Page 28 of Wild Rush Of Love
Would she want to continue a relationship with him?
One that would span hundreds of miles—hours of travel?
He had a week to convince her they were worth the effort.
“Let’s get you into bed,” he said after making sure the door was deadlocked behind them.
Her face tipped up toward him and she grinned sleepily. “Hmm…I like the sound of that.”
He laughed. “I do too. C’mon.”
Supporting the majority of her weight, he walked down the hall he hoped would lead to her bedroom. Reena stumbled a little. Before she could trip again, Rush lifted her off her feet and swung her up into his arms.
She snuggled into him and took a deep, shuddering breath, her body going lax against him.
“This is nice,” she murmured into his neck, her warm breath sending shivers down his spine.
He clenched his jaw and ground his teeth in an attempt to ignore the lust simmering in his veins. Taking care of Reena might cost him his sanity at this rate.
“Ah…this looks like it.” He smiled and maneuvered them into the room with the unmade bed and clothes tossed in the corner.
So his Reena wasn’t a neat freak. Good to know. Personally, he didn’t see the point of making a bed when you were just going to mess it up again. And while he had no intention of messing this one up the way he’d like tonight, he definitely had plans to do so in the future.
After he’d spent the next few days getting under Reena’s skin the way she’d gotten under his.
Chapter Fourteen
Reena woke sluggishly,the smell of fresh coffee drawing her out of slumber. Stretching her arms over her head, she moaned in pleasure as muscles pulled taut with a satisfying ache.
“Morning, beautiful.”
“Argh!” She sprang upright and slapped a hand over her pounding heart. “Crap.”
“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.” Rush smiled as he sat on the edge of her bed.
Blinking rapidly, Reena wondered if it were possible she was still asleep, dreaming.
His smile widened. “Thought you might like some caffeine to help you wake up.”
Nope. Not a dream. She’d forgotten. How could she forget he was here?
“Thank you,” she murmured while wrapping her fingers around the cup he offered. She brought the fragrant brew to her lips and took a generous sip.
Sugared and creamed exactly the way she liked.
“You remember how I have my coffee?” she asked after another energy-boosting gulp. They’d only had it twice in the two weeks she’d spent in Winter Lake.
“Just one of the many things about you I’ll never forget.” He brushed a finger down her nose and tapped the end. “There’s more where that came from. Meet you in the kitchen. I’ve got breakfast cooking.”
“You’re cooking?”
He nodded and got to his feet. “Can’t spend the morning exploring the city on empty stomachs.”
“The city?”
“You promised to be my tour guide. Thought we’d head down to Inner Harbor today. Visit the aquarium, walk the waterfront. Sound good?”
Reena could only nod. The man had spent the night in her house and they hadn’t had sex. Well, not that she could remember… “Which room did you take?”
