“That day I showed up to give you that coffee…he was there, and he seemed strangely hostile toward me. I’ve been trying to figure out why. I assume he knows I’m your ex, but even so, we haven’t had any contact for ten years. Why would he be that angry at me?”

I leaned back so I could catch his expression; his features were soft, careful…curious.

I licked my lips, trying to think of the right words to say, but I came up empty. There wasn’t any way in this entire world that I wanted to explain why Logan hated him so much; it would freak him out.

“How about I offer a deal?” I stepped back and brought my hands up in a pleading fashion.

Ryan quirked a brow.

“I’ll come sleep in that massive bed of yours if we can drop this topic.”

Ryan let out a laugh like he thought I was hilarious but sobered a few seconds later.

“You’re serious?”

“I am.”

His eyes moved back and forth over my face, trying to figure me out. My stomach pitched with raw emotion over how dangerous an idea this was, but the second Ryan gently nodded his head, I ignored it.

Turning on my heel, I walked toward my ex boyfriend’s bedroom, preparing my heart to sleep in the same bed with him.
