Chapter 16

Three days after sexus interuptus, Nate tried to force his eyeballs to focus on the screen in front of him. He really did. Problem was, every time he tried to focus over the last day, his mind wondered to Delilah. Why the hell was he even attempting to work? Because that’s what you’re here to do, not spend the entire day in bed with Delilah Donovan.

“Shit.” He dropped his head into his hands and tried to get his brain to get with the program. He rubbed his eyes. Hey guys, remember the work at hand?

But still, the lines of code in front of him ran together. The syntax might as well have been one long string of Greek gibberish as far as he was concerned tonight. Problem was, he’d been this way for three damn days. Ever since she’d run out of Prohibition like her hair was on fire.

Three damn days, and his blood still hummed in his veins and his skin still felt like a live wire had stroked it. “Damn it.”

His phone beckoned to him like a beacon. Maybe if he just called her to see how her day was, he’d be able to concentrate. They’d only exchanged brief texts during the last few days, as she had her hands full with the douche bag. She’d been pretty pissed that night after getting the Michael Ross call.

No, dumbass, you just want to call her. Hearing that husky voice would only set him up for a cold shower and a night of tossing and turning with wild, sex-crazed dreams. Shit. He hadn’t had one of those in nearly a decade. But a week and a half with her, and already he was a goner.

When he’d moved in with the Donovans, John Donovan had made it clear that there were some rules to be followed. First and foremost, Nate wasn’t to entertain any ideas about John’s stepdaughter. At the time, it hadn’t been a problem. Delilah had been all of fourteen, a kid. Never even entered Nate’s mind. Until the summer she turned sixteen and spent every day torturing him by running around the backyard pool in her bikini.

He’d loaded himself up on summer jobs and stayed the hell away from the pool just to make sure he didn’t have to see her growing curves in that barely-there bikini. But he’d never laid a hand on her. Not once. But the vision of her in that red bikini of hers had tormented him for years.

And first chance you got, you went and kissed her. Good luck sleeping tonight. Idiot.

Seven years later, and Delilah Donovan was still off limits and way out of his league. Someone like her would never pick someone like him for anything permanent. It didn’t matter if she wanted him. And she did want him. He'd still be that kid standing on the outside looking in on her and her perfect family.

But he’d take whatever time she gave him. So maybe forever was off the table with a woman like her, but maybe he could live the fantasy for a little while.
