Hissing a breath of relief that no intruder was inside, he stowed his gun inside his jacket, then went outside to the car and lifted Aspen from the seat. She moaned softly in her sleep, and snuggled against him as he carried her to the front stoop.
She was wrapped in the blanket, wearing the scrubs the nurse had given her at the E.R. when they’d removed her damp clothes, so he carried her to her bedroom, pulled down the covers and laid her on the crisp clean sheets. For a brief second her eyes flickered open, and she looked at him with glazed eyes.
He inhaled her sweet fragrance, the softness of her skin, and ached to crawl in bed beside her. To rekindle the heat between them.
“You’re home now,” he said gently, then pulled the quilt over her and brushed back her hair.
She tugged at his hand, and a hollow feeling of need gripped him.
“Where are you going?’ she whispered in a sleep-laced voice that triggered images of the two of them in bed together, of her voice purring his name after a night of lovemaking.
“I know it sounds silly,” she whispered, “but I don’t want to be alone.”
God, he didn’t want that, either. He wanted to make love to her.
Instead, he brushed the pad of his thumb across her cheek. “I’ll sleep on the couch,” he said, his voice thick and hoarse. “If you need me just call.”
She nodded, closed her eyes again and curled into her bed. He ached to drop a kiss on her cheek, then her mouth, but remembered the doctor’s warning and forced himself to leave the room.
Still, his body hummed with arousal and a fierce hunger that could only be sated by Aspen.
A woman who saw him as a perfect stranger.
