ALYSSA HAD EXPECTED him to walk out, so why was she feeling so sorry for herself and lying like a limp rag in her suddenly claustrophobic bed? Maybe because she’d begun to have hope, if just the smallest trace of it, that he really did like her. And maybe it was simply because she was a fool.

He didn’t want her. Yes, it was more than obvious that he wanted to spend a few more nights in bed with her, but that wasn’t nearly enough. Of course, with the hormones rushing through her body, she might be able to spontaneously combust and light some bedding on fire all on her own. Her body was sensitive in the extreme, and to feel a man’s touch would be divine. The mere thought of feeling Jackson sink deep inside her made her core pulse.

But she knew that wasn’t what she should do. She’d been smart to keep her distance. The guy was clueless beyond belief, and he must really have a low opinion of her to have assumed so easily that the child was another man’s.

Not that she’d told him anything different. But she hadn’t exactly lied; she just hadn’t told anyone who the baby’s father was. That eased her conscience, if only a little.

“I can’t seem to stay away from you.”

Alyssa turned to watch Jackson stroll into her room as if he didn’t have a care in the world. She was torn between relief, which she certainly didn’t want to feel, and frustration, which she should be feeling.

“What are you doing here? I thought I’d seen the last of you. You ran so fast you left a cloud of smoke behind you.”

“You thought wrong, Alyssa.” He sat down in one chair and propped his legs up on another, making himself disgustingly comfortable, looking as if he weren’t planning on ever leaving.

“I don’t want you here.”

“I disagree. I think you do want me here, but you’re too stubborn to admit it.”

“Well, then, I guess we’re at an impasse, Jackson.”

“You can always try to kick me out,” he told her.

“Don’t think that I’m weak just because I’m in this bed.”

“I would never make such a foolish mistake as to think you anything other than beautiful, strong, and capable.”

It was more than clear that this man was a smooth talker. Did he practice in front of his mirror? Probably. She had to remind herself that he was a powerful businessman, obviously good at coming up with lines in his life of constant schmoozing. He had probably used this same line so many times it flowed from his tantalizing lips without any help from his pea-sized brain.

“Jackson, this is a pointless game you’re playing. You obviously know that I’m pregnant. I’m not on the market,” she said, suddenly drained.

“I disagree. There’s no ring on your finger, and I don’t see a man anywhere nearby who’s holding your hand.”

“Maybe because I don’t need a man to hold my hand.”

“We all need somebody, Alyssa. Sometimes we’re just too damn headstrong to admit that.
