Dear Levi,I love the way your mouth hitches up into that little half-grin. It makes my heart skip a beat…and my nipples tingle…

HE HADN’T BEEN kidding about the holding his hand thing, Natalie thought as Levi’s strong fingers lay entwined with hers on top of his muscled thigh. A sexual current seemed to run from his fingers through hers and straight to the very heart of her sex. They sat in a sort of expectant silence as the final credits rolled.

“Damn,” Levi finally said, releasing a pent-up breath. “That was one scary ass movie.”Understatement of the year, Natalie thought. She’d heard about the legendary horror film for years, but had never watched it. Levi hadn’t either, which had made her self-serving, give-her-a-reason-to-cuddle selection perfect.

Natalie grinned. “Are you saying you’d rather have watched the chick flick?” she teased.

“Hell no,” Levi said, chuckling. He squeezed her hand. “This was nice. I haven’t watched a movie in ages.”

“I love movies,” she admitted. “They’re one of my favorite forms of entertainment.”

A wicked twinkle lit his eyes and it was obvious he was thinking about a completely different form of entertainment. The kind that involved naked skin and hurried breathing and culminated with a back-clawing, toe-curling release. “I enjoy it, but I don’t think I’d go so far as to say it was one of my favorites. I prefer a more…physical form of entertainment.” His gaze caught and held hers. “Unless it’s reading, of course. Particularly letters.”

Oh, hell. Natalie swallowed as her stomach gave an ominous quiver.

“Did Adam mention that I’ve been getting letters from a woman from Bethel Bay?” he asked, studying her closely.

“He, er…He might have mentioned it.” She’d known this was coming, that it was only a matter of time before he’d bring it up. And she should own up, Natalie thought. Get it out of the way. Just tell him. This deception had gone on long enough.

All she had to do was admit that she was his Mysterious Ms. X and they could move forward, in the admittedly temporary direction they both wanted. Though she didn’t know whether Adam had shared his suspicions with Levi, given the leading questions he’d asked she knew he had his own incriminating thoughts on the subject as well.

And just because he didn’t know now for sure didn’t mean he wouldn’t know shortly. That letter with her return address would be here any day, and when it came…

She should just tell him, Natalie thought again, trying to drum up the nerve to do just that.

But she couldn’t. Ridiculous and cowardly, she knew, but—

“I’ve really appreciated them,” Levi told her, twisting the guilt knife even further. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “They’ve uh…They’ve meant a lot.”

“That’s nice,” Natalie said, for lack of anything better. Meanwhile her heart did a little pirouette.

She’d known that he’d been smitten with her letters—had enjoyed them—because he’d written her back and told her so. Told her that and so much more. Those letters had opened the line
