Angela stepped onto the porch as she watched Levi’s car approach. A smile parted her lips when he stopped and got out of the gleaming white sedan. Looking at him now forced her to acknowledge what she hadn’t wanted to admit. Although Levi was her friend, she wanted more from him.

She had with him what she hadn’t had with any man in her life—trust and honesty. That was what had been missing in her relationship with Robert.

Her smile grew wider when Levi held out his arms and she walked into his strong and protective embrace. Circling her arms around his body, Angela closed her eyes and inhaled the scent of his aftershave, his laundered shirt and his body’s natural scent. He looked and smelled delicious.

“How are you?” she whispered against the solid wall of his chest.

Levi rested his chin on the top of her head. “Good. And you?”

Easing back, she stared up at him. “Wonderful.”

“I was waiting for you to call to tell me that your mother had canceled the cookout because of the weather.”

“No way, Levi. Unless there’s a tornado or earthquake, for my mother the show will always go on.”

“If she had canceled it, then I would’ve made you hang out with me.” Levi tightened his hold on Angela. “I’m looking forward to the time when we can spend more than a couple of hours together.”

Angela tried to keep her emotions in check. Levi had expressed what she had been feeling since she awoke in the middle of the night. She’d awakened from an erotic dream that left her shaken and moaning in frustration. It had taken a while, but she’d managed to go back to sleep only to be awakened again by the same dream. This time she saw the face of the man in bed with her. She saw Levi smiling at her.

“I need you.” The admission had slipped out.

Levi expelled an audible breath, not sure of what he’d just heard. Maybe he’d imagined Angela telling him she wanted him because he wanted her. They’d known each other a week, and never in that time had she given him any indication that she wanted more than friendship.

“Do you realize what you’re saying?”

Tilting her head, she met his piercing gaze. “I know exactly what I’m saying.”

“You know this will change everything we’d agreed to.”

She nodded. “What we’d agreed to was no marriage and no babies, Levi, and that means you’re going to have to use protection until I go back on the Pill.”

“Are you sure?”

A trembling smile touched her lips. “Very sure.”

Levi couldn’t believe he was questioning a woman who he’d wanted to make love to within hours of meeting her. Was he getting old? Or had he been without a woman for so long that he’d become quite comfortable with his self-imposed abstinence?

“I’m not into gratuitous sex,” he said, stalling long enough to give Angela a chance to withdraw her offer.
