TEMPTATION

Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation

~ Luke 11:4 ~

EIGHTEEN

Temptation. It’s pure temptation, Ruby reminded herself, fighting the realization that in Oliver’s arms she belonged. She knew she should resist his smoldering glances, the raw desire she saw in his eyes to possess her. But a persistent voice urged her to break free from everyone’s demands and honor her own needs for once.

She had forgiven Carlos for his transgression with his campaign manager last June, and she had accepted his explanation that it was a meaningless fling that would never happen again. Wives and husbands were always forgiving each other, it seemed.

Besides didn’t she owe it to herself to prove beyond all doubt that what she felt for Oliver was a mistaken belief, a lingering legacy of their unresolved past, before she committed herself to Carlos for the rest of her life?

Absolutely, she resolved. She would claim this chance encounter and make it a night to remember—and forget.

“The casita is closer,” she’d told him as she guided him to the guest house on the edge of the estate. It was her private escape. The one place where she could truly be herself. The only place they wouldn’t be discovered.

He didn’t protest. In fact she sensed by the way his body pulsed he was positively pleased. Secretly she was pleased too. She could do as she pleased and be answerable to no one.

They would have just this one night. That was all, she vowed as he carried her past the floating clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers and plump clumps of hibiscus surrounding the guesthouse. With their melody of exquisite blue-lavender and riotous pink colors they were at once both peaceful and intense.

Breathe. Breathe, she told herself as Oliver opened the door and lay her gently upon the bed. Eight years had passed and, while she was no longer a virgin, she knew instinctively that sex with Oliver would be explosive.

Mother have mercy, she muttered under her breath, biting her lip as he pulled his fitted tee-shirt, damp from the shower of rain, over his head , and then strode out of his jeans.

As he stood before her, his toned, taunt, rock-hard muscles glistening under the moonlight, her heart halted. He was sleek-skinned, powerfully made—and huge. Everywhere.

Her lips curved into a tight, anxious smile. She couldn’t control the tension that stiffened her muscles and dried her throat. Her body pulsated with anticipation as he moved toward her, his eyes narrowed in primal desire.

Succumbing to temptation and deciding to sleep with Oliver had been a foolish, uncharacteristically impulsive idea. She was way out of her comfort-zone. Out of balance. Out of control.

Snap out of it, Ruby reminded herself. You have to do this. It’s just about tonight. No longer. No shorter. You have to rid him from your psyche. Permanently.

She inhaled a long deep low breath through her parted lips and nestled into the soft cotton sheets as her confusion lifted, buoyed by the knowledge that like a short summer fling, there would be no next time.
