Miss Haven. She wasn't prepared for the rush of fragmented memories that came from the name. Hands encompassing her waist like they were made to fill the space, plucking her from a chair like an unruly child. A near scolding tone telling her that she was an accident waiting to happen. Seemingly countless moments of almost kisses and hesitant touches suddenly bubbled to the forefront of her memory.
And he fit perfectly into all of them. Grey eyes and cocky half smiles filled the empty spaces in her mind. Rylan fought with herself. Did he fit because he belonged there or because she wanted him to? Could he explain why black coffee tasted like a good morning kiss or why Christmas carols made her sad? Rylan tilted her head down, pressing her cheek against his chest. There was a press of something hard beneath the fabric of his shirt, like a necklace.
Her eyes dropped to the ring he wore. A simple gold band. She didn't recall having a ring of her own. Well, she recalled having a lot of rings, but all of them could be attributed to a purchase or an inheritance. If they'd been married what had happened to her rings? Had they been taken? Or had she simply lost them along with her supposed memories of him.
“It doesn't bother me,” she replied, even though it should have. She had an inexplicable aversion to her birth name. From anyone else it caused her skin to crawl, her stomach to turn, but that didn't happen with him. Honestly, she liked the sound of her name on his lips.
The obvious question popped into her head as she leaned against him, listening to the sound of his pulse racing. Her ears swirled, the tufted ends brushing against his neck. “If you are my husband and we are married, why don't I remember you?”
