“Clairvoyant.”
His mouth twitched. “No.”
“I find that hard to believe.”
He stroked my cheek, running his thumb gently over my bottom lip. “I’ve never had a one-night stand, and I’ve never slept with anyone after only knowing them a day.”
“Great, I’m a slut,” I grumbled.
“If you’re a slut, then I am too.”
I couldn’t stop a grin. “I’m okay with that, if we’re in this together.”
He kissed me again. “We’re totally in this together.”
I sighed. “I really like you, Jaxon.”
“What a coincidence,” he said. “I really like me too.”
I laughed, shaking my head. “Your parents really sucked at giving you self-esteem.”
“Oh, I know. I have always threatened to send them my therapy bills.” He settled back on the bed and pulled me over his chest. “In all seriousness, though. I really like you too, Harmony. I like the idea of getting to know you over the next few weeks.”
His phone buzzed on the nightstand and he grabbed it, keeping me tight to his body. “Hey, Brock. Yeah?” Releasing me, he sat up. “Nothing? Hmm. Yeah, that’s interesting. Yep, it’s what I’m thinking too. Sure. Okay. We’ll talk tomorrow. Bye.” Jaxon set his phone back on the nightstand and shifted to face me.
“What?” I asked, sitting up, my heart racing. “Is Mel okay?”
“She’s fine. In fact, she’s perfectly safe.”
“Okay.” I relaxed. “Then why do you look concerned?”
“Not sure yet.”
“What aren’t you telling me?”
“I don’t think your sister’s the target.”
“What the hell does that mean?” I asked, sitting up on my knees.
He sighed. “I think you’re the target.”
“What the—? Um, no. There’s no way. I’m a nobody.”
“Nobodies get stalked all the time,” he pointed out.
I slid off the bed and grabbed my clothes. “What evidence do you have?”
“Years of tracking down psychos who disobeyed restraining orders.”
“No,” I snapped. “That it’s me that’s being stalked.”
His mouth went up in a smirk, indicating he knew exactly what I was asking. “It’s a theory right now.”
“Well, your theory’s wrong.” I pulled my T-shirt on over my head.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“Don’t we need to head back?”
