Chapter Nine

Julianna jumped a few inches off the ground at the loud knock on the door. Glancing towards the clock, she saw that Cole was early. Again. As she walked to let him in, she made a mental note to start adjusting her expectations. Every time Cole told her that he was going to be somewhere, he was really going to be ten to fifteen minutes early.

Not that it would matter after Saturday. Once Anthony came home, this—whatever it was—ended. A clean break. That was the only way she knew she would be able to come out on the other end of this in one piece emotionally.

Reaching for the door handle, she noticed that her hand was shaking. The entire day, all she had been able to think about was turning in her “freak pass.” Getting in. Getting some. Getting out. She’d made a list of pros and cons. Although stopping this now, before anything had really gotten started, definitely had more checks in the pros column, there was one check in the con column she couldn’t ignore: ending her sex drought with Cole Carson.

As mature and selfless as she’d tried to be while raising Anthony, she was still a woman with needs and desires. She’d put them on the backburner, but Cole had switched them to the front burner and turned the heat on high. Her body was burning with a frenzied craving only he could quench.

Megan’s words kept coming back to her. She had three more nights that she was, for all intents and purposes, off mom-duty. She could use that time safely and stop seeing Cole or she could make the most of it and explore her deepest fantasies with a partner so perfect that she couldn’t have cast him better if it really were a Red Shoe Diaries episode.

At lunch, she’d deleted her pro-con list. She was doing this. Decision made.

Taking a deep, steadying breath, Julianna opened the door. Cole was on the other side, holding flowers and a red envelope from Redbox. Her eyes ran over the swells of his biceps, which were pulling against his white T-shirt, down the vein popping out on his forearm, and over his large hands. She’d done a little research on quarterbacks and found out that most of them had larger-than-normal-sized hands. Those hands. They made her feel safe and secure and, at the same time, aroused and on edge.

“God, you look beautiful.”

Julianna felt her cheeks blush at Cole’s compliment.

Today, she’d gone on yet another shopping adventure at lunch. This time, she got an appropriate dress to proposition someone in and suitable undergarments should the propositioned take her up on it. It had not been as easy a style to capture as one might think. She’d tried on at least a dozen dresses before landing on this one. It was a red, spaghetti-strap, cotton dress that had a fitted bodice and waist before it flared out. It landed at the middle of her thighs, and she’d paired it with tan wedges to give her legs a long, lean appearance.
