Chapter 8

Alex

Alex knew she was in trouble.

She definitely knew it when Landon pulled her so close she was forced to jump and hike her legs around his waist. Yes, forced, she told herself as their lips continued to collide passionately. She had no choice in the matter, none at all . . . not if she wanted to keep kissing him.

Which she did.

And that was why she was in so much trouble.

Landon spun them both around. He was taking them somewhere, but Alex wasn't sure where . . . she could barely concentrate on anything outside of the hot crush of his lips and the hand roaming along the curve of her ass. A shiver raced through her as she let herself be touched, anywhere and everywhere, by the infuriating man she had allowed to move in and throw her life into chaos. Hadn’t she been the one to talk so fastidiously of boundaries? Why hadn’t she ever outlined any of those for where his hands were allowed to go? And what her own legs were allowed to wrap around, for that matter?

They were out of the kitchen—out of the living room. Fuzzily, she thought she knew where he was headed. It was the same room she had caught him outside on more than one occasion, late at night, when she rose unexpectedly to go and get a glass of water. Twice, she had discovered a shirtless Landon on the other side of her door; once, he had played it off like he was only headed to the bathroom. The other time, he had mentioned his burns . . . and Alex knew it was an excuse to throw her off the scent of his real motive. Landon never brought up his burns unless asked.

Now, he shoved open her bedroom door and maneuvered her down onto the bed. The mattress sagged beneath their combined weight. Alex's head spun as she found herself both cradled and cratered beneath a well-muscled male body. She had convinced herself that four years wasn't that long a time to go without sex, but she was hyperaware of everything that came into focus now: the familiar creak and settling of the bed, the rising temperature of the room . . . and Landon's powerful body eclipsing hers, seemingly everywhere at once. The breadth of his shoulders could fill the whole house they now shared.

It's too much. It's too soon. The panicked thoughts cannoned around her skull. Alex listened to them, paralyzed, even as his fingers slipped beneath the collar of her shirt and his lips followed.

Four years is too soon?

You can't do it here. You can't do it in the bed you shared with Henry.

I threw the old bed out.

You're still betraying him.

Around and around it went, a constant carousel of doubt and mistrust of herself. Of fear. Well, Alex wanted off the shitty carnival ride for one night. She wanted to scream and beat her fists against the furniture (old or new), rip Henry's picture off the refrigerator, and give her body what it so desperately needed.
