What a lovely day this has been. The sun is setting in a fireball of oranges and reds as Blake drives us back to town. We spent hours in the water, drying in the sun, and making love. It was blissful and relaxing and a million other things I don’t dare allow myself to think about. I don’t want it to end. I’d offer to make him dinner, but I don’t want to overstep his boundaries. If I push for more than he’s able to give, he’ll run away. I don’t want him to run away. I want him to keep coming back, but only if that’s what he wants, too. So I bite back the urge to suggest more.

We pull up to my house far too soon, long before I’m ready to say good-bye.

My heart surges with excitement when he gets out to walk me in. But my excitement fades when he stops at the door and draws me into his arms. “Thank you for a fantastic weekend.”

With my mouth suddenly dry, I force myself to smile up at him. “Thank you for not turning me down the other night.”

“Even a machine would be a fool to say no to you,” he says with that small grin I’ve become so fond of.

I hate that he sees himself that way. If anything, he feels too much and he loves too hard if he still feels the loss of Jordan as intensely as he did when it first happened.

Then he kisses my forehead and breaks my heart. It’s over. I got exactly what I wanted from him—more soul-shattering orgasms than I ever could’ve hoped for. But that’s all it’s ever going to be, and I have to find a way to make peace with that.

I force my arms to drop from around his waist and take a step back out of pure self-preservation. “I had a really nice time.”

“Me, too.” He cuffs my chin playfully. “Take care of yourself, Honeycomb.”

The nickname makes me want to sob for what could’ve been. My hands are shaking when I try to get the key in the door.

He takes it from me and does it for me. He steps back to let me go in. “Honey—”

I place my hand on his chest. “Don’t say it, Blake. I’m okay. I promise.”

Looking down, he nods, but I notice the tension is back in his jaw. “I’ll see you around, darlin’.”

“Yes,” I say, forcing a cheerful tone. “You will.” I close the door and slide down the back of it, dropping my head into my hands as a sob erupts from my chest. God, I’m such a fool! Lauren warned me against this very scenario, and here I am, crying my heart out for a man I knew could never be mine.

It was so good with him, so easy and familiar, yet new and exciting, too. How often do you find all that in one man? For me, never. And if only it had just been the sex that was amazing I could’ve moved on from that without feeling crushed.
