CHAPTER NINE

TAMARA opened the front door to let Elec know she had Hunter’s race program and her daughter was anxiously waiting for him to sign it. What she saw when she put one foot outside and looked down literally ripped the breath right out of her lungs.

Her son was lying on his stomach next to Elec, who was similarly sprawled out on the wooden floorboards, and they were laughing together. The ant farm was set up in front of them and they were watching it as they cracked up to whatever private joke they’d just shared. It was so normal, so masculine, so casual, that damned if she didn’t have tears in her eyes.

This was what her son had lost when Pete had spun out and hit the wall at Talladega. Easy, comfortable moments like this. Rolling around on the floor. Bugs. Guy stuff. Something she could never give him no matter how much she wanted to. Partly because, well, she wasn’t a guy, but also because there was only so much time in a day, and she was responsible for everything. There just hadn’t been a lot of spare time for lolling around and enjoying the moment.

Petey spotted her, and he nudged Elec. “Shhh,” he said in a stage whisper. “Mom’s here.”

That brought an unexpected stab of pain. Her son was cutting her out, preferring Elec’s company over hers. Maybe that wasn’t entirely rational, because Petey had just spent an entire week at home with her, but it still tweaked her.

Elec nodded to Petey then gave Tamara a sheepish smile. “We’re going to check out Pete’s room and give the ants a permanent home there.”

And now Elec had taken it upon himself to shorten her son’s name. Pete was her husband, Petey was her son, and it bothered her, but she wasn’t about to say something in front of Petey.

“Petey, hold up a minute on taking Elec to your room. Hunter wants her program signed, and I’m not sure how much longer she can stay awake. The fever is wearing her out.” She addressed Elec. “Do you mind?”

“No, of course not.” He had stood up and was holding the ant farm carefully in one hand. When he walked past her, he murmured in her ear, “You changed.”

Tamara blushed. “No, I didn’t.” It was still the same pajama pants and pink T-shirt.

“You added something to the outfit,” he said, pulling the racing program out of her hand and continuing on to the family room.

Yeah, a bra, and damn him for noticing. Though of course he had noticed she wasn’t wearing one before. They had both been aware of that fact, which was why she’d been walking around with her arms crossed. When she’d dashed upstairs for the program, she’d tossed a bra on since her arm muscles were tired from the effort to cover her nipples jutting out in the cotton shirt.

Mixing her kids and Elec and all her sexual wants was not at all enjoyable. She really wanted him
