Chapter Seven

They arrived at Michael’s house an hour later. Cat stopped just inside the doorway. Moonlight streaming in through the windows gently illuminated the darkened space. Memories flooded her mind. She’d lost count how many times she made love to this man within these walls.

Now, as she stood on the small rug in the foyer, she became acutely aware of the man as he stepped in beside her. He closed the door behind him, set her small suitcase to the side, and flipped a light switch. Neither said anything for a long moment. Tension—fine and sweet and aching—rose between them. Pulled by the power of his presence, she glanced over at him. He watched her with those liquid eyes, soft and concerned yet filled with a palpable hunger that made her shiver with the power of his gaze.

“You can have the bed upstairs.” His expression remained blank and hard to read. “I’ll take the couch.”

She turned her head, eyeing the black, overstuffed leather couch he indicated. The safest alternative at the moment. “I hate to take your bed. The couch doesn’t look very comfortable.”

“You suggesting we share the bed?” The distinct hint of teasing in his voice made her turn to look to at him. Mischief gleamed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitching as he held back a grin.

Perhaps it was his attempt at lightening the tense moment—and his bad boy side for sure—but the thought sent a sweet ache rolling through her belly. Those eyes told her she wasn’t the only one affected by her presence in his house. They dared her to step forward, to press herself against him and seize his mouth. She had to admit this protective streak of his made him incredibly sexy.

After a moment, an uneasy grin quirked up one side of his mouth and he hitched a shoulder. “Sorry. My lousy attempt to break the ice. You look as nervous as I feel.”

She twisted her hands together. “You’re right, you know.”

“About what?”

She caught his gaze. “I do feel safer with you. That’s what scares me about you. How easy it is to be with you.”

Heat flared in the dark pools, an undisguised hunger that flooded desire through every inch of her. The need to hold and be held, to return to that night, making love wherever and whenever the mood struck. Free to give in to their bodies’ desires. Nick had been her first love, but she couldn’t recall ever wanting him the way she wanted Michael. It was a hunger she couldn’t seem to slake.

She gave a miserable shake of her head. “You said it yourself, Michael. Eventually you’re leaving Crest Point, and I don’t do flings.”

Short-lived affairs weren’t her style. They were her mother’s, and she was not her mother.

He took a step toward her, settled his hands on her hips, and tugged her against him. Everything inside her sighed with relief.

“I wish I could say I don’t either, but it’s all I’ve got. The truth is, I haven’t had a real relationship in years.
