revealed his secret, what would he see in her eyes then?
    He pressed the button to close the smoked-glass barrier between them and the driver, giving them privacy. As soon as it closed, he drew in a deep breath and turned to her.
    “Kate-”
    Apprehension clouded her eyes and she rested her hand on his arm, her delicate touch stirring his heart.
    “Wait, Matt. Let me say something first.”
    “Go ahead.”
    “About what happened this morning … and last night.”
    Now that they were leaving their quiet retreat, did she regret what they’d done?
    “I think the fact that we wound up in bed twice in the space of twelve hours says something. I was wondering if you think … “—she gazed up at him, her wide eyes showing her deep vulnerability—“that maybe we have a chance. That we could try again.”
    He frowned. “You mean, a romantic relationship?” Damn it, there was nothing he would love more, but … he couldn’t. It would never work.
    But how could he tell her that? Especially with hope shining so brightly in her eyes?
    He took her hand in his. “We tried two years ago, and as much as we cared about each other, we knew deep inside that it really wasn’t working.” And it never would, especially after he owned up to what he’d done.
    “I know that was largely my fault. I should have handled things better. I never intended to jump right into the Dom-sub stuff with you, but that first time when I asked you if you liked dominant men, you got so excited, and that excited me. I jumped into it right away. And you seemed to enjoy it so much. But I pushed you too fast and too far.”
    He drew in a deep breath. He should have talked to her about this long ago. Maybe if he had when they’d still been together, he could have done something about it. Maybe he could have salvaged their relationship.
    She gazed at him with hope shining in her eyes. “I know I said I was apprehensive about my submissive nature with you, but maybe we can work it out. After losing you for two years, then finding you again … after feeling the magic we have together. I just think it’s worth a try.”
    “No, Kate. Trust me, it just won’t work.”
    From the disappointment in her eyes, he knew she thought he just didn’t want her anymore and he had to use iron will not to pull her into his arms. But that would be wrong. It would only hurt her in the end.
    “Now, as I said, I have something to tell you. It has to do with Ileana.”
