CHAPTER TEN

His hands were magic on her body. Clare sighed as he kneaded her breasts, kissed the swell of each one, closed his mouth over a nipple.

“Ahh,” she moaned, clasping his head to keep him where he was. His soft hair curled at his neck, and she weaved her fingers through it.

“I knew you’d like this.”

Again, she moaned.

He slid his palm down her rib cage, over her stomach, and cupped her. His mouth followed the trail.

“Oh, oh, Brady.”

Clare awoke with a start. Disoriented, she glanced around the room and checked the other side of the bed. The covers were jumbled and a pillow lay on the floor, but she was alone. Her heart racing, her body taut she realized she was seriously aroused.

“Hell!” she murmured, lying back on the pillow and pushing her hair out of her face. The fan whirred above her and she watched the white blades go round. “What was that all about?”

You know, Clare. Be honest with yourself.

All right she did know the answer to her question. Over the past week, she’d spent all her time with Brady, both at the hospital and one night back at the condo when he’d slept in her bed with her, though they were both fully clothed. Even in the three days since Lillian had come home, and Brady had been staying at his mom’s, Clare had gone over during the day. She kept him company, cooked for them both and froze food for later. She entertained Lillian by asking for stories about the recipes, so Brady could take a break or run errands.

All the while, something had grown between her and Brady. Whether they were old feelings resurrected or new ones blossoming, Clare felt closer to him than to anyone else. She treasured the fact that she was able to help him and she relished her time with him. It was almost like…falling in love.

The thought stunned her. They were friends. Best friends.

Then why, she asked herself as she flung back the covers, did she crave his touch, want to feel his skin beneath her hands, yearn for him to give her more than a peck on the cheek? There must be more to what she was feeling, and today she’d talk to her therapist about it. She had an appointment in two hours.

The phone rang as she finished her shower. Wrapped in a thirsty red towel, her hair damp, she clicked on.

“Hey, Clare.”

“Hi, Cathy. There’s nothing wrong, is there?”

“No. I’m just leaving Arizona. I should be in Rockford at four.”

“I’ll be waiting at the airport.”

“I can take a cab.”

“No way. See you then.”

More positive feelings filled her. Cathy was coming to spend a week with her. They were going to be together—like old times, her sister had said—and Clare was delighted.

She’d just hung up the phone when it rang again. “Hello.”

“Hello, Clarissa.” Jonathan’s voice, cold and distant on the other end. He’d been this way all week because she’d insisted he cancel the New York trip, and because she hadn’t seen him in four days.
