
The cottage is dark when I arrive at
6 a.m. Elaine is the only one with an early wake-up call, so it’s possible I
can get into Melissa’s room before they’re up and stirring. Driving all night
might not have been the most restful approach, but with the energy surging
through my chest, I knew I wouldn’t get any sleep anyway. I’ll nap a few hours
this morning and be ready to go without losing a day.
Dropping my duffel by the stainless
fridge inside, I ease off my boots and place them one at a time by the door doing
my best to keep quiet. Grabbing a water bottle, I head to Melissa’s bedroom,
but I nearly slam it against the skull of a half-dressed Patrick. He’s right
around the corner, holding a wooden baseball bat high, like he’s about to use
my head for the winning homer in the World Series.
“SHIT!”
we both whisper-shout.
“What the fuck?” Patrick lowers the
bat and breathes.
I recognize the energy surging
through his muscles. It matches the rapid tweaking of my own, and I need a
second to recover.
“You could’ve shot me a text,” he
groans, dropping onto the couch. “Did you fucking drive all night?”
“Couldn’t sleep.” I clap his
shoulder as I pass. “Glad to see you’re on your toes. You’re officially off
guard duty.”
“Hey!” I pause, and he tosses me the
bat. “Happy to help. I’m going back to bed.”
Catching his “weapon,” my brow
lines. “Think you’ll be able to sleep?”
“Nope.” That grin spreads across his
face. It’s the same one that used to tick me off because I knew it meant I’d be
cleaning up his shit sooner rather than later.
“Just keep it down. I don’t need to
hear you getting any.”
He points back at me as he heads
down the hall. “Right back atcha.”
Shaking my head, I turn Melissa’s
bedroom door handle as softly as possible. Unlike my younger partner, I don’t
plan to wake her this early. I know the pregnancy makes her tired, and I’ll be
content to be beside her. It’ll be the first good rest I’ve had in four days,
knowing she’s with me and safe.
She’s curled in her familiar
sleeping position, and I can’t help a smile as the warmth of love fills me. I
will never get tired of watching this woman sleep.
Jeans off, I whip the thin, navy
sweater I’m wearing over my head and slip into her king-sized bed. She doesn’t
even stir, and I’m happy she feels so secure with Patrick in the house. He
might have been a pain in my ass in the past, but he’s more than made up for it
with this assignment.
Easing closer to her, I lift her
long, dark waves off the pillow and replace them with my head. She makes a soft
noise and stirs, but she doesn’t wake. My arm goes above her, and our bodies
are so close, I can feel the warmth radiating from her ivory skin.
Wrapping a dark curl around my
finger, the tension slowly drains from my body. Being with her is enough. She’s
home and comfort and warmth and all the good things I thought I’d never have
again. She’s my future and my desire and my love, and the notion that some
dickwad might try to hurt this woman, might threaten what I cherish…
She sighs and scoots closer to me,
still asleep. The idea that she knows I’m here is incredibly satisfying. My own
eyes are heavy, and I lower my head.
In three breaths, I’m out.
