She nodded and followed him.

Karma stood sentinel, watching out the front window. The shades were mostly closed, but Erica could see movement through the crack. “Is someone out there?”

Ryan peered through the slit. “A vehicle just turned the corner. I caught the taillight.”

“So, it was nothing.”

“No headlights.”

He didn’t need to say more. She stroked the dog’s head. “Good boy. You’re guarding the neighborhood.”

They returned to the bedroom. Ryan placed his gun on the nightstand and sat on the edge of the bed. He watched her… waiting.

Well, shit. She didn’t know what to do. Yes, you do. Get your ass back in the fine man’s bed.

Her shoulders fell. No matter how badly she wanted to jump into the sheets with Ryan, her brain was fully in control now. Yup, Karma, saved her from a big oops.

She gestured to the bed. “I didn’t plan on… that happening. I came in to wake you and check on your concussion.”

“Oh, I’m wide awake.” No doubt, judging by the still semi-hard woody he had in his underwear.

“Sorry.” The word was out, but she couldn’t say she was fully sorry for what happened. Even if it shouldn’t have.

“So, I’m guessing by the fact you’re staying in the doorway that we won’t be finishing your assessment of my… condition?”

She shook her head. “Not a good idea.”

He nodded and muttered a curse. “You’re probably right.”

The smiling faces of her sister mocked her as she scanned the room. “We better get some sleep. I’ll wake you in another couple hours and see how you are doing.”

She slipped from the room before he could reply. The fear of him tossing one of his charming schoolboy smiles at her that melted her panties was all too real.

Having a fully dressed Ryan Daniels in her house was bad enough, but a nearly naked Ryan was dangerous.
