Anson was disappointed his brother’s Jeep wasn’t parked in front of the house when he got home an hour later. It was nothing for Hunter to hop on the road and head back to Atlanta at a moment’s whim. Sometimes Anson didn’t even know his brother had left the state until he got a call from him telling him he was back in Atlanta.

The lights were off, but there was a definite glow in the windows that let him know candles—and plenty of them—were lit. Anson may not have believed in love being as deep and profound and lasting as Mona did, but there was one thing about relationships he knew for sure. There was no way he could marry a woman, live under the same roof and have a sexual relationship with her, while his desire was for another.

He would never cheat on any woman he married—that was all about his character. But to lust after another—that was all about a serious breakdown in the relationship. Before it even begins . . . again.

Knuckling up his will for a confrontation, he shut the car off and reached for his crutch, leaning against the passenger seat, before slowly making his way across the drive and up the stairs to unlock his front door. “Well damn,” he muttered. The multitude of filled glass votive candles on the floor was enough to heat the foyer. The layers of red roses making a trail down the hall was so thick that he couldn’t see the floor beneath it.

His first instinct was to ignore the red rose road and go hide out in his office. He noticed the roses led to his bedroom door and not the guest room where Kyra had been stationed all week.

Knuckle up, Anson. Knuckle the hell up.

Carefully he limped his way down the hall and, surely enough as he reached the pool room and continued past it to his bedroom, the roses and candles awaited his every step. Before he could reach for the door, it opened. Kyra filled the doorway in nothing but a few strategically placed petal bunches.

“Welcome home,” she said with a beguiling smile.

He knew from the soft glow emanating within the room and the sweet scent of roses that more of the same was to be found inside. “Umm, Kyra. I thought we would get a chance to talk first,” he began.

She had been reaching over to stroke his cheek, but her hand paused. She tilted her head to the side. “Talk? You want to talk?” she asked, waving her hand up and down the length of her body and then turning to jiggle her buttocks before swiveling back to face him.

“I just want to apologize for sending you the wrong signals about us,” he said.

Kyra leaned back so far to stare at him that he thought she was squaring up to hit him.

“I really appreciate you coming to help me out this last—”

WHAP!

He was looking dead at her the whole time and still didn’t see the slap coming.
