Excerpt
A large man who looked like he lifted boulders for a living
walked toward me, and as he lifted his head, there was no hiding the shock on
his face. He quickly lowered his head and crossed the street. His strange
reaction set me even more on edge, but my apartment was only fifty feet away,
so I just picked up my pace. I wish I had been paying attention because, what
if he were coming from my apartment? What if there were more of them there
waiting for me? I couldn’t go upstairs.
They’d found me. I just knew it.
Dammit.
I inhaled a few breaths to calm myself before an idea
ensued.
Caleb’s apartment complex was behind mine on the opposite
side of the street. Maybe I could go to his place because there was no way I
wouldn’t be freaking out all night on my own. Besides, if I went to his place,
it would be a distraction. Chills ran down my spine, and I looked behind me,
continuing my walk past my own apartment and to the coffee shop a block ahead.
I turned down the street next to the coffee shop and did a full circle, dialing
Caleb’s number when I was a few feet away from the entrance to his apartment.
My heart jolted as a voice came from behind. “Changed your
mind?”
Caleb?
I spun around, and he was smiling, a hood pulled over his
head and hands tucked into his pockets.
“Uh, um . . . were you following me? Why aren’t you inside
already? It’s been at least twenty minutes since you dropped me off. And where
did you come from?”
He grinned, removing his hands from his pockets and placing
them on my hips. Then he turned me toward the door. “There’s nothing wrong with
being careful, Paige, but you wouldn’t be standing here if you didn’t feel like
you could trust me.”
As he passed a hand around me to shove a key into the lock,
I knew he could be right, but I shouldn’t trust him. My mind wandered as I
tried to push aside the heat radiating from his front onto my back.
“If I had known you were following me, I wouldn’t be here.”
“There’s also nothing wrong with a guy making sure the girl
he likes gets home safe.”
His other hand slid away from my hip, and I noticed its
absence right away. I liked his touch. It was comforting, and I wanted him to
keep touching me, keep consoling me.
He stepped inside, raised his eyebrows, and held the door
open. “It’s up to you.”
