Chapter 12

His skin was soft and thick, his fingers wrapped tightly around hers. His head hung low, and she felt a tug at her heart for him. Maybe he didn’t deserve her sympathy, but she had been wrong to judge him and assume that he had had a privileged upbringing. She felt guilty for that.

“They loved you, though. Right?”

“Yes, they were always very loving. The little time that we had together, they made every effort to make me happy, but we were always broke. The pantry was always half empty, the milk always a day away from being poured out, the lights getting turned off every other month. There was love, but that’s pretty much all we had.”

“But they loved you,” was all she could say.

George knit his brows together. “Yes, they did.”

“I only mean, well, it’s just that, having come from parents who rarely showed affection, if at all, I know that I would much rather have had their love than the material things.” She paused, testing George’s reaction in hopes that he would understand. “We had everything we needed and wanted and then some, but the love wasn’t there. I would have, and still would do anything, to have that love.”

He gave her hand a squeeze, his fingers sending a spark down her spine. She wasn’t sure what the little shock wave meant, but she didn’t want to let go of his fingers because of it. She wanted to feel it again. Even with Eric, in their years together and all the time she had thought that she had been in love with him, she’d never felt a bolt of electricity with him.

Yet here, with George Clark, she had felt that much desired spark. But had George felt it as well? She looked up, over the rim of her glasses, and saw that he was watching her as well. His eyes were intense and dark in the shadow, but she could see that they were directed right at her.

Her heart pounded in her ears, her breath catching in her chest. Had he always been so attractive or had she ignored the fact that he was simply because of her opinion of him? She could see what other women were attracted to, but as he moved in, brushing her hair from her face, all she could think about was all those women and how she refused to be one of them.

Brea gently backed away before he could kiss her. “I’m sorry, but I can’t.”

He didn’t seem offended as he pulled back from her, shrugging his shoulders. “That’s okay,” he laughed lightly. Even though he seemed to brush it off, she got the feeling that there was more to it than that.

She wanted him to kiss her. She wanted to feel his arms wrapped around her. She was amazed at her own desire for him, but it was there and she couldn’t deny it. But she wasn’t going to just be another woman. Not for George, not for any man. “I’m sorry.
