Right.As though I could be under the same roof with that woman and not be tempted to crawl into her bed with her.Hell, I'd wanted her for so damn long I wasn’t sure I'd be able to handle having a single wall separating us.It was hard enough with a locked door.
“Y’all can go,” Reagan shouted as she turned toward the hallway that led to her safe.“I’ll be done in a minute.”
Amy joined us and Wolfe met my gaze.I nodded once, letting my cousin know I was good.I would wait for Reagan as I had every damn night.I had nowhere else to be anyway.
“See ya later then,” Wolfe told me, throwing his arm over Amy’s shoulder.“Be good.”
I smirked.“I’ll try.”
Rhys shot me a look, which had me laughing out loud.“Don’t worry about your sister.She can hold her own.”
That didn’t seem to settle the sheriff down any.If Amy hadn’t taken his hand and tugged him toward the door, I suspected Rhys would’ve given me some sort of warning.I figured it would be coming sooner or later and I welcomed it.
When Reagan appeared again, her eyes shot to me instantly.“You really don’t have to wait for me.”
“I don’thaveto,” I said, just as I did every time.“Iwantto.”
She rolled her eyes and grabbed her keys from beneath the bar.“You’re such a pain in the ass.”
“But you like me,” I countered, following her to the door and opening it for her.
“Not really.Itolerateyou.”
Right.
I stepped out of the way while she locked the door.When she started down the steps to the gravel parking lot, I followed.
“Lynx, seriously.I’m a big girl.I can take care of myself.”
She could, I knew.
“Why’re you doin’ this?”she asked, spinning around to face me.“I’m not gonna go out with you.Not now, not ever.”
For whatever reason, she sounded as though she had to force herself to say those words.And that only amused me.
When I didn’t say anything, she spun around and headed toward her truck.
I followed again.
“You’re like a damn puppy,” she grumbled.“I’m not interested, Lynx.”
I opened her door for her.
Reagan sighed heavily.“You just don’t quit, do you?”
“Not when it comes to you, no,” I admitted, meeting and holding her stare.
“Is your divorce final yet?”
I shook my head.“Couple more days.”The fucking waiting period was almost over.For all intents and purposes, I was divorced.In fact, I didn’t even talk to Tammy anymore.Thank God for that.
As I expected, Reagan started shaking her head instantly, yanking the door shut.
I tapped on the window and waited for it to lower.When it did, Reagan sighed.
“What do you want?”she asked, her frustration evident.“I already told you?—”
Before she could lecture me about the divorce, I held up a hand.“Meet me at the diner for breakfast tomorrow.”
