* * * *

Blake was hurting and he didn’t know why.

Thrusting his fingers through his hair, he sat on the edge of the bed and watched her sleep. She looked like an angel. Her long blonde hair was strewn across the pillow, waving and curling about her head in haphazard waves. Her lush, pink mouth soft and vulnerable, her lips parted with her even, gentle breathing.

He wished he could kiss all of her troubles away. Offer her comfort by way of his body. Not his heart, never his heart, it would be foolish to offer that to her.

The way she’d looked at him earlier, though. When she’d told him he was good for her. He wanted to say she was good for him in return. But the look on her face had scared him. She’d appeared so hopeful, her eyes shining, her expression dreamy. As if he was the reason for that dazed look on her face.

It was getting too heavy between them and it made him nervous.

This was why he didn’t do serious relationships. This was why he didn’t have any type of relationship anymore whatsoever. They caused him nothing but heartbreak. Nothing but trouble, nothing but pain and he was deathly afraid what might happen when it was over with Blake.

Because it would be over, of that he had no doubt. It couldn’t last, no matter how much fun they were having, how compatible they were. They were from two different worlds, worlds that clashed and collided with each other, but once the battle burned out, it was done.

Their moment together was dimming. Time was coming to an end and she’d need to return to DC soon. She didn’t want to go. Neither did he.

They both much preferred their simple little cocoon versus the bustle of politics and big city life.

What would happen when the relationship ended? Would Blake freak out? When they returned to Washington and he resumed his normal duties and she her regular life, would she chuck him under the bus and reveal their affair? It would ruin him. He’d probably be taken off presidential and White House protection forever. Transferred out, reassigned to some shitty, boring town where nothing happened. Or worse, they’d ship him out of the country and put him on dangerous counterfeiter detail.

Even though Blake was a grown woman with a mind of her own, they’d still blame him. And he was willing to take full responsibility, despite the humiliation. The vice president would know Mason had sex with his daughter. He didn’t think he could face the man if he ever found out.

Mason sat there, felt the edge of the mattress sink lopsided with his weight and he rested his hands over his face. What had he done? Why had he taken such a risk? All for a woman he wanted to get naked with—had it been worth it?

He remembered the raw emotion he’d seen on her face just moments ago, the subtle tremble of her hands and arms when he drew her into his embrace.
