Excerpt
#3:
Heather’s hand trembled as she reached
up to insert the key in the lock. Zack took it from her and opened
the door himself.
“It wasn’t easy for me to tell you
those things today. I always worry people are going to…”
When she hesitated, he cupped her chin
and raised her gaze to his. “Go on,” he said, hoping he was ready
to hear the rest.
“I worry people will judge me.”
Judge her? All he wanted to do was hold
her. Defend her. “I’ll stop by tomorrow. Take you out for
dinner.”
“You want to be seen with me? After the
reaction I got at the diner?”
“That was a few, ignorant people. Don’t
pay any attention to them.”
“Still…I’m not ready to have dinner
with a man, Zack.”
Not after the suffering she’d endured
from her ex-husband.
Zack hid his disappointment, and
downplayed the date-aspect of his offer. “It won’t be anything
fancy. Just two pals getting together for burgers. Besides, we need
to plan our next move in the investigation. Remember?”
Zack stepped closer, put one hand on her
shoulder. Damn, she looked so vulnerable. “If you need me in the
meantime, call my cell.”
“Thanks.”
He kissed her forehead. A friendly peck.
One you might plant on your mom to wish her happy birthday. At least,
that’s what he’d intended. With Heather standing so close, and
the warmth of her skin on his lips, and her scent filling his lungs,
he wanted more.
He slid both arms around her and dipped
his head, before his brain clicked in and he realized what a stupid
move it would be.
They were buddies. End of story. And she
was too messed up right now for him to confuse the situation. She’d
responded to his hug. Might even kiss him back. Maybe fall into bed
with him, as she had that night a year ago—seeking pleasure from a
man’s touch, instead of the usual torture.
But it was wrong. She wasn’t ready.
Mentally, he kicked himself for even thinking about it. For needing
it so bad.
