PRESENT
Lexi slipped inside Ramsey’s town house, carefully positioning herself where he couldn’t get a look at her back. She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and winced at the extreme tenderness. Ramsey glanced in her direction, and she instantly moved to cover her throat with her hair. No need for him to ask questions. It would really just be an unnecessary hassle. And, in either case, it wasn’t something she could explain.
She stood by the stairs and waited for him to go first. She followed behind closely, ducking into the guest bedroom where he stood against the doorframe.
“I’ll get you something to sleep in,” he told her,
“Uh…thanks.”
She liked the smile he was sending her way. It was very…sincere. He looked as if he genuinely did not want to be any place else in the world
