CHAPTER ELEVEN

GUS PULLED HIS truck up to one of the cabins and let the vehicle sit there and idle.

He had messed up. Big-time.

He found the edge of his control, right when he’d been so aware of how badly he needed it.

He... He’d messed everything up.

He’d come right at her, unleashed all that pent-up hunger on her.

He shifted, his body still hard as a crowbar. Okay. He hadn’t unleashed all of it.

But he’d touched her. And she’d been like silk between her legs. So hot and glorious, and wet for him.

Not to mention those gorgeous curves of hers. He’d been in heaven. Her body was better than he’d ever imagined. Sweeter than anything he could’ve ever dreamed of.

She was a wonder. A revelation.

And he...

He wasn’t supposed to know that.

It was supposed to stay very deep, a burning bright ball of desire, regret and anger in the center of his being, and someday, he would die. And he would never, ever have to deal with it. Not ever.

That was what he wanted.

That was what he needed. He got out of the truck, and went into the cabin. He flicked on one of the lights, and looked around. There was a bed and there was beer, but it would be a decent enough place to stay the night while he figured out what to do. While he got his head on straight.

He’d made Alaina a whole lot of promises, and he’d broken a few of them.

Mostly, just promises to yourself.

Yeah. There was that. But he’d been mean to her. And he’d made her cry.

And he’d have to deal with all that tomorrow. It was the best he could do.

Granted, right now, the best he could do wasn’t much.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, then lay back, stretching out on it, staring at the ceiling.

And that was when the cabin door was flung open.

“All right, you yellow-bellied, lily-livered pile of horse manure, how dare you do that and leave me? How dare you? Were you trying to prove what you accused me of earlier? That I’m just a grasping, horny slut who can’t control herself? Did that make you happy, Gus? To embarrass me like that? And then walk away, because you don’t even want me, and you don’t even care?”

He sat up, and looked at her. Her eyes were bright, her hair askew. She’d buttoned up the dress again, but it was crooked.

And she was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.

“You think I don’t want you?” he rasped.

“Yeah. Because you laughed at me when I asked you about sex. And because you just...you just did that to me, and you left.”

“You...you foolish little termite,” he said, getting up out of the bed and making his way toward her. “Why the fuck do you think I give a damn about you and your baby? Why the fuck do you think I just lost it in a grocery store parking lot over a couple of pretty boys talking to you. Why
