Sloan could have lived there for a while longer but for one more consideration. He broke the kiss but let his mouth nibble its way to her ear. He pulled back, but his arms circling her kept Olivia melded to him at their hips. The position was provocative…and promising. He was already highly aroused, and the physical evidence was obvious.

He shook his head. “I can’t. Don’t get me wrong, Olivia, but…I had no idea we… I’m not prepared.”

Olivia blinked, quickly understanding. “I’ll be right back,” she said, disappearing down a hallway.

Sloan used her absence to cover his face and breathe into his hands to gain control. He was beyond stunned at the turn of events. He brushed his hands back over his head, down to his neck, squeezing the nape. He was thinking what he could do to not squander this opportunity, this…gift. He was much more wound up than he’d imagined. Cortisol was having a field day in his brain. He exhaled and heard Olivia returning. She held a small box in her hand. Silently she handed it to him. Casting a curious glance at her, Sloan opened the box to find a handful of individually wrapped condoms with colored cellophane. He quickly raised his gaze to meet hers.

“They’re left over from an assembly program I arranged in school a year ago. After Taryn had Gaye, I thought it was a good idea to have the talk. The kids weren’t going to get it at home. I got permission from the district and had parents sign a release and made it happen.”

Sloan used his finger to stir around the contents, feeling a little odd about getting the condoms from Olivia. He glanced at her again. His gaze was tired but warm with amusement. “Are these for me?”

“Us. I know what you’re thinking,” she said smoothly. “I just didn’t think it was a good idea to leave those in my office. It’s not a sacred place to the students.”

“So…you’ve given this a lot of thought.”

“Are you going to tell me you have not?”

“I have not, until right now. But I did have some pretty active daydreams,” he murmured, closing the box.

She gently placed her hands flat on his chest. “I knew what you’ve been thinking for a while. But I knew the first move would have to be from me.”

“Why?”

“Because I finally realized that you were being really careful, really…respectful. I really loved that. I’m ready to see what happens next. So. This is next.”

Sloan was stunned by her awareness, her confession. He looped his arms loosely around her again, the box in one hand. He looked sternly into her eyes. “Have you felt pressure from me?”

Olivia shook her head. “You’ve only made me feel…like…I really want it to be you.”

Sloan listened carefully, saw the bright light in her eyes…exactly as he’d seen the very first time they met, when he knew instinctively that something different and significant was happening.

“I am honored,” Sloan whispered with deep and heartfelt sincerity.
