Mallory stayed in bed for a good, long while, wondering if she could follow through with the sensual promise she’d made Ben.

She’d never been shy where sex was concerned. Being coy or cautious wouldn’t bring a woman any satisfaction, so she’d always been vocal about what she wanted. Some guys might find that a bit brazen, but she refused to fake an orgasm just to stroke some guy’s ego. Not that she’d had a lot of lovers. Five, to be exact. Yet she’d taught each of them to be conscious of a woman’s needs, telling or showing them what they could do to please her.

Would Ben like that? Would he appreciate her open attitude about sex? Would he be the kind of man who felt intimidated by a strong, assertive lover?

Standing right next to that concern was the one about how he’d react when he saw her chest. Mallory had a little more shape now thanks to the stretcher, but the scar remained, appearing an angry red next to the pale white of her skin. And there was no nipple.

Since there was nothing she could do to change it, at least until the reconstruction, she refused to let a stupid scar be an excuse to put Ben off. She’d tossed the challenge at him, and she had every intention of following through.

There wasn’t a single one in the house. When Jay had finished fetching his stuff, Jules had helped Mallory purge the house of any reminder of him.

She and Jules burned them while toasting each other with Diet Cokes.

She’d never expected to need condoms again, especially not after the mastectomy.

Maybe Ben would remember. He seemed rather savvy where romance was concerned, so he had to practice safe sex. Although the thought of him in the arms of another woman turned her stomach, she was honest enough with herself to acknowledge he wasn’t the kind of man who had trouble attracting female company. No doubt he’d been… active since his divorce. Surely he’d remember to pick up a pack of Trojans. There wasn’t an abundance of places to get good coffee in Cloverleaf, but there were two CVSs and three Walgreens in the small city. Grabbing some rubbers would be simple.

Good heavens, she was going to make love with Ben.

Mallory scrambled from the bed to brush her teeth, slap on some deodorant, and comb her hair. She was just coming out of the bathroom when she heard the garage door rising. Her heart jumped in her chest, pounding hard and fast as excitement raced through her.

This is really happening.

Should she jump back on the bed and try to take a seductive pose? Should she just strip and let him get a
