Much later that night, Zach climbed the stairs of the lodge. He waved at the Schwartzes, but kept moving, not giving them a chance to question how he'd fared with the "babes."

With a great deal of trepidation, he knocked at Hannah's door.

He would have given anything to avoid this, but he couldn't. He needed his duffel bag.

Hannah opened the door. She'd been sleeping, he could see that now, and he made a sound of remorse that she waved away. "No, it's okay.I'm … glad you're here." Her voice was husky. She wore another T-shirt. It fell off one creamy shoulder and his mouth actually watered.

With the light behind her, she was perfectly silhouetted. Beneath the soft, worn material of her shirt he could see the outline of her lush breasts, the darker tips of her nipples. As he watched, they tightened, puckered, pressing against the cotton as if begging for attention.

Swallowing his groan, he met her gaze. "I just needed some clothes."

"For the couch in the office."

"Yes."

"Oh, Zach, stay here."

"I can't." At just the thought, his body surged to attention.

"My couch is far more comfortable. Really," she said.

"I don't want the couch. I want you. And I don't want to want you." To torture himself, he came closer, leaning in to softly kiss her. "Good night, Hannah."

With one last longing glimpse of what he couldn't have, all those long limbs and sweet, warm body, he brushed another kiss along her temple.

Oh yeah, there was the way to maintain his distance. "Sleep tight," he whispered and grabbed his bag.

"Zach… This is silly. Stay. I promise to behave."

He looked at her, all warm and cozy and flushed. With all he had, he wanted to stay too, wanted to bury himself deep in her warm, giving body, wanted to love her until…

And wasn't that the kicker? The true problem? He could imagine himself loving her, not just for one night, but forever.

He couldn't.

She wouldn't.

"Stay."

She could have no idea how much he wanted to do that. Or maybe she did. Maybe she felt the same and was too afraid to admit it, as was he. Two lost, lonely, uncertain souls.

God, he was so tired. It was all catching up to him, resulting in an exhaustion he couldn't seem to shake.

"Why, Hannah? Why should I stay?"

She seemed startled. "Because I think you'll be more comfortable—"

"Truth."

"Okay, because I want you near me." Her voice lowered to a whisper as she repeated it. "I want you near me."

Damn. He couldn't resist that. He wanted to be near her too.

He made his way to the couch, waited while she went back to bed and shut her bedroom door.

He wished it had a lock on it. With a hard-on to end all hard-ons, he lay down and stared at the ceiling, willing sleep to come.

It took a long time.
