CHAPTER TEN

Before Kendra processed what Shane was saying, his mouth was on hers and his tongue found its way inside. His warm breath on her face assured her this was no dream.

He broke the kiss and whispered, “You’re even more beautiful than I remembered.”

“Shane—”

“I don’t know how I could have walked away so easily. Now I know I was a jerk too.”

A provocative sensation that had been stored deep in her memory returned to life. It had been so long. She was almost ready to reach out and begin unbuttoning his shirt when her friend Olivia’s words from their Thanksgiving morning phone call screamed in her head.

Be careful, Kendra. Be careful.

Wasn’t this how she ended up as a single mom? What was she doing? A jumble of thoughts bounced around in her brain as she felt Shane’s caress. She wanted him; she wanted him so desperately, but…

“Wait, Shane.” If he didn’t detour soon, she knew there’d be no turning back. “Please don’t.”

“Should we go upstairs instead?” he whispered.

“No—”

“Right here on the sofa?” He pulled back and unhooked his belt.

“No, stop. I’m not ready for this.”

“Oh, I can take my time. As much time as you need.”

“That’s not what I meant.” She knew he was more than ready to take her to a place they’d been years before…a place she now knew she ached to return to again. But on what terms? Pure physical release and nothing more?

This wasn’t going to be some kind of one-night stand. He was living in her house, for heaven’s sake. If they ventured back into intimate territory…

No, if she experienced those feelings with Shane again, she’d never want to return to the neat and tidy existence she’d grown used to.

Then again, what would it hurt, just this once? It would feel so good. It felt so good already, and when they physically became one, it could only get better.

It had been so many years. And Shane was so handsome. She knew his physique was amazing—she’d seen every inch of him on display in her bathroom little more than a week ago.

Why should she resist anyway? They’d done this before—many times. She wasn’t an innocent virgin. Matt was proof positive of that. And her son’s resemblance to the man atop her provided the proof that it was indeed Shane McCarthy who’d fathered her child.

She couldn’t forget the way Shane sent shockwaves of pure pleasure through her.

That was it, she suddenly realized. She’d loved how Shane made her feel.

But did she love him? They hadn’t had enough time together before for her to really be sure. Mind-blowing sex hadn’t helped her to hold onto him before. Why would things be any different now?

“No,” she said, gasping for breath as she pushed him away. “I don’t want things between us to be only about sex.”

His hands froze in mid-caress.

“Is that what you think?”

“I’m not sure. But I want to be certain before we take that step again.”

He pulled away from her and anchored himself at the opposite end of the sofa.
