***

Clint stared up at the ceiling with a heavy heart. He hadn’t slept with anyone since he’d lost his wife. Guilt ate at his soul. Was he betraying Nicole’s memory by moving on with someone new? Was she up in Heaven staring down on him with accusatory eyes? Would he ever be able to make love again without feeling the crushing pain of his wife’s loss?

He rolled onto his side and pulled Jessica closer. He felt horrible for even thinking about Nicole when he had a wonderful woman lying next to him. She gazed up at him with a tenderness that tore at his guts. His bear huffed.

She’s our mate, his bear insisted.

But could he actually have two mates in one lifetime? He’d never considered it before meeting Jessica.

“What are you thinking?” she whispered.

He hesitated for a moment. He couldn’t confess that he felt like he was betraying his wife. But he also didn’t want to lie to Jessica. They’d only known each other a few days, but they’d already developed a bond he couldn’t deny. Not that he’d try to; his bear sure as hell wouldn’t let him forget it.

“I’m just wondering where this might go,” he said.

“What do you mean?”

“I haven’t dated anyone since I lost my wife,” he said.

“I know,” she said. “I didn’t date at all after my ex-husband went to prison. I was too embarrassed to even try. I also didn’t want to end up with someone like Bart again. So I kept to myself. Also, it’s not easy to date with a child.”

“Tell me about it. I have enough trouble leaving Hailey with the babysitter when I’m at work.”

“Would you ever want to date again?” she asked.

“I think about it sometimes,” he said. “I get lonely and miss having a partner in life. I don’t know how it was for you with your marriage, but when Nicole and I got married, it felt like I could share all of the responsibilities of life with her. We were able to prop each other up when we were down.”

“Bart was like that too in the beginning. Whenever things got too overwhelming, I had someone to lean on and he did the same, at least in the beginning. In the end, we were hardly speaking to each other. If I did try to have another relationship, it would have to be with someone who was good at communication.”

“Someone who would tell you exactly what they’re feeling?” he asked.

“Yeah. Sort of like right now.”

“I shouldn’t be talking about Nicole right now. I’m sorry.” He entwined his fingers with hers. “I just feel so comfortable with you.”

“I do too,” she murmured.

As she snuggled against his side, he brushed his lips across her shoulder. She gazed up at him with passion in her eyes. He rolled a bit more until his body partially covered hers. He already wanted her again. It wasn’t just years of celibacy that made him want to claim her again—there was more to it. He loved being with her, and he already didn’t want to think about letting her go.
