Chapter Eight

“How old are you?”

“What the hell kind of question is that?”

Walker was lying behind her, tracing patterns on her stomach with the tips of his fingers. They were naked and tangled together, breathless and both a little sweaty. Walker had been doing a very good job of helping her deal with her remaining inhibitions over the past few nights.

And now, post-orgasm, she just felt warm and sleepy. Not ashamed.

Although she wasn’t looking forward to driving back home either, so that meant a little bit of delay by pillow talk was on her agenda.

“It’s a getting-to-know-you, normal kind of question,” she said. “I’m sleeping with you, I ought to know things like that.”

“To make sure I’m not too old for you?”

“To make sure I’m not being a cougar.”

“Not even close, Miss Larsen, but it’s an interesting idea.”

“How not close am I?”

“Why does this matter, Sarah? Honestly.”

“Because.” She sat up and looked down at him, at his perfect face, his perfect chest, his perfect . . . everything. “I want to know the man that has made me one heck of a gleeful fallen woman. Is that so weird? I want to not be sleeping with a stranger.”

“I’m not a stranger,” he said, tucking her hair behind her ear, “am I, baby?”

“Fine. Not as such. Since we’re sitting here naked and you were just inside me.”

“Yeah, that’s pretty friendly where I come from.”

She blew out a long breath. “The point is, Walker, I told you about me, and now I want to hear a little about you.”

“Boring shit. I’m thirty-six, I was born in Texas, I grew up in Texas, I got married in Texas and I got divorced in Texas. Then I moved here.”

“How old were you when you got married?”

“Twenty-nine,” he said, short and fast, like he was resigned to answering questions, but only if he could behave like he was being interrogated.

“And when you met her?”

“Twenty-seven. I was young, dumb and kinda naive. I’m now old and not in the least naive. Possibly still a little dumb, though.”

“And what happened with your wife?”

He let out a harsh breath. “It’s not important.”

“I’m curious. Look I told you about my draconian grandmother and my sex shame issues. And I have done things with you I’d never even imagined before. So, all things considered, I think it would be nice if you shared some of your issues with me.”

“Fine. Everything was fine. I mean . . . it’s not like we had sex all the time, it’s not like we were perfect. But we were fine. She was . . . fine. And then she started to drift away from me. She didn’t want me to touch her. Didn’t want to talk about it. She started not taking very good care of Kayla. I would go out and work on the ranch and come back and find Elise sleeping and Kayla crying because Mommy hadn’t fed her lunch. But I thought we’d be okay. I thought she was having a hard time.
