It was midnight a week later and Jake was wide-awake. So he got out of his bed and wandered down the hall to the kitchen. He tried to pretend it was family concerns that disturbed him. Wes had been out at Crofthaven all week trying to stop a computer virus that Uncle Abe had downloaded with his e-mail. His father hadn’t called once but Jake knew the old man was disappointed. His mom had dropped by twice and Larissa had disappeared each time.

Too much had happened lately. It wasn’t every day that he found out he had a son. And that was partly the reason for his restlessness. But he knew the true reason was the sweet blonde sleeping in the room next to his.

Larissa was more of a woman than he remembered. It wasn’t as if he’d forgotten her in the almost four years since he’d last seen her. She’d always elicited a blend of bittersweet memories. He’d thought he’d scared her away that long-ago night with his love-making. Larissa had always been so innocent—having a one-night stand would have been enough to scare her.

He opened the fridge and stared at the contents. Larissa had brought groceries on her way home. He reached past the soy milk and grabbed the six-pack of Coors that had been pushed to the back of the fridge. He took the six-pack outside. He stretched out on one of the loungers, feeling the moisture that had developed from the night air saturate his T-shirt. He pulled it off and tossed it on the ground next to the beer.

Tipping his head back, he watched the stars. He remembered one time when Larissa had talked him into going to the observatory. They’d spent the night listening to Dark Side of the Moon and watching constellations.

Damn, that was a long time ago. Sometimes he felt years older than he was.

He heard the scrape of footsteps on the ground and turned to see Larissa silhouetted in the doorway. She wore a nightshirt that buttoned down the front. It wasn’t meant to be sexy even though it did leave her long legs bare, but he found it so. To distract himself he took a long draw on his beer bottle. As a distraction, it was a piss poor one.

Jimmy Buffett had the right idea when he’d written “Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw.” Just mindless sex with Larissa was what he needed tonight. But he knew in the morning it would have consequences.

He ached for her. And having her here in his house made that ache deepen. He’d never had a woman here overnight. With all the traveling he’d done in recent years, there really hadn’t been time for a relationship. Hell, that was an excuse. He could have had a woman the night before and he’d still want Larissa with this gut-twisting need.

He knew he wasn’t going to sleep or have anything resembling comfort until they’d spent a few hours in bed together. But he’d agreed to a platonic marriage.
