The fluttery sensation in her stomach jumped. Was it possible Trey felt the same connection she did? Kelly wouldn’t even attempt to deny a large part of the attraction was sexual, but there was something else, something that went deeper than the union of their bodies. Something she felt in her heart and soul that had kept Trey on her mind when time and miles had separated them. Even when she had cursed him for the circumstances she found herself in, she had ended up longing for what could have been between them.

Should she listen to her head or grab on with both hands to what he offered? Not only a father for TJ, but maybe the love she had dreamed of. Or was this just another dream—a fantasy?

“What if this thing between us doesn’t work out? What about TJ?”

“And what if it does, Kelly? Can you walk away without giving us a chance? Not only for TJ, but for us?”

Damn him for laying the monkey on her back.

Kelly pondered for only a moment, knowing her answer was no. She couldn’t pass up the opportunity for TJ to have a real family—both his mother and father. And she didn’t want to let this man go.

He stared into her eyes expectantly, waiting for a response.

“No,” she said softy. “I’ll try for TJ’s sake.”

Trey flinched as if she’d slapped him, his arms falling from around her. “I won’t share my bed with a woman out of obligation. We both deserve more than that.” Without another word he walked away, taking his place on the floor and returning to wrapping presents.

“Trey?”

His intense glare rose, his jaw seesawing. “What?”

“That’s not exactly what I meant. It’s just—” Kelly pinched her lips together before starting over again. “You have to understand—” She hesitated, once more searching for the right words. “Every move, every decision I make affects TJ. Right now you and I have an amiable relationship, but if we become intimate and things don’t work out, what will it mean for our son? It doesn’t matter what I want or desire.”

Laying down his scissors, he bent a knee, placing his arm across it. “What do you want, Kelly? Not for TJ, but for yourself?”

“You,” she whispered. “From the first time I laid eyes on you.” The truth tumbled from her mouth before she could censor her words.

Pupils dilating, the heat in his eyes softened into a sultry gaze that played cat and mouse with her emotions. Her heart rate and breathing quickened. Slowly he got to his feet. For the briefest of moments, she felt the urgency to run, not sure whether into his arms or from him. As he closed the distance between them, she swallowed hard. It made her self-conscious, but once their eyes met she couldn’t look away.

“C’mere.” He stabbed his fingers through her hair to cup the nape of her neck and pulled her so close their bodies touched chest to chest and hips to hips.

Kelly pressed her palms against his chest.
