CHAPTER 6

Slowly, Haley became aware of the pillow beneath her cheek. She snuggled deeper in the sheets, pulling the bed linens high against her shoulder. Only then did she realize Emma was tucked in close against her side; the grey cat started purring with enough energy that the entire mattress shook.

The entire mattress shook.

Haley’s eyes flew open. The sheets on the far side of the bed were tangled, and the pillow was dented. Adam had slept there. At least, he’d fallen asleep there. After she’d accosted him in the living room. After she’d dragooned him upstairs. After she’d had her wicked way with him, not once, not twice, but three separate times during the night.

But no matter how good it had felt, how right everything had seemed when they were in the middle of making love, she’d obviously screwed everything up between them. He’d high-tailed it out of her room before she’d even woken up. She glanced at her nightstand. Nope. No note. Despite Emma’s protest, Haley forced herself to sit up and survey the clothes strewn across the bedroom floor. Her strewn clothes. Not a hint of Adam’s formal dress anywhere to be found.

Crap.

Shoving down a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach, Haley forced herself to stand, to walk to the bathroom. She turned on the shower, full force. As she waited for the water to warm, she stared at herself in the mirror.

Her lips were swollen, tender to her light touch. That motion brought her arm near her nose, close enough that she could smell Adam, his soap, his piney aftershave.

What the hell had she done?

Thirty-two years of friendship out the window, because she couldn’t keep her hands to herself. Thirty-two years of easy camaraderie, of joking, of being just one of the guys—all gone because she’d felt horny. Because she’d felt sorry for herself, for Paws, for the future.

She knew better than to make a play for Adam Sartain. She’d known better when he sat behind her in fifth grade. She’d known better every day of high school. She’d known better for the past ten years, when she’d heard about every one of his exploits with the women who hung around training camp, who pushed their way into the bars when he had away games.

Shaking her head, she stepped beneath the needle spray of the shower.

Maybe it wasn’t a disaster. Maybe she and Adam could go back to the way things had always been. Sure, he hadn’t nudged her awake to repeat last night’s mistakes in the full light of day. He hadn’t left her a sonnet on the nightstand, not even a note. But they could pretend, couldn’t they? They could wind back the clock and make it be 24 hours ago, before she’d made an idiot out of herself.

As she scrubbed shampoo into her hair, though, Haley had to admit she didn’t want to wind back any stupid clock. She didn’t want to forget the rush of power she’d felt as she kissed Adam, as she stripped off his clothes.
