Chapter Eight

More tired than she realized, Chelsea overslept the next morning. Clouds hung low and the heaviness of an incoming rain clung to the air as she hustled Max into the van.

When traffic backed up on the freeway, she switched the radio on to a country music station. The next exit was hers. If she got there in a few minutes, she would arrive on time for Max’s check-up at the doctor’s office.

They were late, but only by a few minutes. Out of sorts, she appreciated the coolness of the air-conditioning in the pediatrician’s office. She liked being punctual. That’s all that was wrong.

Liar, her mind screamed. Feelings for Dylan had grown more confusing. She told herself that romanticizing about him amounted to stupidity. He didn’t think about her when he wasn’t with her the way she did about him. He didn’t want to be with her, to hear her voice, to feel the heat churning within him during another kiss. She wanted all that and more.

You have no pride, she berated herself. This man tossed you aside. He chose a woman she would never compare to. Well, maybe with plastic surgery and body molding, she might resemble someone like Lauren. But a person was stuck with their personality. She lacked the effervescence, the quick wit and charm that he wanted in a woman. Repeatedly she’d warned herself not to make too much of his kisses. They may have been incited by nothing more than curiosity, or some ego trip on his part to see if he could make her swoon.

Oh, but the man she’d been with yesterday hadn’t seemed like that. Helping her, he’d been thoughtful. When talking about his past, he’d been vulnerable. He’d been the man she’d seen glimpses of during their brief time together. “Max, I don’t know what I’ll do if he’s your daddy.” If he was, she might never see either of them again.

There. That was what this was all about. Max was a part of her soul already. She’d known that the moment she’d held him.

And Dylan? She wanted him to want her so badly that he would feel as if he was going crazy with his need for her. And even as she wanted to spark emotion in him, she wasn’t certain she was prepared for the consequences of such an act.
