God, I think Iaze collided with Tanner’s I sucked in an unsteady breath Kyler was talking to hi attention at all So noanted to eyeball ht to do so What the fuck ever I looked away and I finished off as left in my bottle

I did not want to think about him I did not want to think about hoonderful it had been the few fucking hours that I’d had him And I sure as hell did not want to think about ho nice it had been to just talk with hiht went beyond sex And I really, super-duper did not want to think about how pathetic he must believe I was, because here I was, in love with hi down the days until ould leave Not that I’d told him that I loved him Thank God Anyway, I didn’t want to think about any of that

"So what are you guys doin’ torinned, because I was positive I didn’t slur ed dainty shoulders "I don’t know What’s on the schedule, Kyler?"

"Spending all day in bed," he replied

I laughed--loudly

She pursed her lips "Yeah No"

He pouted, and I adood with a pout A man pout Ha "Whatever you want to do, Syd I’m at your service," he added

A grin crossed her face "I like the way that sounds" Looking at oing to try to go hiking again to There was this lake we came across It would be perfect You’re ain and just as loudly as the first ti to skip, too," Kyler replied blithely

Tanner shot him a look that should’ve knocked him flat on his ass, but Kyler chuckled as he tossed his bottle in the trashcan on the deck

I could feel Syd’s gaze on ained faded as the htened She had been trying to get one down between Tanner and , butabout any of that while I was still stuck in this stupid cabin and I was likely to lose my shit "He can do whatever he wants," I announced

Tanner’s arms folded across his chest and his biceps stretched the sleeves of his shirt in a way that should’ve been indecent "Thanks, Andy, for re everyone that I can do what I want"

I snorted "You’re welcome That’s what I’m here for"

"To point out the obvious?" he replied

"Oh dear," Syd ed at aze on Tanner’s handsome face Now this I could deal with The smartass Tanner That ho I was fa Tanner who made me think that I was different--that ere different--before painfully re was any different "Well, if I don’t do it, ill?"

Tanner arched a brow "No one else?"

I shrugged a shoulder "Whatever I’lanced at Kyler "Want one while I’m up?"

He opened his mouth, but I saw his eyes shoot to where Syd sat "No Thank you"
