Chapter Twelve

The first morning she woke and didn’t feel like getting out of bed, Tasha didn’t say anything. It was too frightening to consider if she was pregnant, and too heart-wrenching if it turned out she wasn’t.

Instead, she put it up to not being used to having a younger guy in bed with her. Confessing he could wear her out? The thought made her smirk—he certainly seemed to be trying hard enough, both in and out of the sack. Over the past month she’d lost five pounds from their newly established exercise program, not to mention all the sex. Combined with their decision keep junk food out of the house, for the first time in four years she fit into her favorite designer jeans.

It was like having her own personal trainer twenty-four/seven.

Progress continued on her house construction, contrasting with a notable lack of progress when it came to mending fences with Lila. Her emails went unanswered, and she knew damn well Lila had to be screening her calls. The hurt inside ached at times. Tasha still hoped that whatever had gotten into Lila would smooth itself out, but until it did, there wasn’t much more she could do.

She was surrounded by stubborn people. But at least when it came to Max, his ability to dig in his heels made sense, even when it drove her crazy. Ever since he’d moved in and they were forced into constant communication, there was no leeway given over things he thought were important. It made it tough to maintain emotional distance from the guy, because he always backed up his arguments with logic she couldn’t deny.

While the physical attraction between them was clear, and man was she ever enjoying the attempting-to-get-pregnant part, she wanted more space. Not only because it had been over five years since she’d had a roommate of any kind. She needed some privacy, and soon, before the lines of friendship got even more blurred than they already were. Waking up to find herself cuddled up tight to him, or opening her eyes to discover him staring at her, gently stroking her hair back from her face—no way. No freaking way could she let that continue.

It was too dangerous. Screamed of all those other times she’d trusted someone with her heart and they’d turned around and taken advantage of her. Maybe Max would be different, but all she would acknowledge right now was his commitment to the idea of family. Not to her. Not yet.

She had to guard her heart. Time for desperate measures.

Tape measure in hand, she eyeballed the second bedroom of the apartment. It was crowded with her exercise bike and the tables Max had set up to put his computer equipment on. “You know, I think if we got one of those Murphy bed things we could fit it in here.”

Max looked up from where he was working, confusion blurring his features for a second. “Are you expecting guests?”

“No, for you. Until we move into the house and you can have your own room.
