“I—I don’t want toloseyou.”

He leaned across and gave her a soft kiss. “You haven’t lost me. Just give metime,okay?”

“Allright.”

As she speared a meatball and brought it to her mouth, she took a deep breath. Time. It was the one commodity that she could give him. For now. But she couldn’t wait forever. Her daughter needed her. They’d already been apart far too long. If Drew didn’t decide soon, she’d have no choice but toleavehim.

Chapter11

The next morning,Drew followed Cindy into the shower in an effort to speed up their appearance atbreakfast.

“If we take a shower at the same time, then we might have a chance at getting down there before everyone else does,”hesaid.

“They’re all going to know that you spent the night with me,” she said. “I don’t think we’ll be foolinganyone.”

“True.” He grinned. “So maybe we should linger hereabit.”

He dipped to kiss the plump softness of her lips. He couldn’t get enough of her. Although he couldn’t decide what to do about their relationship, his bear was one hundred percent sure—he wanted her in every position in every room of thehouse.

Drewchuckled.

“What’s so funny?” sheasked.

“Nothing.”

“Tellme.”

“I was just thinking about how you bring the animal out in me.”In more waysthanone.

“I have that effect on you, huh?” sheasked.

“You do,” he admitted, without telling her the whole truth. “You make me want tomaulyou.”

“Soundskinky.”

“It could be,” hechallenged.

“As kinky as sex in theshower?”

“You call that kinky?” He archedabrow.

“I guess it’s not thatunusual.”

“Itcouldbe.”

He backed her against the wall, grabbed her hands and pinned them overhead. Her breasts heaved as she took deep breaths. The enticing visual was enough to get him harder than granite. When he shoved a knee between her thighs to part them, shewhimpered.

“You’re going to make us super late,” she said in a breathyvoice.

“For breakfast, maybe. But not forlunch.”

She squealed as he grabbed her under her thighs and pushed her up againstthewall.

“You’re going to drop me,” sheshrieked.

“Nope.”

“I’m tooheavy.”
