“Oh, my word.” Andrea stared blindly at the ceiling of Troy’s bedroom. Her pulse had slowed and she’d finally caught her breath.

“Ditto.” His voice was muffled against his pillow.

Andrea chuckled. “Actually, it would take several words, and yet I find myself speechless.” She was feeling pretty smug, too.

Troy rolled onto his side to face her. “Me too.”

“You need confidence to allow someone to have that much control over you.” It had been incredible to be in control of such a large, well-made man. Her body was still pleasantly buzzing. And tomorrow, she wouldn’t have a hangover.

“You’re welcome.” Troy’s expression was uncertain. “I think.”

Andrea rolled her head on the pillow to look at him. “Your self-confidence is the first thing that attracted me to you. You always know what to do and how to do it.”

His expression clouded. “Except when it comes to Gerry.”

She winced in empathy. “You have to work on your impulse control.”

“So I’ve been told.” Troy rolled onto his back.

Andrea felt his regret in her gut. She didn’t want to lose the afterglow of their intimacy, but she had to know who’d first warned him about his recklessness. It was more than curiosity. She wanted to know everything about Troy Marshall. She needed to know.

“What’s your story, Troy? What event in your past do you most regret?”

“Getting married.”

If Mindy hadn’t told her Troy had an ex-wife, Andrea would have tumbled off the bed and fallen to the floor. Still, she was startled by his certainty that his marriage was his greatest regret. “What happened?”

Troy sat up, allowing the bedsheets to settle low on his hips. “She was a liar.”

Andrea dragged her eyes away from his six-pack abs and sculpted pecs. She pushed herself to sit beside him, tucking the sheets under her arms to keep her breasts covered. “What did she lie about?”

Troy glared at the wall across the room. “Being pregnant.”

Andrea’s thoughts disappeared, like a blackboard being erased. “Your wife told you she was pregnant when she wasn’t?”

“No. My girlfriend told me she was pregnant so I’d marry her.” Troy looked at Andrea. “I was a sophomore at Georgetown on a full basketball scholarship. I wanted to graduate. She wanted me to enter the NBA draft.”

“She pretended to be pregnant so you’d marry her and quit school?” Andrea was outraged.

“Except I married her and stayed in school.” Troy tossed off the sheets and climbed out of bed. He wandered naked across the room. His movements were restless, as though the emotions from the past had come back to him.

The sight of his firm gluts and long, muscled thighs distracted Andrea for several heartbeats. “So you left Georgetown with a degree and a divorce.”

“Not what I had in mind. My parents, either. The worst part is that I suspected she was lying.”

Andrea blinked. “How?”

“She was on the pill. She said she’d missed a couple of days when she was cramming for her finals. When I questioned her, she made me feel guilty for not believing her. So I introduced her to my family.
