He took a step toward me. “I’m not going to hurt you, Stripes.”

Of that, I wasn’t certain. Jude looked like a road straight to pain.

He fisted the front of my shirt and pulled me against him, wrapping his arms around me.

“This isn’t fair. You know I’m a sucker for snuggling,” I said. And then I laid my head on his shoulder to demonstrate the kind of sucker I truly was.

His hold on me was fleeting. Warm, tattooed arms circled me long enough to be comfortable, then they were gone, and he was heading toward my door.

He paused at my doorframe, beaded curtain noisily protesting his presence. Hazel eyes raked over me, touching me like he always did. Then he slapped the wall twice and gave me a quick nod. “Until next time.”

My hand drifted to my mouth, a place he hadn’t touched, feeling the ghost of him there. “See you, rock star.”
