Chapter Twelve

Melina did her best to ignore Luc the next day. It wasn’t that the nightmare had left her frightened. Strangely enough, it had left her more comforted than she had ever been after such an episode. No, she was avoiding Luc because that single act of comfort had suddenly shifted the balance of her emotions. What had been simple lust, a desire for that tough-as-hell body, was turning into something she didn’t understand, something deeper, something more intense. Something that was almost frightening.

He had held her through the night. His arms, so muscular, strong and warm. God, he was so warm.

She paused as she loaded the washer with dusty jeans and closed her eyes at the thought of it, remembering the feel of him holding her. A shudder raced down her spine. Like live bands of flexible steel, his arms had surrounded her, wrapping around her and holding her close to his chest.

And his chest… She sighed. She was a lost cause. One of those silly, insipid females who caved for lust. She stuffed his jeans into the washer as she grimaced at the very idea of it. It was bad enough she had been a doormat for her family her entire life, but this was ridiculous. She despised women who caved so damned easily.

“But it’s just for a little while,” she muttered to herself as she stared into the depths of the washer as though it could actually hold answers.

He would realize his mistake soon. Luc wasn’t a stupid man, just a determined man. And when he did realize what he had done he would pack her up and take her back to her empty apartment and her empty life.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t find a lover, if she wanted one. It was, unfortunately, a matter of having only wanted one man. Luc. Silly wimp, she berated herself. Take one 77

look at six feet plus of hot cowboy and what do you do? Goodbye, common sense; hello, hormones.

She slammed the washer lid closed.

“I am not this insane,” she mumbled to herself. “God, I have to have more self-control than this.”

“I don’t know, Cat. If you start answering yourself, though, I’d worry if I were you.”

Melina swung around, her eyes widening in mortification, her body flushing in embarrassment as she stared back at the object of her insanity.

Luc leaned casually against the doorframe to the washroom, his gray eyes glinting with amusement, a smile quirking those eat-’em-up lips. That full lower lip was as tempting as chocolate and she knew his kiss was anything but sweet. It was hot and wild and mind destroying and she wanted to feast on it.

“I thought you were outside,” she snapped, turning quickly away from him to check the clothes in the dryer before turning it on with a quick flip of the switch.

“I was.” She could hear the shrug in his voice.

A second later she heard him move closer. She tensed, though her pussy began to weep in serious distress. That particular part of her body was not pleased with her reticence in jumping his bones.
