“Yes, it does.”
She looked at him over her shoulder.“Aren’t we going to make love?”
“Not tonight.I can tell you’re tired.”
“But...”she said.
“No, Baby.Just holding you is enough right now.”
She smiled at him, wiggled a bit to get closer, sighed, and fell asleep.
He spent the next few hours staring into the fire and contemplating what he needed to do if he wanted her with him.Everything would be fine if doubts didn’t seep into his head.
Kaleb couldn’t think of anything that would make him feel more secure.
Chapter Thirteen
“Hey, isn’t that Myla?”Jeff said and pointed to where Myla was running down the block with a huge smile on her face.She threw herself into the arms of another man.
Kaleb stood on the street corner with his friend Jeff, across from her.
“Yeah,” he said, distracted.Fuck.This was his worst nightmare come to life.
It was midday on a Friday, so the streets and sidewalks were crowded with people out for lunch or shopping.
“He’s a cop,” Jeff stated.
“How do you know that?”Kaleb asked without taking his eyes off Myla.
“I saw a badge and gun under his jacket,” Jeff grunted.“She must just like cops.”
“Yeah, maybe,” Kaleb said as he watched them go into a café.
“Jeeze, the guy could be a fucking model.”Jeff grimaced when he caught sight of the expression on his face.He slapped the back of Kaleb’s shoulder.“Do you want to go meet him?I bet they’re just friends.I can’t see Myla wanting another guy.”
Kaleb sucked in a deep breath and shook his head.
