He’d put her off. Colin couldn’t even believe it himself. When she’d said she couldn’t or wouldn’t have sex with him right away, he was unpredictably okay with it. Of course, that got a lot harder when he saw her in a bikini and harder still when he was kissing her. But he knew it was the right move with her and, instead of feeling frustrated, Colin felt inexplicably happy lying in his bed alone.

He stretched his arms over his head and let out a sigh. Andi made him happy. The last few days were truly some of the best he’d had in a long time. For a moment, he considered climbing out of bed to find her and get one more goodnight kiss. But no, he knew himself too well. He’d shown restraint once; he didn’t know if he’d be able to let her walk away again. No, it was definitely a better idea if he stayed put.

Colin reached over to the bedside lamp when there was a knock at the door.

His body responded instantly.

He pulled the comforter higher, covering his boxer shorts. “Come in.”

The door pushed open slowly and Andi stuck her head around the corner. Her hair had been pulled back into a ponytail and gone was the sexy dress and even sexier bikini. Instead she wore her Bugs Bunny t-shirt and fleece pants. Andi had never looked hotter.

“I’m sorry to bug you,” she said. She moved slowly into the room. “But I…well…I know this sounds stupid, but I didn’t want to be alone.”

Colin groaned. “You’re killing me, Andi. I told you, I respect your—“

“No,” she said quickly. “I don’t mean sex.” She came closer to the bed and Colin could see the sadness in her eyes.

“Come here.” He sat up in the bed and gestured to the space next to him. The mattress sank with her slight weight when she sat and Colin wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close. “Is everything okay?”

She fit perfectly in his arms, and at the moment, he thought holding her was just about the best thing he could think of doing.

“I’m fine,” she said. Her voice was muffled against his chest, but she made no motion to move, so he rubbed slow circles on her back. “I was just thinking how nice it’s been to be with you. I know it sounds stupid, but for the first time in a long time, I don’t feel so lonely.”

Colin froze, his hand in the middle of her back. Andi looked up then.

“I’m sorry,” she said. “I should go.” Andi moved to get up and with one hand, Colin reached up and pulled her gently back down to the bed.

“No,” he said, his voice husky. “I want you to stay.” He stroked a stray piece of hair off her cheek and looked into her eyes until she blinked and smiled.

“I’d really like that,” she said.

Colin slid over, making room for her to crawl under the covers next to him. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d ever spent the night with a woman and not had sex with her.
