dating, and I know that you’re worried about having a relationship with a guy who’s so much younger than you, and who lives so far away. But, despite all of that, you’re still here with me right now.”

He leaned down and kissed her. “When I came to Chicago for my birthday, I never expected to leave with a gift as priceless as you. So, thank you for giving me a chance…for giving us a chance.”

Chapter Ten

Rylee woke to the distant sounds of barking. She rolled over, more than a little disoriented, and tried to figure out how in the hell dogs got into the hotel.

She opened her eyes and looked around at a room that was definitely not part of the hotel. She sat up as memories of the previous night came back to her. She and Nick had talked for a long time about their relationship before spending the next several hours celebrating in bed and then drifting off to sleep.

Nick woke her a few hours later and told her he had to head back home. The

disappointment she’d felt about him leaving was quickly replaced with excitement when he’d asked her to spend the weekend with him in Wisconsin.

Now, here she was in his house, in his room, in his bed, feeling happier than she would ever have imagined at being able to spend the next couple of days with him.

She stretched and glanced at the clock on the table. It was just after nine o’clock in the morning. Nick wouldn’t finish up with work for another hour, so she still had a little time to kill. Rylee climbed out of bed and went in search of the bathroom. She walked out of the bedroom and was surprised by the sight of him, bent over with his back to her, as he searched through the refrigerator.

She couldn’t help smiling as she stood there, admiring the view of his ass, looking so good in his jeans. Quietly, she tiptoed over to him.

“Hey, sexy.” She wrapped her arms around his waist, and one hand slid down and cupped him through his pants. “I missed you.”

“What the fuck?!” He jerked, rising suddenly, and banged his head against the top of the refrigerator. “Shit!” he yelled and stumbled backward. Rylee gave a startled screech as she tried to move out of his way. He spun around, and the glare on his face quickly turned to shock. They stood there and stared at each other, both of them speechless for a moment, before he finally spoke.

“Uh…hi. You’re Rylee, right?”

“Yeah…I am. How are you, Noah?” Rylee said, feeling mortified and embarrassed that she’d just felt up her boyfriend’s brother.

Nick waved at the car as it drove away, breathing a sigh of relief that his clients were finally leaving, and he was free for the rest of the weekend. He’d barely been able to concentrate on work because his mind was too occupied with seeing Rylee.

After last night, the last thing he wanted to do was leave her again. But his clients wanted to purchase their dog today, so he knew he didn’t have a choice.

When he’d asked Rylee to come with him, he hadn’t expected her to say yes. And now that she was actually here, waiting for him in his bed, he couldn’t get back to her fast enough. The sounds of laughter and the smell of food greeted him when he walked into the house. The sight of Rylee, sitting at the counter in the kitchen, watching Noah cook breakfast, made him pause and blink. He’d never seen Noah cook for a woman before.

Noah looked up. “Hey, Nick. How’d the appointment go?”

“Good.” His eyes were on Rylee, who turned around and smiled when she saw him. He walked over, put his arms around her, and gave her a lingering kiss on the lips. He looked at Noah over her head.

“They bought Pike,” he continued. “I told them that in a few weeks we’d arrange for some additional in-house security training at their place, once Pike had a chance to get acclimated to his new home.”

“Good deal.” Noah smiled, looking between him and Rylee. “You’re just in time. Rylee and I were getting ready to have breakfast. There’s enough here for you, if you’re hungry.”

He filled a plate with eggs, bacon, and toast, and placed it in front of Rylee.

“So I see.” Nick couldn’t hide the smirk on his face. “Since when did you learn to cook?”

“Hey! Comments like that will get your breakfast fed to the dogs,” Noah warned.

“Better them than me,” he whispered loudly in Rylee’s ear, and she started laughing.

“See, now you’re gonna have Rylee worried about my cooking skills.”

“What cooking skills?” His laughter joined Rylee’s.

“Smartass,” Noah grumbled, and set a plate down in front of him. “Just shut up and eat before you damage my reputation any further with Rylee.”

They spent the next half hour eating and talking before Rylee finally excused herself and went into the bedroom.

“So,” Noah began, “I guess I know why you’ve been so distracted for the past few weeks.” Nick sighed, and looked into familiar hazel eyes. “Yeah…she is.” He didn’t even bother to try and deny it.

“I take it you’ve been seeing her since we left Chicago.”

Nick shook his head. “Actually, this is the first time we’ve been together since my birthday.” At Noah’s raised brow, he continued. “Our schedules were too tight for either of us to get away, but we’ve spent more than our fair share of time on the phone these past few weeks.”

He grinned at Noah. “Our phone bill for this month is going to be a fucking fortune.”

Noah chuckled and shook his head. “I guess I might as well get used to it, because I suspect it isn’t going to get any better anytime soon.”

“Listen, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner that I was going to bring Rylee here. I took the Chicago job because
