Scandalous

She stared at him, her heart soaring. “That’s for me?”

He nodded. Then he chuckled. “I’d hoped that one day I’d break down and make my move.”

“You didn’t really plan to, though. Did you?”

His expression turned serious. “There are some landmines to navigate.”

Kate sighed. Her soaring heart took a nosedive. “Maybe we shouldn’t do this.

Maybe we should just pretend none of this hap—”

“No,” he was quick to say. “We can’t pretend none of this happened. I can’t pretend, Kate.” He pinned her with an intense look. “I’m not saying this isn’t a difficult situation for us to be in. I don’t, for a second, doubt there will be some backlash.

Repercussions. But once you admitted you felt the same way and we both acknowledged this was more than a scratch to be itched…” He shook his head as his jaw clenched. “Christ, Kate. I can’t go back to pretending I don’t want you every minute of the day.”

Her heart took to flight once more. “Oh, John,” she said. “You can’t even begin to imagine how that makes me feel.”

He returned to the sofa, settling between her parted legs. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she held him to her, savoring the feeling of his weight on her, his naked body pressed to hers. In the eight years she’d fantasized about him, never once had she dreamed they would form an intimate bond so quickly. But it was as though they had always been together.

And in many ways, they had. She’d just never allowed herself to indulge in the fantasies. John had been with her all this time, by her side. He had been so proud of her when she’d graduated as valedictorian. He’d been right there in the front row, applauding her accomplishment. Then he’d taken her to dinner at her favorite restaurant.

In fact, he’d celebrated every professional coup with her.
