CHAPTER EIGHT

Dana had never been accused of being a coward, but she felt very cowardly at the moment She wanted nothing more than to stay in her room and hide all day, yet she’d heard R.J. go downstairs some time ago. He’d be wondering where she was, thinking he’d cowed her with his detached, emotionless brand of sex.

What had she been thinking when she’d made that horrendous bargain? She wasn’t a woman who could indulge in meaningless sex. Especially not when it was with a man she’d loved for so many years.

She sat at her dressing table and brushed her hair, then expertly twisted it up at the back of her head. A few pins, and she felt more like herself.

Except that she had a hickey on her neck.

She stared at the small mark with appalled fascination, remembering R.J.‘s mouth there, the heat of it, the nip of his teeth. He’d made a low, guttural sound of intense satisfaction as he’d come inside her, his whole body rigid, shaking, hot. She shuddered and squeezed her eyes shut.

Dana Dillinger, plain Jane extraordinaire, had a hickey from the most eligible bachelor in Austin, Texas!

She almost giggled. Then she remembered her name wasn’t Dillinger anymore, and she groaned.

Her whole body bore signs of his lust—lust for her. Though they’d been covered by her nightgown, her breasts were tender from bis hands and mouth and the press of his heavy chest after he’d climaxed. The insides of her thighs felt achy from the strain of opening wide for him, gripping him, and later, from trying to push away from him.

He hadn’t hurt her, not really. In fact, for the most part she’d felt a pleasure beyond any she’d ever imagined. But the depth of his response had left her shaken.

Because it had only been physical for him.

Last night, all pretenses of the civilized businessman had vanished, replaced with ruthless determination and unrestrained desire. He’d shown no inhibitions, no reserve. She knew R.J. well enough to understand he could be that way, but she hadn’t expected him to be that way with her.

And she knew she couldn’t deal with it.

If he’d been suave and practiced and gentle, she could have held back her emotions and taken what he offered. But R.J. had been sensually intrusive, touching her in ways she hadn’t been prepared for, ways that should have been about love, not just sex.

Knowing she’d had only part of him had left her feeling more alone than ever.

She shook her head at her fanciful, old-fashioned conclusions. No, it would be better if they went back to his original plan. Last night as she’d lain in her new bed, painfully aware of R.J. sleeping only a short distance away, she considered everything with new eyes. She loved R.J. enough to do anything in her power to help repair his reputation—anything except pretend she didn’t love him while they were intimately joined. That was asking too much.

She couldn’t feign an emotionless, loveless physical attraction that would allow them to sleep together.
