Alice
The night after Ryker and I returned home was a blur.
My body was aching with exhaustion but my mind was still racing with everything that had happened between us.
I had barely settled into bed when the feeling of his hands on my coat, helping me as I put it on, guided me through every small movement. It kept replaying in my mind.
His gentle touch, even the way he opened the car door for me, and how he always made sure I was taken care of… I never got tired of it.
It felt like I was wrapped in his protection like I didn’t have to worry about a single thing in the world.
But then there was Zerah.
She’d been gone for years, but now she was back. And for some reason, that felt like a major threat to everything I had with Ryker. I knew he’d do whatever it took to protect me,
