Chapter Twelve

A sense of contentment that Angelique had never imagined cloaked her like the warm quilt she and Blake had just left behind in his old apartment. She wasn’t ready to let go of either Blake or the fulfillment he’d just given her. But she had to.

Sadness crept in to push out the warmth in her soul. And that old quilt? She could snuggle into it and stay forever, especially if Blake were in it too.

When they pulled into her drive, every light in the cabin was out. The same quiet peacefulness that had settled over her when she was in Blake’s arms blanketed the landscape at this late hour.

“Pull around to the back. Looks like everyone’s in bed,” Angelique said. Thank the angels in heaven because she really didn’t want to answer an onslaught of questions from Kimberly, especially with her parents visiting.

He parked and killed the engine.

“I’m fine from here. No need to walk me to the door.”

Of course he ignored her. He got out and met her on the other side of the truck. As they walked up the path toward the back door, his fingers threaded through hers. They climbed the steps in silence, except for the nocturnal insects that came alive every night. And Angelique’s heartbeat. It pounded in her ears. She jumped when an owl hooted from a nearby tree.

She should tell him now, tell him it had to be over before it ever really got started. A clean break would be the least painful for the both of them. Their lives were on separate paths, and they wanted different things in their futures.

Not true. Actually, they probably did want at least some of the same things. A family. Kids. Only she couldn’t have what she wanted, but he still could. Better to end it before her heart was broken all over again, because he’d already taken a piece of her soul tonight. Nothing would ever fill it the way he had with his tender lovemaking.

At the door, Blake pulled her into his arms and kissed her. Soft and sensual. He let out a satisfied sigh as he deepened the kiss, and it wrung the same involuntary response from her.

Finally he broke the kiss and brushed a strand of hair off her forehead. “You better go inside. You’re too loud for us to get started with your parents inside.”

She blew out a shy laugh.

He found her lips again, caressed them with his own. Pulling back just a breath, she traced his bottom lip with the tip of her tongue.

His arms tightened around her, and one hand sank to her butt. He molded her against his male firmness. He really was hard all over. Impressively so.

“Seriously,” he whispered against her lips. “You better go inside before I take you back to my place.”

That would be fine with her. Except that it wouldn’t.

“See you tomorrow?” he asked, staring down at her.

She hesitated. Tensed. And he went still.

“Blake, this is getting too complicated. I have to meet with your attorney next week.
