He'd never pounced on a woman like that in his entire life. He'd never lost control of his actions and emotions the way he had within seconds of kissing Georgia. He couldn't understand what had happened,, how he had gone so far so fast He'd had no intention of instigating something like that. The thought of something like that happening between them had never entered his mind.

Until he'd kissed Georgia. And then, suddenly, everything had changed.

Evan topped what looked like a triple-decker sandwich with a slice of rye, and scattered some potato chips on the paper plate beside it. Then he turned to look at the two adults one more time. "I'll be in my room," he said shortly. And evidently, that was enough. Because he strode down the hall without another backward glance.

When his bedroom door closed behind him—much less violently than the front door had a few moments earlier—Georgia spun around to look at Jack and expelled a long, lusty sigh.

"I am so sorry," she said. "I completely forgot that he would be getting home at eight-thirty. When I invited you to dinner, I was thinking maybe the three of us could spend some time together over coffee when Evan got home. Then..." Her words trailed off before she concluded, "I just had no idea you and I would wind up—"

She halted abruptly, and a red stain seeped up her throat and into her face. For a brief moment Jack wondered if her breasts were flushed, too, then he brutally chased the speculation away.

"I...Geo... I'm sorry. That was inexcusable."

"What was?" She seemed honestly mystified by his apology-

"What happened tonight," he clarified, equally confused by her bewilderment. "I apologize for it. I had no right to—"

"You're apologizing for that?" she asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"Of course I am. I've never...you're not...I don't..."

The more words that tumbled out of his mouth, the worse he made the situation sound, Jack thought. So he clamped his lips shut tight and tried to still the spinning of his thoughts long enough to get hold of one or two. Unfortunately, they continued to race well beyond his grasp.

"You're sorry you kissed me?" she asked quietly. "You're sorry for the way you...you touched me?"

And then he understood. In a few quick, easy strides he had crossed to her, and he lifted his hand, fingers curled, to stroke her warm cheek with the backs of his knuckles. Her eyes widened in response, her blush deepened, and when he raked the pad of his thumb lightly across her lower lip, she drew in a shivery breath.

"Oh, no, Geo," he said softly. "I'm not sorry for that. Not for any of that. I'm not sorry it happened—I'm sorry it happened the way it did. The first time for us...it should be more...unhurried. It should be special."

"Then you think there's going to be a first time?" she asked, her voice coming out weak and shaky.

Why deny it? Jack thought. "Yeah. I do. And probably a second and a third time, too.
