Page 115 of Moon's Promise

“Do you have to work in the morning?”

“I do.”

She felt bad Moon was going to have to drive her to Jamestown then drive back.

“Sex Piston’s parents go to bed early. I don’t want to wake them. You could drive me to the hotel, and I can sleep with one of my sisters. That will save you the drive.”

“Or you could take one of the bedrooms upstairs. I have a few clothes here. I could lend you a shirt to sleep in.”

“I can go to the hotel.”

“Why? You’ll just wake them up. It makes more sense to stay here. My motorcycle is in the garage. I’ll leave my car keys so you can drive to Jamestown tomorrow to get your things.”

What Moon was suggesting sounded sensible, but she still hesitated to accept his offer. “I don’t know …”

Moon arched a brow at her. “Worried I’ll sneak into your room?”

Larissa lowered her lashes half-mast. “Jerk.”

He chuckled. “Come on. Don’t overthink it and just accept. You know it’s the better option.”

“Okay, I’ll spend the night,” she reluctantly agreed.

“Don’t sound so excited,” he remarked drily.

“I’m sorry to sound unappreciative. It’s just … this takes a little getting used to.”

Moon gave her a confused frown. “What does?”

“You being so nice and thoughtful.”

“I can be nice and thoughtful, especially when it involves me not having to drive to Jamestown again. You’re actually doing me another favor. I was dreading the drive.”

“Then I’m glad to help.”

“All right, then I guess the next step is you picking out the room you want to sleep in while I lock the doors and grab you a shirt.”

Leaving Moon downstairs, she went upstairs. She opened the spare bedrooms and chose the one with the ensuite bathroom. She checked the bathroom to see if there were towels before closing the door. She wanted to take a shower before going to sleep.

“Larissa?”

Larissa went to the doorway of the bathroom and found Moon walking through the bedroom door.

“I was just checking to see if you had towels. I see you already beat me to asking for them.” She moved further into the room to take the stack of towels and the T-shirt from him.

“I figured you would want to take a shower either tonight or in the morning.”

“Thank you. I thought I would take one before going to bed.”

“Is there anything else I can get for you?”

“No, this should be everything.”

“All right, then I’ll see you tomorrow. I’ll come by tomorrow after I get off work for the car. If you need anything, just text me.”

“I will. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Good night.”
