It was dark, so dark. No artificial light anywhere. My senses were filled with his smell. His body against mine. My eyes blearily opened and I lifted my chin. Rylen’s cheek was beside my lips. His strong arms were beneath my back and under my knees. He was carrying me. All at once I remembered he was now married, and my entire body stiffened. I kicked my legs. Rylen stopped and leaned down so I could leap from his arms. I spun to face him, feeling irrationally angry. My whole body shook and in the moonlight I saw his eyes widen. He held his palms up. “It’s just me, Pepper.” “You didn’t have to . . . hold me,” I said. His face flashed through a series of surprise and agitation before he shook his head and said, “Well, I’m sorry, but I couldn’t wake you and I didn’t want to leave you in the truck all night. I won’t touch you again if it bothers you so much.” He put his hands up, pursing his lips. “Fine,” I said. “Fine,” he huffed back. I looked around at my dark yard, breathing hard, feeling a pang of upset at the blurry sight of the tree still laying across my car.
