Excerpt:
Kat’s
mouth dropped open at Tristan’s bald statement.
Naked and between them.
Oh, god,
yes. That sounded wonderful.
She
wanted that. And everything that went with it. All she needed was the courage
to take what they offered.
Go ahead. Do it. Say yes.
Tristan
watched her, his expression intent and a challenge in his eyes. From the very
first, he’d been upfront about exactly what that he wanted. Which was her.
Nothing
in her life had prepared her for Tristan. No one had ever pursued her with such
straightforward commitment. It made her ache for everything he wanted to give
her.
At the
same time, it made her wary of giving herself over to him and having the rug
pulled out from under her later.
That was
a game her mother liked to play. Give with one hand and take away with the
other.
Kat had
learned to be wary of anyone who offered her anything with no visible strings
attached. There were always strings. Something else her mother had taught her.
Her gaze
skipped to Adam, who had all sorts of hidden strings. She wasn’t sure she had
the necessary tools to deal with him. He held his emotions so closely in check,
she sometimes wondered if he felt anything at all. Well, anything besides lust.
If they
continued this affair, she’d have to learn to deal with that. And decide if she
could live with a man who only wanted her sexually.
If Adam
didn’t commit… If he was only in it for the short-term...
Could
she live with knowing she would be only a bed partner to him?
Can you live with knowing you
didn’t even try?
