Chapter Twenty

Tyler listened to her describe how she’d been betrayed. No wonder she wanted to keep everyone at arm’s length. That kind of betrayal… He couldn’t imagine doing that to a woman. Especially one as amazing as her. And to do it to two of them? Repulsive. He’d never understood men who had affairs. Any remaining jealousy of the man he’d seen in the park fled. She was crushed that she’d been the other woman. The other guy couldn’t be anything but a friend. The knowledge made him smirk. She was all his. At least for the next two days.

“How could I not have known? How could I have been so stupid?” Her voice had become very soft, small, and filled with shame and unshed tears. He could hear them, just contained beneath her words.

“Because you trusted someone. He just happened to be a prick. It was in no way your fault.” He had to help her feel better about this. Had to make her realize she shouldn’t blame herself for some idiot’s wrongdoing. She felt bad for doing something she hadn’t known she’d done.

She laughed against him, and her shoulders relaxed as she held him around the waist. Finally he could breathe again. He bent over and hooked his arm beneath her knees, picking her up in one fluid motion.

“Just because he was such an ass doesn’t mean we all are.”

Something unreadable passed in her big, dark brown eyes. Maybe just the vestiges of unshed tears. But she blinked, and it disappeared. He dipped his head to hers and kissed her, showing her with lips and tongue that he wasn’t to be included in that asshole category. He wouldn’t squander the moment after she shared so much with him.

He carried her into the bedroom of the suite and set her down on the bright white blanket. She smiled up at him, all the sadness gone from her eyes. It had been replaced by softness touched with heat. She would be ready for him if he climbed into the bed beside her; he had no doubt. But he wanted more than that. He wanted her to know he didn’t think she’d been stupid. That even though she didn’t know him, she could trust him. No wonder she’d had such a look on her face when he’d asked her if she was married.

The cream silk robe she wore looked beautiful against her dark skin. The color set off her complexion perfectly. Like a dash of milk added to already creamy chocolate. She raised her eyebrows at his blatant staring.

“Sorry, just admiring the view.”

“Yeah, me too,” she said.

He chuckled and bent down to untie the silk sash of her robe. He pushed it open with slow tenderness and showed her just how much he appreciated the view. He aimed to let her know that she was worth more than being someone’s mistress, that it didn’t make her dirty, and that there was no shame in trusting the wrong person. He took things slow, touching, petting, loving.
