Chapter 45

Kara

Every part of my body hurts after the shift we just pulled. It was worth it though, one of the biggest profit days we've had since I opened the truck. Pulling into Abel's driveway, I'm so excited I don't have to go home to an empty house. Reaching into the back seat, I grab my bag, and get out of my SUV. Before I can make it to the back porch, Abel is already standing there.

"You look exhausted."

"I am," I admit. "In a good way though, and I'm not working tomorrow, so that's the only thing that got me through tonight."

"C'mon in. I'll draw you a bath."

He gathers me up in his arms, lifting me like I weigh nothing, and takes me to his bathroom. Within minutes, he's got the water running, and me out of my clothing. I'm sitting on the edge of the tub, with my feet inside. The warm water is already making them feel better, and less tired.
