I’m not sure which of us is more disappointed when I leave. I have to return to Lake Tahoe first thing in the morning. I have a deadline to meet and an aggressive schedule ahead of me. I’m so far behind as it is with all the time I wasted during the fall months while I was nursing my wounds and acting the fool. Neither my agent nor my editor are exactly pleased with me right now since I’ve already missed several deadlines.

Even though we’ll only be able to see each other on weekends, it will give us time to immerse ourselves in our work without distractions. I need this to catch up. One manuscript needs to be at my editor’s by the end of January and another one is due in April. I will be pushing it to get both done in time.

As we say our goodbyes, we kiss and both try to stretch it out for as long as possible.

“Are you sure you don’t want to stay with me tonight?” she asks.

“It’s not a matter of wanting. You know that. It’s a matter of sticking to my plan and what I think is right this time. I’ll be damned if I screw it up again.”

“You won’t.”

I grab her and kiss her, hard. We’re against her front door saying goodbye, and it’s the hardest goodbye I’ve ever known. “This is very difficult.”

“I know,” she says into my mouth. “Don’t go.”

“Stop tempting me, dangerous girl.” I’ve tangled up her hair during our time making out on the couch and she looks so damn delicious, I want to taste her all over. “Bloody hell, Fallon, you are so fuckable right now. If you could see yourself.” I run my finger from her forehead down between her eyes, over her nose and down to her lips.

“Then why don’t you fuck me, Ryland Thomas?”

“You know bloody hell why. Now stop tempting me so I can get out of here.” I kiss her once more and release her. “I’ll call you when I hit the road in the morning, gorgeous. Sleep well.”

“As if.” She grins.

“Dream about me, then?”

“As if I have a choice.”

I catch a taxi back to Tilly’s. It’s going to be a sleepless night for me.

It’s not quite light out when I get out of bed. I should’ve simply left last night, but I didn’t trust myself with the alcohol I’d consumed. Tilly and I say our good-byes and then I’m heading back to Tahoe by seven a.m. My hand is itching to call Fallon, but I want her to sleep another couple hours or so. She probably won’t sleep tonight, since tomorrow is her first day on her new job.

Visions of us kissing keep popping into my head, and seconds later, I have a raging hard-on. Dammit! I’m going to have to start wearing baggy pants because this is getting most uncomfortable.

Leaving the congestion of the city behind, I’m on the open highway with my head wrapped up in scenes for my latest novel when my phone rings.
