Chapter 14

Alana dragged her loveliest linen suit out of her armoire. Why she’d agreed to go with her cousin Parker to the garden party celebrating Prince Charles’s tour of the county’s organic farms, she didn’t know. But Parker had a thing for royalty, and she was his ticket in. At least he’d owe her one. Maybe he’d keep an eye on things at the ranch while she was in France. That thought cheered her.

She shrugged out of her robe but as it fell away, she detected a scent that was unmistakably Matt’s. She’d slipped the robe on after he’d rocked her world with his amazing body and more amazing moves.

She balled the robe between her hands and raised it to her face, inhaling the scent of sex and man. She hadn’t had a man affect her like that since... well, since no one. No man had ever taken her to the heights that Matt had. Not so quickly and easily. Marcel had been a good lover, but his studied moves paled in the face of Matt’s raw and hungry passion. Multiple orgasms in the space of a few hours? The man had treated her well.

She’d expected sex with Matt to be good, but she hadn’t expected it to blow her doors off. She wasn’t sure if she was terrified or happy that he was in a class by himself.

Usually a night of sensual pleasure left her feeling blissful, but Matt had stirred her up, and along with the stirring came a fathomless ache, like a wound being poked at, a wound she didn’t want to open, even if doing so might make it heal.

Physical attraction and great sex was one thing, but her relationship with Marcel had proven she could only handle the slightest bit of light romance. That was her limit. Clearly she needed to keep things with Matt casual—no strings. No entanglements. No feelings.

But maybe she could’ve found a better way to tell him.

His reaction had stunned her.

Hell, her reaction stunned her and was still shaking her. In unguarded moments that morning she’d found herself imagining what it would be like to live around a man like Matt, to make plans and enjoy day-to-day moments with him.

But it was more than her thoughts about the future that made her wary. She’d known of love, but had never felt its power, never felt or even understood the draw that her girlfriends spoke about in quiet moments, that she’d read of in books and seen in movies. She’d never crossed from erotic pleasure into... into what? Love? She couldn’t believe she was thinking about love. Surely there was some middle ground between physical pleasure and love.

She didn’t trust relationships, and she sure didn’t trust that she had what it took to keep one going in a healthy way.

It wasn’t just courage she lacked; she was pretty sure she didn’t have the backbone for living so intensely, for dealing with the responsibilities that a committed relationship required. Years ago she’d sworn
