CHAPTER 9

SAM SAT THERE for a moment, his hand still at the ready to catch the ball. She threaded her fingers through that hand and waited.

Finally he spoke. “Where’s my ball?”

“Sam!”

She stood and approached him from the back of the couch, leaning against his legs. With her weight against him, she lost her balance and braced herself on his thighs. Muscular thighs. Now she was farther away, but at least facing him.

“Didn’t you hear me?”

“Yeah, I heard you.”

She dropped her chin, then finally said, “And?”

“Either I’m delusional or you are. Or you’re playing games.”

“I’m not playing games. I want us to give this another try.”

In one swift move, he grabbed her wrists and yanked her forward. She was now face to face with him, the tips of his moustache hairs tickling her nose. She was lying on his body, being enveloped in the warmth of him. Hey, maybe this wasn’t going to be so hard after all.

“You’re out of your mind.”

“Maybe. No, I’m not. Just being around you has made me realize what a fool I was to let you go.” Ooh, Maxine-the-first was a fool, too. Sam’s blue eyes sparkled, but it wasn’t exactly with passion. She lowered her voice, meeting that gaze with honesty in her eyes. “I never stopped loving you.”

“I think this danger thing has gotten to your head. It puts a new slant on your life when someone wants to end it. You’ll get over it.”

“I don’t want to get over it. Don’t you see? Haven’t you noticed the way I’ve been looking at you?”

He shrugged. “Yeah, but at first I thought it was my imagination. Figured I’d gone too long without some female company. When I out and out accused you of staring, you didn’t deny it.”

She shook her head, lifting her mouth so that she felt those tiny hairs over her lip. “I wasn’t trying to be obvious. I just couldn’t help it.” Her heart was beating so fast, it pulsed in her ears. She wondered if he could feel it, too. She didn’t quite like the smile he had as he narrowed his eyes and tilted his head.

“Well, I would have never thought in a million years I’d find myself in quite this position again.”

“It’s not altogether bad, is it?”

“Parts of me aren’t griping.”

She could feel those parts. Slowly, beneath her stomach, that male mystique was growing. She had done that. Her cheeks were burning at the pleasure of that knowledge.

“What about the rest of you?” she chanced asking.

“The rest of me isn’t too sure about all this.”
