Blake drove back to the little white house in the shabbier part of town at six-thirty Friday night, questioning himself the whole way.

He’d been planning another trip this week. Instead, he’d put it off.

Why?

So he could take Dakota out.

Why?

Because he wanted to.

Got no reason not to trust you with my girl, Russell had said. Don’t give me one. Blake had a feeling Russell wouldn’t approve of the life plan. But the fact was, Blake wasn’t going to get anywhere with it until he got over this… obsession.

He wasn’t just looking for some kind of conquest. It wasn’t like one night was going to do it anyway, at least it sure wouldn’t for him. It would be a relationship like any other one. It would just be higher octane. He and Dakota needed to ride that wild side until they burned out.

She’d probably be the one to call a halt, in the end. Blake wasn’t all that easy to live with, or even to be in a relationship with. He seemed laid-back to a woman at first, until she found out the guy he really was. Too intense. Too focused on his work, and on being the best. Not interested enough in the things women liked. Too interested in sex, and never around to pay attention to her otherwise.

He was a bad boyfriend, and he knew it. He ought to, as many women as had said it. It was going to take him a while to be a good husband, if he ever made it. He’d need somebody patient, and probably someone who didn’t expect too much, and that sure wasn’t Dakota. Dakota would expect everything. Look at what she was already doing. Sneaking into his mind, tormenting his body, messing up his plans even when he never saw her. Especially when he never saw her. She’d gone straight back to ghost mode this week, coming in and doing her painting after he’d left for work, then disappearing before he got home.

If anything, Dakota should recognize that this deal would probably turn out the opposite of what she’d been thinking. She thought he was just looking for a short-time good time. The truth was, she’d be the one realizing that was as much as he was good for, and that she deserved more.

She needed somebody who was going to stick around here, somebody to go fishing with Russell and then barbecue that fish, to sit and watch the Mariners afterwards and wonder aloud when the team was going to trade for a leadoff hitter who could put his bat on the ball in any kind of reliable way. She needed somebody who liked her art as much as it deserved and would encourage her to push it harder, somebody willing to save up for a trip hiking through the rainforest and snorkeling over the coral just to make her happy. Somebody to appreciate her and give her what she needed.

And if the thought of it made his hands tighten on the steering wheel and the muscles of his thighs seize up… well, that was that obsession again.
