After he closed the shower door, she could finally close her mouth. She finished up, wiped her mouth, and hurried to the bed. After she pulled the blanket up to her chin, she watched the door to the bathroom.

The air caught her throat when he walked out with only one of her towels around his waist. It was one of the large ones that covered her whole midsection but barely made it around his lower body on him.

He turned off the light. “Scoot over. I want to be nearest the door.”

She moved over, and he slid in under the blanket.

“Um, are you going to sleep with just the towel?” she asked.

“No. The towel is on the floor. I’ll pick it up in the morning.”

It took her a moment to understand, and she gasped. “Y-you’re naked … in bed with me?”

He grinned and moved her around so her back was against his chest. “Go to sleep. Tomorrow’s going to be another long day. I’d kiss you, but I know it will get out of hand quickly.”

“Oh.”

He chuckled. “Good night, baby.”

“Good night … Daddy.”

She heard him inhale, and then he squeezed her.

“Do you have any idea what that does to me?”

She glanced over her shoulder and then shook her head.

He pressed his lips against her temple. “We’ll talk more about it later. I want you to get some sleep.”

She nodded and rolled back on her side.

The heat from his body and her sense of safety made her fall asleep within a minute. She’d never felt this kind of peace before in her life, and she hoped it would never go away.

She had no idea what time it was when Nate pulled away from her.

“Where are—”

He covered her mouth with his hand and whispered in her ear. “I’m going to check out something I heard. You stay quiet.”

She nodded. She saw him pull on the jeans he had lying on a chair by the bed, then pick up a gun that had been on the nightstand. It terrified her how big and lethal it looked. Seeing it in his hand made him seem totally different and made her see him in a whole new way. She just didn’t know if it was good or bad.

There was enough light coming in through the window she could see about everything. She watched him walk to the door and peek out before moving down the hallway.

Tessa listened for any sign of what was going on and almost screamed when a huge shade walked into the bedroom.

The air raced from her lungs when she saw it was Nate.

“Did you see anything?” she whispered.

“I thought it was someone trying to come into the house.”

Her stomach twisted. “Who?”

He set the gun on the nightstand, pulled off his jeans, and slid back into bed. “I’m not sure anyone was there. Don’t worry. It was probably just the wind. I know how to take care of you.”

Tessa turned on her side to face him. “Nate, I know that. I’ve never felt safer than when I’m with you.”

He lifted her hand and kissed her fingers. “You are so sweet. Let’s try to get some more sleep.”
