Lucy knew now. She had to know just how much Sebastián had hidden from her and how long he must have hidden it.

Sure, she hadn’t mentioned the kiss since they’d climbed into his car and begun the drive home. But only a fool wouldn’t realize the significance of a longtime friend seizing her, bending her over backward, and having her ride his thigh while his mouth devoured hers and his erection prodded her hip. And Lucy might be more innocent than most people, but she was far from a fool.

He’d been so proud of her poise, her willingness to advocate for herself, the renewed confidence shining from her brown eyes. Proud of her and starving for her, the knowledge of their brief remaining time together beating against the inside of his skull like a jackhammer.

Even if a million cameras had been trained on them, he couldn’t have stopped himself from reaching for her. If they’d been within a mile of privacy, rather than surrounded by cameras and mics and a television crew, he didn’t know whether he could have resisted inching her skirt up her thighs, sliding his hand between her legs, and finding out once and for all what sounds she made when she came. How her sex would quiver and tighten around his fingers. Whether he could push her into a second orgasm with his tongue.

Even with all those onlookers, he’d already learned too much.

Lucy tasted even sweeter than he’d imagined, burned even hotter than he’d dreamed.

How could he go back to pretending? How could he keep acting as if the thought of her imminent departure didn’t flay him alive? But how could he bare all his need, all his desperation, after over a decade of concealing both?

Even though she was looking out the window, seemingly unaware of him and his swirling thoughts, she stretched out an arm, and her hand landed on his thigh. He almost drove off the road.

Fuck, he wanted her. More than anything else in his world.

So he’d follow her lead. Let her guide what happened next. But no matter what happened between them, he’d maintain his control. He’d let her go without her knowing how much he wanted her to stay. He’d preserve some small, scared portion of himself.

He’d let her bare her soul, while continuing to hide his.

As he’d always understood, she was so much braver than him.

When they pulled into his garage, he swallowed over a dry throat. “What are your plans for the night?”

Not a statement of his desires. A question, one that might lead her out onto that emotional ledge where he was waiting, although she didn’t know it. Would never know it.

New surety glowed in her expression. “The same as yours.”

“Ah.” He unbuckled his seat belt and fiddled with his garage door opener. Anything to disguise his trembling fingers. “Care to elaborate?”

She freed herself from her own belt. “We have to take care of our four-legged family. Hairy needs a good walk, good food, and a good petting. Kitty probably needs a break from his incessant adoration.
