AT EIGHT O’CLOCK THAT evening, Em had gotten her father off to bed, straightened up the kitchen, posted a photo of the moon over the Pemberley House gardens on Instagram, and checked her phone about fifteen times for messages.

She’d thought she would hear from Ward this evening.

They’d agreed they could have sex again. Tonight would be a reasonable time for that to happen. She thought so anyway.

But other than a texted conversation earlier that day about the Pemberley House homeowners’ association meeting next week—of which she was president—she hadn’t heard from him.

Was he expecting her to make the first move?

She was willing to do it, but she’d rather hear from him first. It felt strange to just show up at his front door saying she was ready for sex.

Was that what he wanted from her?

Is that what most women would do?

She felt nervous and antsy and unsure of herself, and she wasn’t used to feeling that way.

She didn’t like it.

She was about to check her phone one more time when she heard a familiar chirp. She grabbed for it and read the text that had just come in.

I’m back home. Come on over if you want.

Ward.

She was grinning like an idiot when one more text came in on the heels of the first.

No pressure.

She giggled and texted back. On way.

She glanced down at herself as she stood up. She was wearing a long, soft sweater and a pair of slinky gray lounge pants that were only a step away from pajamas. She looked pretty good, and she didn’t feel like changing clothes. She’d feel stupid going over to Ward’s cottage in a sexy outfit anyway.

So she locked up and headed over, relieved when she didn’t run into anyone on her way down the stairs and out the building. She’d put a belted sweater on over her outfit, but someone she knew would definitely ask her where she was off to at this hour.

She didn’t want to tell them.

When she reached Ward’s cottage, she knocked on the door, breathing fast and shallow. She was excited. Very excited. No sense in denying it.

Ward opened the door after a minute. He was dressed in another pair of flannel pants, and he smelled like soap.

“Did you just shower?” she asked.

“Yeah. I took a quick one.”

“Oh.” She paused. Then just said it. “I’m here for sex, if you’re interested.”

His face warmed with a low chuckle, and he stepped out of the way to let her in. “I’m definitely interested. Why do you think I took a shower? Didn’t want to stink.”

“You definitely don’t stink.” She was grinning like a fool.

“You don’t either.” Then, without saying another word, he pulled her into a kiss right there in the entryway.

Ward might be careful and polite and thoughtful most of the time, but he was different in the bedroom. His kiss was hard, enthusiastic. With just the right amount of assertiveness.

He took control of the kiss and then, before she knew it, he was lifting her up and carrying her into his bedroom.
