Leon had managed to keep his hands and lips off women for five years. There had been nights when he’d thought he would go around the bend with sexual frustration, but aside from ogling the occasional pair of legs or a really nice rack, he’d managed to keep his libido firmly leashed.

Until last night when he had completely lost his head.

Was that what celibacy did to a man? Because he shouldn’t have gone from zero to a hundred in the space of a sigh. He’d still been catching up on sleep from pulling an all-nighter aboard the trimaran. And he’d been in a terrible mood, peeved about a lot of things, not least that one old friend had betrayed him while the other clearly couldn’t stand him. His own hypocrisy annoyed him most of all. He was stung that Zach still resented him over their broken deal, but he had no intention of forgiving the opportunistic doctor for taking advantage of him. Yes, he was a blackened kettle calling out the pot.

When he’d settled on the bed next to Tanja, he had only wanted to turn off his brain and sleep. He hadn’t even allowed himself to fall deeply asleep. He’d been listening for the baby so she wouldn’t wake Tanja.

Tanja’s restlessness had tripped something in him, though. He’d woken in a rush of sexual awareness that he might have ignored if their conversation hadn’t turned so intimate.

Why had he felt compelled to tell her he’d been forgoing sex? It wasn’t that he felt embarrassed or proud of it. He had never worn sexual conquests as a badge so a lack of them didn’t prickle his ego.

But it had been a profoundly intimate thing to reveal. She had said that small thing about her parents and he’d had a flash of admiration for them. Of wishing he was a tiny bit like them instead of so much like his own father.

Then she had practically dared him to prove they still had chemistry, and the next thing he’d known he’d been trying to sate the most powerful sexual hunger he’d ever experienced. He’d been close to losing himself like an adolescent—and they’d had layers of clothing and blankets between them. What would have happened if they’d been naked?

He knew what would have happened. With a flood of heat straight to his groin, he vividly recalled Tanja’s pale, lithe form straddling him the first time they’d made love. It was a favorite image in the highlight reel that he had replayed thousands of times since their very short marriage. He had believed it was nothing more than an embellished memory. They’d had fun for a few weeks, but sex with Tanja hadn’t been any more profound than his other intimate experiences.

He had clung to that conviction until last night.

Now he was seeing his disinterest in other women in a different light. In the last five years, anytime he’d felt a glimmer of attraction toward someone new, he had reminded himself he was married.
