Chapter Nine

Drew had never expected this. He’d never planned on Josselyn feeling so perfectly wonderful in his arms. He hadn’t imagined he could feel a passion so hot and wild that he’d totally lost all sense of time and place.

Now as he lay with her warm body tucked into the curve of his, her head nestled on his shoulder, he closed his eyes and tried to digest the soft, protective feelings inside him. Tried to figure where this relationship was going to lead them.

Being with her made him happy. She filled up the empty holes inside him in a way he hadn’t thought possible. And he didn’t want any of it to end. Plain and simple, he needed Josselyn. He needed to know she would always be around for him. But that wasn’t the way life worked.

“The chicken is probably ice-cold now,” she murmured.

Opening his eyes, he gently combed his fingers through the damp, tousled hair lying upon her bare shoulder.

“We can always heat it up in the microwave.”

“Mmm. Sounds good,” she said. “Only I don’t want to move. Not yet.”

He skimmed his hand over the curve of her hip and down one thigh, all the while thinking her skin was like a piece of heated satin. Just touching its smoothness was an erotic experience.

“I’m glad. Because I don’t think I can. Having you here in my arms feels too good to move. I can have food any ole time,” he murmured against the crown of her head.

She twisted around so that her face was pressed to the side of his neck and her breasts were brushing his chest. Although he tried to ignore it, desire flickered deep in his belly. How could that be, he wondered, when only moments ago, he’d been certain she’d drained every ounce of energy from his body?

“When you called I didn’t have any idea you had this on your mind.”

“I didn’t,” he replied. “I came out to apologize for ending things so abruptly the other night, that’s all. Why? Did you think I had this planned?”

“I wouldn’t mind if you had. All that matters is that you’re here and we’re together. Really together.” Tilting her head back, she took a slow survey of his face. “Speaking of the other night... I hope you’re not having any of those regrets you were talking about.”

Smiling gently, he touched his forefinger to the tip of her nose. “No regrets. No guilt.”

She reciprocated his smile. “I’m so glad,” she murmured, then gently trailed her fingertips across his cheek. “You’re good for me, Drew. And I hope I’m good for you.”

Her words pricked his heart, and without even knowing it, his hand tightened on her waist. As though his hold on her would always keep her close to him.

“You’re wrong, Josselyn. You’re better than good for me. You’ve shown me my life isn’t over. And in case you haven’t guessed, you’ve made little Dillon very happy, too. He talks about you all the time. And wonder of wonders, you’ve managed to make him want to read for the sheer entertainment of it.
