CHAPTER TEN

SHE DIDN’T KNOW what to do.

Ben watched the quicksilver shift of expressions cross her face the second his other leg touched hers—puzzlement, realization, concern and finally uncertainty.

“Tracy.” He leaned forward and held out his hand to her, keeping his voice low and coaxing. “I know it hasn’t been easy coming here—working with me. And I wasn’t even sure I wanted you here. But it was the right thing to do.”

The right thing to do.

And what about what he was doing now?

He had no idea if it was the right thing or not. But the second she’d invited him into the tub he’d wondered if this was where she’d been heading the whole time. Especially when he’d started shucking his clothes and he’d seen the slightest glimmer of hunger flash through her eyes. She’d quickly doused it, but not before it had registered for what it was. He’d seen that look many a time back when they’d been a couple.

The question was, should he push the boundaries? She was vulnerable. Tired—she’d admitted it herself. Wasn’t he taking advantage of that?

He started to pull his hand back when she startled him by reaching out and placing hers within it, saying, “I know it was. So is this.”

Without a word she held on tight and tugged, a movement that sent her sliding across the tub towards him. Her feet went up and over his thighs, hitting the curved plastic on either side of his hips. Her forward momentum came to a halt, and his libido took up where momentum left off.

Raw need raced through his system, replacing any ethical questions he’d had a few seconds ago. With a single gesture she’d admitted she wanted him. At least, he hoped that’s what it meant.

“When do you need to be back to work?” he asked.

“I’m off until tomorrow.” Still two feet away from each other, her gaze swept down his face, lingering on his mouth.

Until tomorrow. That meant he had all night. He forced himself to take a long, slow breath.

He smiled. “You know, we should have thought of putting a tub like this in our back yard. It’s almost as big as a pool. The only problem with it is you’re still much too far away.”

“Am I?” Her thumb swept across the back of his hand beneath the water. “I’ve come halfway. Maybe it’s your turn now.”

“Maybe it is.” He pushed himself across the space until, instead of being separated by feet, they were now inches apart. “Better?”

She smiled. “Yes, definitely.” She released his hand and propped her fingers on his shoulders, smoothing across them and sending fire licking through his gut in the process.

He curled his legs around her backside and reeled her in the rest of the way, until they were breast to chest and she had to tip her head back to look at him.

“So, here we are,” he murmured. “What do we do now?”

“Do you have to ask?”

His lips curved in a slow smile. “No, but I thought I should check to make sure we were on the same page.
