EDEN WAITED UNTIL SHE heard Jace hit the bottom stair before leaving the nursery. Chloe had made spectacular progress on the mural. The fairies and elves and magical winged creatures possessed such life, Eden wanted to cast off her world for the one portrayed on the wall. Maybe there her restless mind could find answers.

She stopped in the open living area at the top of the stairs and brushed her fingertips over the frame of her loom. When he finally got to talking, Jace just didn’t know when to shut up. But she knew he was right. There couldn’t be anything but friendship between them. And wasn’t that what she wanted?

A friend? A willing ear? Yes, Jace had heard. He’d even listened. But somewhere between kitchen cabinets and their kiss, she’d started thinking of him as more. A dangerous line of thought when she considered that neither one of them wanted involvement.

In the bathroom, she pulled aside the shower curtain of blossoms and ferns and turned the faucet to hot. With a splash of bath oil, the scent of apricots bloomed in the air. Eden stripped, then turned and stared at her reflection in the mirror mounted on the back of the door.

What did Jace see when he looked at her? True, at this moment, she resembled a cow. A small cow, granted. But her legs were still trim. She’d only put on about ten pounds, and Lord knew most of that had to be babies. And she’d definitely have a bustline to die for when she was through with all this.

She caressed her collarbone, ran one finger over the swell of a breast and remembered the contrast of Jace’s dark head against ivory lace and skin. Shivering with sensation, she climbed into the tub, hoping to wash away his feel, hoping to lose his scent in the steam. Neither happened. Jace was permanently imprinted on all of her senses.

Chin high in the bubbles, she propped her toes on the end of the tub. Water sluiced over her and lapped at her skin while she measured the mound of her belly with her palms.

What would it be like to carry Jace’s child? To witness the wonder she’d seen in his eyes and know he’d had a part in creating this life? What would it be like to love him? To take him inside her body? To become one with a man she wanted the way she wanted Jace?

Soapy water slid over her body like a lover’s caress sweeping a silken path between her legs. Why was she torturing herself with this erotic fantasy? Jace had made his views on life perfectly clear. He intended to remain her friend and nothing more. He wanted no part of her family.

Benjamin and Bethany were her number one priority. And like she’d told Chloe, sex was wonderful, but not without commitment. And not without responsibility. Jace wanted neither. So why did the thought of his touch play such wicked games in her imagination?

Why did
