Otherwise known as his magnificent body.
A big sigh left my lungs and I wiggled a little to get closer to him. When he groaned, it was my turn for my eyes to go wide. He was doing me a favor but he wasn’t unaffected by the feel of our bodies next to one another.
I wasn’t either.
If only things were different.
Leaning on someone and to have been lying in bed with Paxton was insanity no matter how innocent it was.
Well, semi-innocent because there was a charged, sexual energy vibrating through the air around us.
Paxton made me want things I didn’t even know I wanted anymore. Like romantic dates, someone to share stories with after a long day, and wild monkey sex.
Only the sex thing was new, I’d never had or pictured wild monkey sex with anyone before him.
Sex with my late husband had been I guess what you would call average and then it stopped all together.
There was a reason for that. I didn’t know what her name was but catching her in the bed I shared with my husband brought out a different side of me. Sure I was sad and devastated, but I was also pissed off.
That day, I’d seen red.
And it was the beginning to the end of the person I once was.

PAXTON
No way couldI have slept.
With the beautiful bundle snuggled against me, I wasn’t sure which was more torturous. Her in my arms and me making sure my body didn’t respond to her closeness or her cries I’d heard in the shower earlier. A sound I would never forget.
But maybe someday I could replace it with another sound.
A groan slipped from my lips when my mind ran through the noises I’d enjoy hearing come from her sweet mouth.
Fix Capri’s car, go grocery shopping, help clean up her apartment over the bakery, get her new clothes.I was chanting in my head a list of things I needed to do to keep my mind off how the voluptuous ass that was pressed against my groin felt.Do my laundry. Wash my sheets.Crap the thought of sheets made me think of a bed and reminded me I was in one with Capri.
I had to change the situation fast.
Capri was vulnerable and she didn’t need me having dirty thoughts about having my way with her when what she needed was a friend.
Slowly, I scooted inch by inch off the bed and away from the sleeping beauty. When I looked down at her peaceful form, my heart thumped faster.
What did I have to give the amazing woman I couldn’t keep my mind off? I may work forNo Surrenderso Portland was my home base, but my search and rescue job took me away a lot. I was also a bit standoffish. Being brought up by a mother with a mental illness left me taking care of her a lot and not thrilled to have people over at our house so my friends were sparse. And who knew what my future held when I was still trying to care for her in some ways.
I must have been crazy thinking I could capture Capri’s heart.
But that was exactly what I intended to do, because she was everything I wanted, yet didn’t know I needed.
Now I knew.
Capri wasmine.

CAPRI
I should’ve been usedto waking up alone, I’d been doing it for years now.
