When She Needs Them Most

Chapter Eighteen

Chelsea

M y alarm goes off way earlier than I’m ready to face the day. The scary part is I set it for eight a.m. That’s later than I normally wake up, but I spent several hours last night trying to catch up on work. Rolling over, I slap around for my phone but freeze when my face hits bare skin.

Kase’s nutty, blueberry scent instantly comforts my system. Confusion comes about three seconds later. He wasn’t in bed with me when I fell asleep. As a matter of fact, I barely saw him after dinner. He sat on the couch with me and Arden, then disappeared upstairs. I didn’t see him again, and to combat the anxiety, I threw myself into work. I’m pretty sure he insinuated that it was his first time. He’s gorgeous, so my brain tried to find other explanations, such as maybe he meant his first time with a pregnant chick or a woman.
