DADDY ON DEMAND

He couldn’t bear the raw, naked emotion of need.

Despite weeks of iron will and brutal lectures to keep his hands to himself, he crushed her to him and hid his face in the fragrance and silkiness of her hair.

Collin swallowed painfully. “Thank you for being here…for doing this. I couldn’t – ”

He kissed her as he had in a dream, with tenderness and care, and sighed with relief when she opened to him. When his tongue touched hers, she murmured softly and let herself lean against him.

“Brina…I gotta go potty.”

It was Sabrina who eased back and called down the hall, “I’ll be right there.” Then she looked at Collin and asked softly, “Are you OK?”

He could only offer a barely perceptible nod, and then she was off.

“I don’t know if I’ll ever be OK again,” he finally replied to the empty room.

DÉJÀ YOU

“Just lie here with me?”

Surprise riddled through him.

Erin’s complexion blazed red. “I know it seems weird, but…”

Don’t be an idiot, Nate’s brain warned. Do not get in bed with this woman. “If you’re sure.”

“I’m not sure of anything. Except that I don’t feel like being alone right now.” Fumbling and formal, they moved side by side on the bed, her beneath the covers, him on top. For a few agonising moments, they remained that way.

Erin cleared her throat. “May I…may I put my head on your shoulder? Oh, God. Never mind. This was an idiotic idea.”

“Shh.” Nate slid his arm beneath her and urged her head onto his shoulder. “It’s OK. Friends, right?”

“Right.”

He felt her nod, closed his eyes. They might be strangers, and their meeting unconventional, but damned if she didn’t feel absolutely perfect in his arms.
