“You’d like to keep me barefoot and pregnant, wouldn’t you?”

She sounded angry when he’d only been kidding her. “I was teasing,” he said gruffly, disgruntled that she couldn’t have figured that out on her own. “Lots of couples communicate best in bed,” Kyle went on. “It’s not so bad, is it?”

“No,” she agreed reluctantly. “As long as neither one of us has anything to say, we’re in fine shape.”

“What have I said that’s so offensive?” he asked, genuinely wanting to know. “I’d do anything to make matters right between us.”

“Why?” she asked. “So you can get me back in your bed?”

Kyle needed to think about the answer. He didn’t want to be anything less than completely honest. Apparently she found his lack of response insulting. She climbed off his lap so fast, she nearly fell onto the carpet. Laughing was not the appropriate response.

“Don’t you dare laugh,” she ordered. “In fact, it’d probably be best if you left.”

“You don’t mean that.” He gestured weakly with his hands, wondering how all his good intentions had backfired once more.

To prove her point, Carrie walked over to the door and opened it.

Kyle stood and glared at her. He should never have tried to reason with her. This woman was driven strictly by her emotions.

Next time he’d know better. She’d dented his pride once too often. He was through with coming to her house with his tail between his legs. He was through begging her forgiveness for imaginary crimes he was supposed to have committed.

It was only fair that she know of his decision. He paused, his hand against her screen door. “I won’t be back until you invite me.”

She laughed softly. “That’s the best news I’ve heard all day.”

Kyle looked at her and felt a sinking sensation. He didn’t know what he’d done that was so terrible. For that matter, he wasn’t convinced Carrie did either. Fighting with him was a convenient excuse to hide the uncontrollable physical pull they felt toward each other. If that was the way she wanted it, fine. He was in no position to argue, not if he intended on maintaining his pride.
