EMMA WAS INSATIABLE. They made love twice in the hotel room, and again at her house. Ryan had taken her deep and hard and fast, then slower and sweeter. For a moment, she’d looked up at him as he moved inside her, her body clenching his, her mouth seeking his to kiss, that he was certain she would whisper that she loved him.

But she hadn’t.

Ryan hadn’t slept around much since he’d left Mystic Ridge. He wasn’t a monk so there had been a couple of women—both one-night stands. Both times they’d been redheads.

He knew he had it bad for Emma—he’d known it for a while. But actually being with her had done him in for good.

Still, there was a little piece of herself that she was holding back from him and it was driving him crazy.

She didn’t ask him to leave, so he stayed by her side, sleeping in her bed, her body warm and soft and sexy curved against his. He could definitely get used to this.

“Was it really better?” he whispered to her.

She turned around so they were face-to-face. “Better?”

“You said you and me… That it was better than your fantasies. Better than your book.” He laughed under his breath. “This is me being needy.”

She smiled, a sweet, shy smile that betrayed how open and sexy she’d been only a short time ago. He still felt the lust potion swirling between them, threatening to cloud his thoughts, driving him to make love to her again instead of wasting time talking. But talking with Emma wasn’t wasted time.

She brushed her mouth against his. “Did you really read it? All the way through?”

He grinned and traced a line on her plump bottom lip. “Yes. Twice.”

“Twice?”

“I never knew I was such a bookworm.”

“I’m a little embarrassed. I’m not the best writer in the world.”

“You’re amazing,” he assured her. “For real. There was only one bad thing about the book.”

“Which was?”

“Nobody lived happily ever after.”

Her cautious look turned amused. “A sucker for a Holly wood ending, are you?”

“Again, it’s news to me. But I guess I am.”

“It was a journey for my heroine. She needed to experience life in all its facets before she truly understood herself.”

“And she left the hero behind when she moved away. I thought they were in love.”

“They might hook up again. Someday.” She shrugged a bare shoulder and he slid his hand over it, fascinated by every move she made.

“You didn’t answer my question. Does this—what happened between us tonight—really compare to your fantasies?”

“My novel was only fiction.” She traced her fingers over the stubble on his jaw. “This was real.”

“Was it?” He searched her face.

She bit her bottom lip. “It felt pretty damn real to me. Lust potions notwithstanding.”

“Is that a good thing?”

“Ryan Shephard, you really are needy.”

“I seem to have gotten that way recently. I…I just want to make sure you don’t regret what happened between us.”

She studied his face for a moment. “It doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t change…what happened before.”

Even though he’d never
