CHAPTER

Eleven

I TURN AND walk out of the restaurant just as I did earlier. Getting him to talk is like pulling teeth. He knows my life. He knows about Asher, about Brit, and about my bakery. All I know about him is that he was a lawyer in New York City, that he’s been wanting to return to Sweetwater, and I devastated HIM. Ha! That’s laughable.

That’s it. That’s all I know. He’s lying through his ultra white teeth.

I walk down the sidewalk, cursing the day Jace Faraday came back into my life. I can’t do this. I just can’t do this.

I hear footsteps approaching and I know he is once again coming after me. He grabs one of my arms, twirls me around, and before I know what is happening his lips are on mine, kissing me with pent up passion. I know I shouldn’t kiss him, not with so much unsettled between us, but I melt into him and kiss him back with as much zest as he is showing me. I match him kiss for kiss, our arms wrap around each other, and I know I’m where I’ve longed to be for the longest time. Jace knows how to kiss a girl, not too hard and not too soft. I melt into him and I don’t ever want to leave his embrace. I’ve always loved this man with every fiber of my being. I’ve dreamed of kissing him, but the real thing is a thousand times better. I admit, I kiss him forcefully and I don’t back down for one second. He’s the man I want and I know that message is conveyed in my kiss. Neither one of us try to break the kiss. It goes on for much longer than I’m sure he at first intended. But we’re making up for lost time. This is my chance to kiss him and I’m going to take it.

When it ends, it’s a slow and reluctant end. We share several soft little kisses before he finally rests his forehead on mine. We each catch our breath for a few moments.

“Wow,” he says. “I wasn’t expecting that.”

“I was. It’s always been like that for us. I’ve missed it.”

“Me too.” He slowly backs away, but keeps my hands in his. “Give me a chance, Shay. I won’t hurt you.”

He’s so sincere, it kills me. “You don’t even know what you did that hurt me so much, do you?”

He shakes his head. “I don’t. Whatever it was, I didn’t mean it.”

I’m so disappointed, I feel like screaming. He isn’t going to confess about his lifestyle in New York. And I know what that means. I can’t trust him. “We need to talk. You and me, no holds barred.”

“Okay.” He sighs heavily. “Where can we go? We’re both living with our moms right now. I wish we had someplace private to go.”

“We could go to the bakery,” I offer.

He rocks back on his heels as he thinks about it. “That works for me.”

The car is silent as we drive to the bakery.
