He didn’t notice anything or maybe he did and didn't seem it necessary to point out the male shoes by the door or even press over how good my pancakes are. Close call. I turn to clear the dishes, humming to distract myself from the thumping in my chest. “Are you done hiding me?” Ryder’s voice comes from behind, lazy and amused. I jump, nearly dropping a plate. “Jesus! You f*****g scared me.” He leans against the doorway, shirt still off, a towel slung over his shoulder like he just showered, “I take it that you guys settled.” I nod, turning back to the sink. “Yeah.” “And he doesn’t know you’ve got company?” I glance at him through the corner of my eye. “Nope.” Ryder
