HE NEEDED TO GET laid.

Bad.

Wolfe dropped her hand and eased away. Her body was so soft and womanly. She’d finally put weight back on and lost the sharp edges stress had lent her. Those killer curves were back, and his fingers itched to grab and stroke and pleasure.

The shocks were coming faster and more frequently now. Moments when their eyes met and heat surged between them, leaving him weak. What was happening between them? Every night he lay on the couch, battling sleep and imagining her in bed. Cotton nightgown twisted around her thighs. Lips parted and moist as she breathed. Those beautiful corkscrew curls falling wildly over the pillow.

He was beginning to wonder if he’d sleep better in the car.

Wolfe used to be able to put his hands on her without fuss. He’d grab her around the hips and tickle her ribs, which she despised. He’d ruffle and tug on her hair. Wrap his arms around her for a big bear hug. Sure, they’d always had a connection, but the tiny simmer had exploded into a wildfire, and he didn’t know what the hell to do. What had changed? And why did he suddenly want so much more?

She must’ve reached the same conclusion, because she forced a smile and spoke with fake cheer. “Thanks for the defense, friend.” She subtly emphasized the word as if reminding both of them their true relationship. For his sake? Or hers?

He smiled back. “Anytime. Friend.”

They both turned and listened to the music. The band was pretty good, able to crank out a variety of alternative and some recognizable pop songs without sounding like karaoke. Gen swayed her hips and mouthed the words. She’d always been a great dancer, able to throw herself into the music and the moment without caring how she looked. A strange ache fluttered from his gut. What would it feel like to claim her, man to woman, rather than friend to friend? Would she explode in bed like she did in the daylight, full of energy and joy and determination to wring the most out of the moment?

The man who held her heart for keeps needed to be extraordinary. Needed to match the same inner lightness she exhibited in her soul. The memories flashed hard and painful. Wolfe scratched absently at his leather wristband, accepting he’d never be that man, never be good enough for her.

At least he’d protect her.

Even from himself.

A fierce possession reared up. Gen belonged to the world of the living; of beautiful things; of a future filled with happiness and babies and domestic bliss. This time, he’d make sure she chose correctly.

The music slowed to a moody ballad, and the pink-haired singer launched into some classic pop song he vaguely remembered from the radio. His voice held a rich baritone, lending an air of smoky nightclub atmosphere. Night folded around them, battling the blinding lights from the stage. Stars exploded in the sky. The air was heavy with the scent of popcorn, cotton candy, and damp grass.
