CHAPTER SEVEN

LACEY SPENT THE rest of the day and early evening with Scott plastered to her side. She’d wanted to needle him in front of his sisters, but she’d decided against it. If Scott needed her to protect him against his sisters’ constant matchmaking, she would do it. Not that he’d really given her much of a choice.

As they moved from group to group she wasn’t surprised by the looks they received from his various family members. While everyone had always been nice to Lacey, now that they thought there was something between the two of them his family seemed to have opened their arms to receive her.

By the time she had rounded up Alston and got him into the car she was looking forward to the peaceful quiet of her own home. She could feel the eyes of everyone on her back as Scott walked her to her car.

“Make sure your mother knows what a good time I had,” Lacey told Scott, then leaned in closer to him and whispered, “You know everyone is watching us, right?”

“They’re waiting to see if I kiss you goodnight,” Scott said as he moved in closer to her.

She looked into the back seat, where Alston was buckled in and had started a video.

“I hate to disappoint them,” she said—and realized too late that Scott had taken her words wrong when he dipped his head towards hers.

His lips touched hers for a moment and then were gone, leaving her wishing for more.

“That should make them happy,” Scott said as he smiled down at her.

She didn’t understand what was happening between the two of them. No matter how she wished it wasn’t true, Scott was proving her wrong about their attraction to each other. It wasn’t something that was going to go away if they ignored it, but she was afraid if they let it run its course there would only be pieces of their friendship left to pick up.

Still, looking up at him now, she couldn’t help but think of what she’d experienced with him earlier. Just the thought of his hands on her sent a hot blush rushing up her face.

She turned her face away from him, hoping that he wouldn’t notice. He’d proved to her that it was her attraction to him that set her on fire. She would never have been able to let another man touch her like he had, and that scared her. She’d only experienced that depth of desire before with Ben, and that had been so long ago.

If only she could accept what Scott offered her, but it was too hard for her to make that next move in her life. Was she ready for a romantic relationship? She couldn’t deny the desire she felt for Scott, but where would that lead them? Their friendship was so important to both of them, and adding more to the mix, even if it was just sex, could be dangerous.

“Lacey, are you okay?” Scott asked.

She realized he’d been talking to her but she couldn’t remember a word.
