Chapter Ten

He pulled into the parking area for his building and shut off the truck’s engine. What the hell had he been thinking, bringing Lily back to his place instead of taking her home? But the thought of leaving her alone and vulnerable, knocked out by pain medication went against every protective instinct he owned. Alone and helpless, with nobody to care for her? He couldn’t do it.

“Honey, wake up. Let’s get you settled.”

He watched her pretty little nose scrunch up beneath his borrowed dark glasses. If she hadn’t been in pain, he’d kiss her because she was so adorably cute.

None of that, Temple. She’s not yours.

Instead of getting out of the truck, she snuggled against his shoulder, burrowing closer against his side. Her hand crept along his denim-clad thigh, and he wanted to howl. His body tightened, as her hand drifted between his spread legs. Another inch or two and she’d know exactly how much her touch affected him.

During the drive back from his parents’ place, she’d slumped over, practically landing in his lap. He’d ended up pulling her against his side to keep her from sliding off the seat.

Yeah, right. Don’t lie to yourself, buddy. You just wanted to feel her against you. Touch her.

“Lily, honey, wake up.”

“Don’t wanna. Sleepy now.”

He sighed and stared down at the barely awake but enticingly beautiful blonde. There were two very good reasons he didn’t grab her in his arms, race upstairs and toss her into his bed. A—because she’d be mortified when she woke up and found herself sprawled out in her ex-husband’s bed. And B—he wasn’t sure his knee would hold up under the added strain.

With a grimace, he propped her languorously limp body against the seat and slid out, going around to the passenger door.

“Lily, come on, baby. Let’s get you to bed.”

The sunglasses slid down until they perched on the end of her nose. She opened her eyes, sleepy and yet a brilliant green even in the muted light of the garage. So damned gorgeous.

“What? Bed? Umm hmm, bed sounds good.” She scooted across the seat and held out her arms, trusting him to help her. Cursing, he held tight as her body wiggled against his, arms wrapping around his neck. Her breasts rubbed against his chest and she practically purred as she molded herself against him. Finally her feet hit the concrete and he could breathe again, easing her body slightly away from his. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he stopped only long enough to grab her purse and lock the truck.

Holding her soft curves against him was an exercise in agony. With each step she brushed against him, and his body tightened in response. Wanting Lily had never been a problem, not since the first moment he’d first set eyes on her. Holding her this close was a strain on his resolve to fight the pull he always felt toward the blonde beauty.

In the elevator, he had to bite back a curse when her hand
