.He glanced up at her andshrugged. I have to keep track of wordsthat give me trouble.When I go to mycounseling sessions, we go over thewords.Most of the time I can see themand hear them in my brain perfectly,know what they mean, I just can t spit itout. Wow.Do the doctors know whynot?He shrugged and put his walletaway. Something got screwed up in mybrain. Shifting into gear, he pulled awayfrom he house.Ember stretched the seatbelt across her body and snicked it shut. Shannon is awesome.And John ishilarious.They suit each other verywell.Zeke shook his head, laughing. Theyhaven t been a c-couple very long.Johnwas a& n-not very happy guy a fewmonths ago, but Shannon has really ch-chilled him out. They just needed to find eachother. Apparently.The drive back to Ember s apartmentwas quiet and companionable.Zekeparked and carried Drew inside for her. They pulled his boots and jacket off,then she directed him to just lay the childin his bed.It was a little early forbedtime, but he was obviously worn out.Too many hours chasing Gray Cat.Ember thought they were just goingto relax, but when Zeke came out ofDrew s bedroom, he made his excusesand headed to the door.Ember was alittle hurt.They d just had a wonderfulafternoon, and she d been lookingforward to an even better evening, butapparently not.Zeke pressed a lingering kiss to herlips and backed through the doorway. I ll call you.Ember waved a hand, at a loss as towhat she d done to chase him off so fast. Well, I was pretty clingy.But then,he had been too.He d never let go of heruntil Chad had asked to talk.Maybe hejust had to regroup and figure somethings out.*****Shannon sighed happily as she crawledinto bed that night.The party had gonewonderfully.No stress, just a group offriends getting together to celebrate theholiday.John s wheels squeaked into theroom. Everything s locked up.Thatdamn cat was curled up in the hallwaycloset, underneath a coat.I wouldn thave known if I didn t see her tail sticking out. Probably recovering after all theexcitement, she laughed.Rolling uponto her side, she watched as heundressed. Ember s little boy carriedher around for hours.John nodded and rolled into thebathroom. What did you think of Ember? hecalled out. I think she was very nice.Calm andput together.It was her father who gaveher those bruises.John backed into the doorwayenough to see her. Are you serious?She nodded. She filed charges,though, and he s going to get thecounseling that he needs.He was a Marine in Vietnam.John scowled and disappeared intothe bathroom again.She heard waterrunning and splashing in the sink, and herbody began to warm.He would becrawling in beside her in a minute, andshe could do with him as she pleased.He rolled into the room and hoistedhimself up into the bed.Shannon hadoffered to get a lower bed when hemoved in, but he d refused.She wasglad, because it allowed her to watch theinterplay of his substantial six-packevery night as he came to her.She shifted over to give him room tostretch, then curled in against him withher hand over his belly.  Zeke will watch over her now.She nodded against him. Did yousee them looking at each other? It wasalmost electric.And she only had eyesfor him.John s long arm coasted down herside beneath the comforter. And helooked like he couldn t believe she waswith him.I think the big man has fallen. Hard, she whispered.Her handslipped down past his waist, but hestopped her. Hold on.I have one more gift foryou to open.Shannon peered up at his face in thedim light. You already got me too manythings. John snorted. I didn t get you shit.Just trinket things because I didn t knowwhat else to get you. But I loved them.You got myfavorite perfume, and I love the purse.She felt him reaching at the side ofthe bed.He pulled out a little foldedpacket and held it out to her.Shannon satup, crossing her legs, hooking thecomforter around her shoulders. Whatis it?He shoved it at her. Just open it.Shannon couldn t make sense ofwhat it was at first. Plane tickets?John rolled up onto his side,propping his head with his hand. To Cancun? she gasped.She reread the papers over again, unable tocontain a squeal. Are you serious? Abeach in the wintertime? Oh, John.She bumped her head on his hardchin when she pounced on him, but shedidn t care.He shifted to his back as shepeppered him with kisses and straddledhis hips. I guess you like the idea, huh? hechuckled beneath her.Shannon paused long enough to lookhim in the eyes. I love the idea.And Ilove you.More and more every day.Thank you.She rocked her hips against hislength and was rewarded when he wenthard beneath her. When do we leave?she whispered.  Uh, next week. Mm, just enough time, she gaspedas she guided him inside.*****Saturday Ember took Drew to Ms.Miller s house and headed into workearly.It was a busy day [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
