BEFORE THAT NIGHT
Before that night, Addison
Milan had been just a college dropout secretly raising her two young siblings
in a beat-up minivan she'd bought with her first semester's tuition refund--the
only money her addict mother hadn't taken off with when she'd abandoned them
nearly two years ago.
Before that night, Caine
Spencer had been just a rough, gruff cop sent to check out the phoned-in claims
of suspected child neglect involving the same woman he'd met just months prior
when she'd first served him the city's worst diner coffee...which he'd been
drinking daily ever since.
Before that night, Addison
would never have thought the man she'd been fighting hard not to fall for--her
only friend in her new shadow of a life--would be in a position to rip her
family apart.
Before that night, Caine
would never have believed any woman could make him fall head over heels, let
alone make him feel so damn compelled to look the other way when it came to his
job.
Then that one perfect
night changed everything.
EVERY NIGHT WITHOUT YOU
Seven years.
Seven damn years of wondering whether the
woman was still alive...whether she'd spent the last two thousand five hundred
fifty-five days wondering if he was still alive.
Wondering whether that
night was as burned into her memory as it was his.
Seven years having his
heart tethered to Addison―and now she's back. With even more reasons to run
than she'd had then.
Only this time, Caine
isn't letting the gorgeous little flight risk out of his sight.
Regardless of how noble
her reasons may be.
Caine stopped with
his hand on the doorknob and studied her for a bit, with those deep, stormy
eyes of his that always saw too much, read her too well. Then, he quietly pushed open the door to the
darkened room and walked in.
But he made no move
to flick on the light switch.
Instead, he simply
stood there, just inside the doorway, holding the door open for her silently,
waiting for her to decide if she wanted to go into the pitch-blackness with
him.
Addison knew the
choice to step over that threshold, into the unknown, was symbolic of so much
more than what he was asking in that moment…a fact she was certain hadn’t
escaped him.
He didn’t back
down. But he didn’t push, either.
“Alec thinks there’s
no way you and I can be friends,” she whispered, in a feeble attempt to keep
them away from a ledge they’d be tempted to jump off of, where there would be
no coming back from. “This is sort of an experiment he’s
conducting to prove his hypothesis.”
“Did I mention I
hated that ‘just friends’ idea from the start?”
Yeah. Her too.
“You want to know
what I was thinking about when you suggested it?” he continued, reaching up to
put his forearm against the door jamb, crowding the opening with his broad,
six-foot frame.
She shouldn’t. No good could possibly come from being
allowed inside Caine Spencer’s head. “Yes.”
The gravelly rumble
of his voice turned hypnotic. “I was
remembering how those soft, sexy sounds you’d make when I’d kiss you on your
neck—right where that new tattoo is—would test me, nearly break me of my
control every time.”
When his eyes began
tracing intently over the lines of her tattoo, the air in her lungs thinned,
and slipped past her lips before she could stop it.
His jaw tightened,
and his forearms flexed. Once. Twice. Before his voice dropped a full octave
lower. “A test. Every. Single. Time.”
Oh God, she wasn’t
going to make it.
He took a step back.
She followed him in.
