CHAPTER 11

Heath knocked on her door at six sharp. She yelled that it was unlocked before turning back to her hall mirror to check her makeup. Like it would matter if her eyeliner was perfect when she told him they could either keep this strictly about the sex—or it was ovah.

Yeah.

Last night had been incredible, insightful, enlightening on levels she didn’t even know existed, but while Heath had held her long into the wee hours of the morning, she’d battled every possible scenario in her head—and they all led to the same conclusion.

She was going to kick the proverbial bucket.

Which made for major suckage.

How did you tell someone you just wanted to wonk? Uh, by the way, in case you were thinking you’re valuable to me for any other reason than your dangly bits—don’t be all full of yourself. If time were something she had, that’s not what she’d want at all. She’d want to do things the traditional way—the way her sappy, sentimental, old-fashioned heart always dreamed it would be if she ever found anyone she liked enough to date after her divorce.

What had happened last night wasn’t like the conservative Wanda she’d always been—the Wanda whose skin she was so comfortable in. This new Wanda was someone who was afraid not to take her one last chance at throwing caution to the wind—it was a desperate attempt to act without writing a list of pros and cons—without hemming and hawing until she’d turned it into something far bigger than it had to be. This was impetuous and unorganized—totally unplanned—and very, very scary.

But she consoled herself with the idea that maybe Heath felt the same way, and it’d all be happy clappy. Maybe he wasn’t interested in anything more than sex, and just because that made her heart clench and her teeth grind together, and that it hurt more than she was willing to admit, was neither here nor there. Last night, while Heath had slept, his even breathing rhythmically mesmerizing her, she’d decided fair was fair. She had nothing to offer but the here and now. And she wanted to enjoy the here and now, but not at someone else’s expense—so clarity was in order.

So, yeah. She was going to clarify—like she’d done this a million times before. Okay, maybe not a million, because that’d just be hootch-ified—but at least a couple. Which was just stupid because Heath knew better after she’d waxed and waned last night during their encounter.

Squaring her shoulders, she decided she’d just figure it out as she went along.

Her nervous fingers gave a final fluff to her hair before she made her way into the kitchen to find Heath dropping a brown paper bag on her counter. He had on a pair of jeans and a button-down, dark blue fitted shirt. It enhanced every good attribute he had and then some, and it left her surprised to see him in something other than his suit.

“Hey,” she called softly without looking up, going to the fridge to offer him something to drink.
