find his pleasure in her body.
    Still, he managed to step back, to try to inject some sense in this situation. He held her by the shoulders, their bodies no longer touching. His body ached for hers, but he had to be strong.
    “Think about what you’re doing,” he said, his voice hoarse.
    “I am thinking about it. I want you, Remy. It’s been so long and I need this.” She sucked in a breath then. “But if you don’t want me—”
    A little sob escaped her throat, and Remy stiffened. “Christina, it’s not that. I want you. I definitely want you. You felt the evidence… But damn, honey, I want to be more than a revenge fuck, okay?”
    Her eyes glittered with unshed tears. “I want more too. But I’m scared. I’m scared it’s too soon and I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m scared you aren’t what you seem to be, and that tomorrow you’ll walk away—I’m scared of so many things.”
    Of all the possible things she could have said, this was the one thing he couldn’t resist. He slipped his hands from her shoulders, cupped her cheeks, his thumbs gliding over her cheekbones.
    “You don’t have to be scared with me, Christina. I’m not walking away.”
    “We don’t even know each other,” she whispered, her eyes still glittering as a hot tear slipped over the edge and spilled onto his skin.
    “We know enough, don’t we? There’s something here. It may be inconvenient. It may be unusual. But it’s here, and we owe it to ourselves to figure it out, don’t you think?”
    She didn’t say anything for a long moment. His heart felt like it slowed to nothing, but then she nodded and it started to beat again.
    “Stay with me, Remy. Come inside and stay with me.”
    “ Cher , there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.”

    C hristina didn’t quite know what she was saying, but she knew she couldn’t let him go. Not tonight. Not when it was vitally important somehow that she climb back on that horse and remember what it was like to be wanted.
    She unlocked the door with trembling fingers, the big man behind her making her shiver. Not from fear.
    From need. From want. From anticipation.
    She got the door open and stepped inside. Remy was right behind her, closing the door and locking it before he turned to face her again. She stood in the foyer with her heart pounding and her knees shaking, wondering if she’d bitten off more than she could chew.
    It wasn’t too late to tell him she’d changed her mind, that she couldn’t do this.
    But, oh, how could she say no to this man?
    She let her gaze run over him, looking her fill. He was tall, broad, his heather-gray henley stretching over muscles that were glorious to look at. He was clean-shaven with a strong jawline. His hair was dark, cropped short because he was in the military, and his eyes were a piercing blue as he watched her.
    He didn’t look safe at all—but he looked like someone who would keep her safe. Someone who wouldn’t let anything bad happen to her.
    Looks were deceiving. Ben hadn’t looked like the kind of man who would cheat and lie and stomp on her heart. He hadn’t looked like he’d steal all her money and make a mockery of her love.
    He’d done all those things. No, you couldn’t tell a damned thing about someone just by looking at them.
    Or by touching them. Hell, you couldn’t tell anything at all. You just took your chances every day and hoped you weren’t wrong.
    And when you were wrong? Well, you got your guts ripped out and stomped on.
    “Second thoughts, cher? ”
    Her pulse kicked at the evidence he could read her so easily. What was it about him? What was it that drew her even while she should be running in the opposite direction?
    “These days, always.”
    And that was the other thing about him. She couldn’t help but tell him the truth. She always said what was on her mind, though she was typically the sort of person who considered all the angles before speaking. Not with Remy. With him, she just kind of laid it
