* * *

Brooke was finally back in Bad. Thank God. Sabrina didn’t think she could handle being at Marc’s for another minute. Not after that kiss behind the bar at Brews. Damn that guy could kiss.

She slammed the top dresser drawer in Brooke’s guest room.

She hadn’t seen her best friend yet and if she’d ever needed girl talk it was now. But Brooke was finally back from New Orleans and had called Sabrina as soon as she was back in town. She still had to spend a few hours at the clinic, but Luke had a spare key to her house and seemed more than willing to help move Sabrina out of Marc’s.

She thought about that as she hung her clothes. Luke seemed to sense something between her and Marc.

But how was she going to explain the fact that she and Marc didn’t hate each other anymore? She didn’t think he’d seen them kissing but Luke knew them both. She’d never been able to hide her emotions from Luke. He would be able to tell if something was going on. And she’d never be able to lie if he asked.

But what would she say? That she felt like ripping Marc’s clothes off when he looked at her a certain way? That she felt like ripping her own off when he touched her? That she had never felt like she did when he kissed her—not even singing on stage. That had always been the ultimate rush. Until now.

That was where she got tripped up.

There had never been anything like performing for her. It had been like a drug, giving her a high she craved over and over again.

Alcohol had never done it.

Danger—motorcycle racing, skydiving and the like—had never done it.

Sex had never done it. Falling in love had never done it.

But kissing Marc Sterling did it.

Thank goodness she wasn’t stupid.

Marc might make her feel amazing physically. But he wasn’t stepping up with an offer like Luke’s. That was what she needed. A roommate. A friend. Security, help, support, a male role model for her baby. That was all more important, more responsible, less selfish than going for the rush. The rush Marc provided. And the rush her music provided.

She could have a fling with Marc, she supposed, but that wouldn’t be anything long term. Anything real.

She definitely had to start thinking about real stuff now. Like who would be there to take her to the hospital when she went into labor? Who would help her when the baby had a fever? Who would take care of the baby if she was sick?

She could do it by herself, but why would she when her best friend wanted to help?

And Luke could still date. She’d be fine with that. They were friends. They’d be great roommates.

And he’d definitely keep her dad at bay.

Marc was just a guy responding to the chemistry between them. They’d been flirting, he’d leaned in, she’d turned her head, and he went with it. And why not? They were both single and obviously in the mood.
