Bev sat on the balcony of her tiny second floor apartment, her computer on her lap, the power cord trailing behind her back into the building. There had been no contributors for her crowd funding post, no calls about her ad in the paper. None except Jez, who hadn't called since their dinner.
She was out of options.
No, there had to be something else she could do. There just had to be.
And no calls from Mack since Chez Pierre. Which was her fault. She'd pushed him away, after nearly tearing his clothes off in public. And she'd regretted it ever since...pushing him away, that is.
She couldn't deny her attraction to him. Despite the trouble he'd caused her with the shelter, she liked him. A lot. He was a good man who was trying to do his job. And she knew there was more to him, something deeper that was driving his actions. She was sure of it.
And he thought she was beautiful. There was no doubt in her mind about that anymore. He truly thought she was beautiful. As she thought it, something warm and soft blossomed inside her, something beautiful that she'd never felt before.
He knew what she was like, and he liked her anyway, exactly as she was. She could tell.
So why was she holding back? Just because she was afraid he'd hurt her? Bev shook her head. That reason just didn't seem sufficient anymore, not when she wanted to be with him so desperately. She should just enjoy the situation, protect her heart and let her fantasies carry her along. Just enjoy being swept away by him for the moment.
The question was, could she really hold onto her heart? She wasn't sure she could. "What am I supposed to do, Mac?"
The shaggy gray tail thumped on the cement floor of the balcony. She patted her lap, and he leapt up on it, curling up in a tiny ball. She wrapped her arms around him, holding tightly, breathing in the sensation of his fuzzy little body in her arms. Whenever she snuggled with her dog, she felt a deep sense of peace, but this time, it didn't come. She couldn't stop thinking about Mack, about the shelter, about why she was so drawn to Mack when he was making choices that were making her lose her building.
Somehow, he seemed able to separate himself from his work. He seemed like he would never let a situation overwhelm him. He'd assess, make decisions, and take action. She wanted to be like that, but she couldn't. She didn't know what to do. Not about him, not about her shelter.
He would take control. If he were in her situation, and he decided he wanted her, he'd make mad passionate love to her and not worry about the morning after, and he'd find a way to save the animals at the same time. He was that capable, that bold, that confident. Somehow, someway, he'd do it. Bev lifted her chin. He was just a
