Sky nodded.“I’ll see you tonight.”She watched in fascination as a dark cloud swept across his face before he turned angrily and stormed off.
“What did I do?”she asked herself quietly.
Sky dressed and made her way downstairs.After a quick cup of coffee, she spent the majority of that day in the office and their bedroom.It took hours to hang the new clothes and take the tags off.
She spent time in the office making stacks of books.She decided to organize his library into separate topics and then alphabetize them.Sky realized the shadows that had lengthened in the room told her the sun was starting to set.She headed toward the kitchen, afraid she’d be late.
“Abby, can I help with anything?”Sky asked hesitantly.
Abby turned as she stirred something on the stove.“No, dear.I have everything under control.Dinner will be served in ten minutes.You’ve got to be hungry.You only had coffee today.You skipped lunch.”
“I was putting my clothes away and then worked on the library, and the time just got away from me.Has Jared come in yet?”
“I’m right here.”
Sky spun toward the doorway to see Jared buttoning up a nice shirt.Her breath sputtered when she caught the way the fabric molded to the still-damp parts of his torso, showing the immense muscles that lay underneath.
“How much time do we have, Abby?”Jared asked.
“Ten minutes.”
“Come with me, Sky, that should give us enough time.”
“Enough time for what?”she asked when she came even with him.
Jared grasped her arm and started leading her toward the office.
“To talk.”
Sky pulled away from him when the door shut behind them.She walked across the room before she turned back to him.She swallowed back a gasp at the masculine man leaning against the door, preventing her from leaving if she chose to.
She gripped her hands together in front of her.“Wh-what did you want to talk to me about?”
Jared’s eyes narrowed on her as hunger ate at his insides.He crossed his arms.“What did you do today?”
“I-I moved my clothes into your room and organized them.”She swept her hand to indicate the stacks of books against one wall.“And started organizing your books.”
Jared nodded in satisfaction.“Did you have plenty of space in the closet for all your clothes?”
“Yes.”
“Come here.”
Sky swallowed as she moved in front of him.
Jared grasped her waist and pulled her closer.
“I want you to get used to the idea that tonight I will have you under me.”
Sky’s body jerked, and her eyes were wide with shock and anxiety.“Tonight?I thought you were going to give me a few days to get to know you?”
Frustration shifted over his face.“What else do you need to know about me?”
“I don’t know.But I’m not comfortable with you yet to allow you to...”She squealed and fluttered her hands at her sides.“You know.”
Jared’s hands tightened on her waist.“Answer me this, will you feel comfortable enough with me in say a week or even a month to have sex with me?”
Sky’s heart stuttered in her chest.“I don’t know,” she murmured.
