Chapter Nine

Matt opened his eyes and wondered if he was awake. Someone was curled up in his bed with him. He sat up and stared down. It was Diane.

She rolled onto her back then opened her eyes. She stared back at him. Did she realize she’d climbed into bed with him? And did this mean anything?

“I hope you don’t mind,” she whispered.

Mind? Hell no, he didn’t. In fact, that was the best nap he’d had in a long time.“Uh, no. We’ve only got one bed right now. And you’re in no condition to sleep on the couch.”

She pulled herself into a sitting position and fluffed a pillow behind her. “Can we talk?”

Women, they always wanted to talk. Couldn’t they just enjoy this moment together? “I guess.”

“I believe you.”

He raised an eyebrow. “About?”

“The club. I know you wouldn’t want to hook up with a prostitute, single or not.”

“Thank you. That means a lot to me.” He sat back against the headboard next to her. “I had no idea what the place was. The woman I met there, she was very forward. I knew something was off.”

Diane laughed. “You’re too handsome to go somewhere like that. I’m sure you could find someone a more traditional way.”

She still thought he was attractive. That meant the world to him. Lord knew he found her sexy as hell. The woman glowed all the time. It took everything in him to hold back half the time from touching her.

“Oh!” She jumped.

“What? Are you okay?”

“The baby did a flip, it felt like. He’s really kicking.” She reached out. “Give me your hand.”

She laid his palm on her hard, round belly. His son was moving and it was the craziest thing he’d ever felt.

“Wow, he’s active.”

“A future soccer player.” She grinned.

This was the most magnificent thing he’d ever experienced in his life. He stared at her stomach underneath the thin cloth of her top and could see it bounce along with the movements.

“Matt,” she said softly.

“Yes.” He looked up and into her blue eyes.

“I really want to kiss you.”

Oh God, he wanted to also. But if he kissed her, he wasn’t sure that was all he could do. The area below his belt already wanted to reconnect with her.

“Please.”

Fuck. He reached out, wrapped a hand around her neck, and pulled her face to him. His lips were inches from hers. Now was the moment to pull back, but he couldn’t. Her fingers laced around his neck and into his hair. Her lips met his and that was it. He thrust his tongue into her mouth and she met him with equal need.

Moving his other hand from her belly, he let it caress her lower back as they kissed. He still couldn’t believe they were lip-locked. His gut told him they should stop; she was a taken woman. But damn it, that was his son in her. Wasn’t it his right to kiss her if she wanted to be doing this with him?

He pulled back.

“Why’d you stop?” she whispered breathlessly.
