Chapter Nine

‡

They should … what the hell?

Maggie automatically checked the room to see that Evan hadn’t woken and wandered into the living room at the exact same time Cooper had suggested they should have sex.

Sex. Her and Cooper. Oh no. The slow flame of that thought had been flickering in her and now, with his words, he’d thrown gasoline on that fire. Whoosh. Damn her body and how it reacted to that look in his eyes, his dark and intent gaze, the husk in his voice. Damn how tall he was and damn his chest. Damn his cock and how strong and hard she knew it could be. And damn it all that he’d seen through her disguise and guessed how she felt.

Maggie gripped a throw pillow and clenched her thighs together to quell the throbbing.

‘What did you say?’ Maggie aimed for calm confidence but the sound that came out of her mouth was kind of shrieky.

‘Wait a minute. Isn’t that what you were going to say?’ Cooper looked confused.

‘Was I going to suggest we have sex? Er, no.’

Cooper ran a hand through his hair and then scrubbed it over his jaw, which was bristling with growth. Clearly, he was doubly confused. ‘Well … I’ve just shot my load, haven’t I? What were you going to say?’

‘I … I was going to whip your ass because … that kiss earlier today? In the kitchen? That was just showing off and you need to stop it.’

‘Showing off?’

‘Yes.’

Cooper watched her for a moment. ‘You didn’t react like you wanted me to stop.’

‘Well, I did.’

‘You didn’t like it?’

That throbbing in her thighs had been replaced with a twisting in her stomach, giant knots turning in on themselves, tighter and tighter, squeezing the air from her lungs. ‘No. Well, yes … okay, I liked it. But that’s not the point. This—you and me—it has nowhere to go and a kiss like that needs somewhere to go.’

‘Exactly,’ he said. ‘And that somewhere is sex.’

‘C’mon, Cooper.’ Maggie looked away from him, hoping the wine buzz would hit any second to take the edge off what was skittering and tingling through her body.

‘Six years, Maggie.’ He reached for her hand and pulled her to standing, then lifted a finger and teased it down a single curl, which spilled over her shoulders and down on to the curve of her breast. ‘I can see it in your eyes. You need to have sex. And I’m a man and I’m here.’

She stared at him, blank faced.

‘No strings. We’re friends now and we’ll be friends after. Nothing has to change.’ That finger in her hair teased down the collar of her shirt, lightly brushed her décolletage as it headed lower. When it met the first button, he slid a finger inside the fabric and traced the edge of her bra against the curve of her breast. Her skin zapped and tingled.

Maggie looked down where his fingers grazed her skin, shooting sparks right into her heart. She started to remember what it was like to be spontaneous, to be free to do what her body wanted.
