Chapter Five

“Trish, baby, are you okay?”

She didn’t move from the edge of the bathtub. Having planted herself there some twenty minutes earlier, she’d only just got the flow of tears to stop. Hearing the concern in Dane’s voice warmed her heart. It also embarrassed her. After running over all the harsh words that had been thrown out, Trisha realized that she’d not only admitted that she loved Dane, but also confessed to fantasizing about him while being with another man. Facing him now would be beyond awkward. In fact, the idea of never laying eyes on him again sounded better than having to explain herself. She was head over heels in love with Dane. A man who’d kept his distance from her in the romantic sense from day one. A man who dated tall, beautiful women, with rock-hard bodies and icy cold stares. A man who had come right out and laughed in her face at the idea of dating her.

We’re a breed apart…

“Trish?”

Wiping her cheeks, she fought for control. “I’m fine, Dane. You should probably head home. It’s getting late.”

“If you think I’m leaving you alone tonight then you don’t know me at all.”

“Really, I’m fine.”

“Trisha,” Dane droned out. Rarely did he use her full name. He was aggravated.

“Just go. I need to be alone.”

“Fine.” His sudden acceptance of her wishes took her by surprise but she didn’t question him. If he was willing to go so she didn’t have to face him, that suited her.

Trisha sat on the edge of the tub waiting until she was sure Dane had gone. Sighing, she stood slowly and stripped out of her comfy pajamas. The evening had her neck and back so tight that nothing short of a hot bath would help. Gathering up her bath supplies, she rolled her eyes when she found her towel shelf empty.

She tossed the bathroom door open and came face-to-face with Dane. His blue eyes raked over her and his jaw clenched. The hard look that passed over his face not only made her feel as though she were most hideous woman in the world, it also scared her. Quickly, Trisha tried to slam the door shut, but Dane threw out his hand and held it open.

His nostrils flared and he looked so intent, so lethal that she yelped.

“Dane?”

“Damn you, woman.” He closed the distance between them fast. “I’ve spent years fighting what I feel for you and when I’m at my weakest, you not only say the words I’ve only dreamt of hearing you say, you walk out and flaunt that gorgeous fucking body of yours too! Do you have any idea how hard you make me? My dick aches for release every moment I’m around you.”

“Wh-at?” Trisha shook her head and tried to step back.

He grabbed her arm and held it as he brought his face down to meet hers. Skimming his free hand over her breast, he smiled as her nipple hardened. “You like that, don’t you, Trish? Look how quickly you react to me.
