Chapter 8

Cara was relieved when the night—and her date—finally came to an end.

Not that James hadn’t tried, but she hadn’t been able to get Drake out of her mind all night. And unfortunately, James sensed her distraction, turning their evening into a strained affair.

But her feelings for Drake were not normal. She still loved him, loved him with a passion that had not diminished despite their rift.

But he didn’t feel the same way for her. He had made her feel things she’d never experienced before, only to reject her. Twice.

She remembered their moment by the lake a long time ago and grimaced at how young and foolish she’d been. She had only thought of her needs at the time, not of the ramifications her actions would have caused. She had been so in love with him, had wanted nothing more than to be his that nothing else had mattered.

Damn Drake for having this hold on me! How was she supposed to move on and find love when she couldn’t even let go of her obsession with him?

She wanted a family of her own, wanted to love and be loved in return.

James drove to her apartment and they sat in tense silence. She felt guilty about how the evening had turned out. When they arrived at her place, James parked the car and she turned to face him. He appeared to be deep in thought and Cara wasn’t sure if he planned to walk her to her door, as he’d done before, or was waiting for her to get out.

But before she could say anything, he surprised her with a kiss. It ended before she could process what had happened.

“I wanted to do that all night,” he whispered.

Cara was stunned. She certainly hadn’t expected that. This was the first time James had touched her intimately and she didn’t know how to react. She did know, however, that she liked him and wanted to give him a chance.

And was desperate to prove to herself that she could forget about Drake and her love for him.

Cara didn’t know what possessed her to do it, but before she could think about the consequences, before she could make sense of her feelings, she impulsively leaned over and kissed him back.

James froze for a moment but quickly took control and wrapped his arm around her waist. Pulling her close, he fastened his mouth neatly onto hers and deepened the kiss.

She felt nothing. No tingling sensation, no breathlessness, no giddiness. None of the things that pulsed through her veins when Drake touched her.

She didn’t know what she had expected to feel or what she wanted to prove but the minute his tongue probed against her lips, Cara realized she’d made a mistake.

Before it could go any further, she pushed at his shoulders, trying to break free of his suffocating hold. But instead of releasing her, his arms tightened. He leaned further into her, making it harder to shove him away. Panic surged inside her and she pushed at him with such force her wrist stung.
