v Frasers fingers slowly traced along her waist , making Summers body involuntarily soften .

She quickly made up a lie .

Its not that … Yvette said shes scared of thunder and asked me to keep her company .

Really ? I thought your best friend wasnt afraid of anything Ill go home tomorrow .

Alright then .

Get some rest tonight After hanging up , Frasers lips curved into a smile .

So well behaved ? Makes me want to really spoil you … what should I do about that ? Summer looked down .

Ive got my follow up appointment tomorrow .

Fraser let out a low chuckle .

Right … so its only because of the checkup that youre staying .

At Ravenshire Boulevard , the storm outside was in full force .

Rain streaked down the massive windows , and dark clouds churned like ink in the sky .

Lightning split the night in two with every strike .

Summer stood in front of the floor to ceiling windows , arms folded , quietly watching the storm unfold .

Fraser walked up behind her without a sound and wrapped his arms around her , resting his chin .

on her head .

You said youre afraid of thunder .

So why are you watching it ? Summer blinked , trying to wiggle out of the too intimate embrace , but his arms held her firmly in place .

After a pause , she said , Actually … Im not afraid of thunder .

I lied that night .

Oh ? I just wanted you to stay with me .

Fraser immediately thought of the message hed missed that night .

Im sorry I wasnt there .

He scooped her up and carried her to the couch , settling her on his lap .

His dark eyes locked onto Hers , silent and intense .

Under that invasive gaze , Summers ears began to flush with heat .

She was just about to stand when she felt a cool sensation around her wrist .

She Innked down Fraser lifted her chin , gently but firmly .

Summer , I know you dont believe I really like you .

Thats fine .

This time , well take it slow .

Ill wait .

Wait for you to fall in love with me .

Summer stared into his eyes .

They were deep , still , like a whirlpool pulling her in .

Eyes that seemed to say : just trust me one more time .

Later , Frasers phone rang .

He went to the study to join a video call .

Summer went to shower .

Soaking in the bath for a while helped ease the exhaustion in her body .

By the time she came out , he had finished the meeting .

She picked up a magazine in the living room , then returned to the guest room as usual .

Fraser stood by the kitchen counter , drinking from a glass .

The way his Adams apple moved as he swallowed was oddly alluring in the storms silence .

His dark eyes didnt leave Summer for even a second .

That gaze was as heavy and consuming as the storm outside .

Summer bit her lip .

Im going to bed .

His deep , magnetic voice followed : Mm .

With his intense stare burning into her back , Summer turned and slowly walked toward the guest room .

Even without looking , she could feel the heat of his gaze trailing her .

Her movements grew clumsy She opened the door , stepped inside , and glanced back .

Goodnight .

Fraser didnt move .

His black eyes were locked on her , impossibly deep , watching her disappear into the room .

Click On the other side of the door , Fraser stared at the wood for a beat , then gave a faint laugh .

Little coward .

Midnight .

Thunder rolled across the sky in deep rumbles .

The storm outside seemed determined to shake the world apart .

The noise woke Summer .

Her throat was dry , so she got up to grab a glass of water .

She stepped into the darkened living room .

Not bothering to turn on the light , she used the faint glow from the storm lit windows to find her way to the kitchen and poured a full glass .

After drinking it in one long gulp , the restlessness stirred up by the thunder finally began to settle .

She turned to head back to her room ..

But just as she opened the guest room door- Strong arms suddenly wrapped around her from behind and lifted her off the ground .

The next second , she was pinned gently but firmly against the door .

Mmm- Summer let out a muffled cry .

Fraser pressed against her , his lips catching hers and swallowing the sound whole .
