He turned and stared at the connecting door. Should he check on Piper?
“Are you okay?”
It was a stupid statement, but he didn’t know what else to say, because, good grief, she looked sexy in that short T-shirt and the skimpy shorts.
She nodded, but her pale face told him that she’d either just come out of a deep sleep or she was scared.
Another thunder broke the silence and Piper jerked. He reached for her arm to gently pull her in.
“Would you mind staying until this is over?” she murmured into his chest.
Jon moved his hand up to her shoulder, holding her a little tighter, and placed his lips to her forehead. “Let’s get you save.” With a soft nudge he moved her back into her room. “It’ll pass. It’s all bark and no bite.”
“My dad always said that. And he lied.”
Intriguing remark from her, about her Dad lying when it came to storms. Enjoyed the snippet – I like these two characters!
