Beau opened his eyes the next morning and knew he was in trouble. Kate’s bedroom came into view and her warm body was pressed intimately against his side as she slept. Regret pounded through him. And it wasn’t exactly because they’d finally given into temptation. It was because he had liked it way too much. In fact, once hadn’t been enough and neither had twice. Not only that, he liked waking up with her spooned against him.

Startled by the realization, he breathed in deeply. How had she managed to get under his skin so easily? It was like all his control flew out the window. It was crazy.

Frowning, he knew he had to get himself out of this before things got any deeper. The question was how? He didn’t want to hurt her. He had warned her the night before that he wasn’t the forever type. Had she believed him? Women were funny that way. He’d had a few along the way who hadn’t heeded that warning. They had fallen apart right before his eyes, so he’d basically ran like hell. Kate would be a little harder to run from, simply because she was Kylie’s friend.

He cursed himself. The fact that he’d let himself get into this mess pissed him off. Normally, he was smarter than this. The truth was she was different than any woman he’d been with in the past. He really liked her, he realized. Probably more than he was willing to admit. He still wanted her, even while at the same time he wanted to sneak out the front door and never come back.

Looking down at her face, he couldn’t help but smile. She still slept soundly, her eyes closed and her body completely relaxed. Her dark hair lay loose against his arm. She had beautiful skin, a little olive toned and soft. She was cuter than all get out. There was just something endearing about that face. Even scrunched up and angry, she was a turn on. He figured most people couldn’t pull that off.

Deciding that staring at her was only making things worse, he gently moved his arm and climbed out of bed. He needed a shower and he needed coffee. Maybe then he would be able to think straight.

First, he knew he needed to give his brother a call. Trey would be worried, given the fact that Beau had a psycho on his tail. He headed for the bathroom, shutting the door quietly behind him. Then he dialed Trey’s number and waited.

“What’s up?” Trey answered a moment later, sounding sleepy.

“You’re still in bed?” Beau leaned against the bathroom counter, keeping his voice down.

“It’s only seven, Beau. Don’t you ever check your watch?. There were people millingd into her driveway”

He hadn’t bothered. It was lying on the bedside table where he’d tossed it the night before. “I thought I’d better let you know I’m alright before you get your feathers ruffled.”

“You told me you were going to Kate’s,” was all Trey replied.

Beau winced. Clearly, his brother knew he was still at Kate’s.
