Chapter Ten

Savannah shut the front door and then leaned against it, a small smile curving her lips. Slowly but surely, Tristan was forgiving her. The wall he’d built around his heart had started to crack. If she kept chipping away at it with her love, soon it would crumble altogether.

Being in his arms tonight had felt like coming home. She’d wanted to stay there forever, listening to the beat of his heart and his ragged breathing, knowing that despite everything, he still wanted her as much as she wanted him.

Luckily, the slamming door had brought her back to her senses.

Perhaps, in time, he’d forgive her for the choices she’d made ten years ago, but he’d never understand why she was keeping the truth about Billy from him now.

She had to tell him. There was no excuse not to. And until she did, she couldn’t give in to the siren pull of desire.

“Savannah? Are you all right?”

She glanced up and saw Ian staring at her from the parlor doorway.

Concern darkened his blue eyes, and he hurried forward, taking her arm and bending his mouth close to her ear. “Did you tell Tristan about Billy?”

She shook her head and pulled away from him. “Not yet,” she admitted. “We just talked about Michael.”

Ian sighed and folded his arms across his chest. “You have to tell him soon.”

“I know.” Guilt made her voice sharp. “I will tell him. I just need to find the right words. The right time.”

“Billy is your son,” Ian whispered harshly. “That’s only four words. How many more do you need?”

Savannah glared at her brother, stung. Ian had never spoken to her this way. Did he really think she meant to keep Tristan in the dark any longer than necessary?

“Tell Mary I’m not feeling well,” she told him with all the quiet dignity she could muster. “I’m going to my room.”
