either.”
    “Why not?”
    “Because I want it for myself.” Her clit tingled thinking about the way Chad felt tangled with her in the hot tub, his erection full and throbbing against her ass. “Besides, it’s really not right for this ad.”
    “Yeah, right.”
    The waiter stopped to take their order, and all the while, she kept scanning the restaurant and glancing into the lobby, but Chad never materialized.
    “You know, sweetness.” Kirk picked up a long hard buttermilk roll and smiled. “He’s really hot and you did take his picture.”
    “You don’t have to remind me of my own rules.” She pushed the salad around on her plate. “It’s just that he’s different.”
    “How?”
    “Real. He seems real.”
    “So did Eddy when you first met him.” Kirk took her hand in his. “Don’t think with your pussy.”
    “You’re a pig.”
    “I’m being honest. You’re thinking about what it would be like to feel his hard cock inside you, not what it would be like for the rest of your life.”
    “You make it sound like all I’m ever after is a piece of ass. I’m not really like that.”
    “I know.” Kirk rubbed his thumb across her hand. “You’ve got the biggest heart of anyone I know and you fall too quickly for all the wrong reasons.”
    “It’s just that I want it all.”
    “You and every other person on the planet. It will happen for you when you least expect it. But not in a hotel with some guy you don’t even know.” He patted her hand, then squeezed. “You’ve only be divorced for eight months.”
    “My marriage to Eddy ended the moment I caught him with that bimbo in our bed.” She shoved her plate aside. “Why do all good men have to be gay?”
    Kirk chuckled. “Your brothers are good men.”
    “Only because they have great wives. Where did I go wrong?” She held up her hand because she knew the answer and didn’t need Kirk reminding her that Eddy had been married when she met him, making her the other woman. It had been the fantastic sex that sent her falling so hard and fast she didn’t know which end was up until it was too late. She should’ve seen it coming. “Do you have any condoms?”
    “Awe, come on. Don’t do this to yourself.”
    “I want to relax. No relationship. Just hot, dirty fucking.”
    “You don’t know how to have a fling.”
    “Just be a friend and a give me the flipping condom.”
    “You’re asking for trouble,” he said, then pulled out his wallet.
    “Thanks.” She handed him some cash. “Take care of the bill. I’ll see you in the morning.”
    She collected her stuff and didn’t look back because she could feel Kirk giving her the evil eye.
    Once in the comfort of her own room, she wrote a little note to Chad, offering him a nightcap if he wanted, or maybe breakfast. Or possibly a little of both. Regardless of what Kirk said, a little hot Texas fling might be what the doctor ordered.
    After attaching the note to the disk with his pictures, she hurried out into the hall and shoved it under Chad’s door. She stood there for a few moments, her heart hammering in her chest. But when he didn’t come out, she headed back to her room.
    She’d go home tomorrow to an empty house and an empty bed, story of her life. Actually, that was what their marriage had been like. All she wanted was a normal life. Well, somewhat normal, but she wondered if she’d ever have it at this point. Chad had been interested in her, or at least his body had been, and right now, his body would be enough.
    Instead, she flicked on the television, climbed between the sheets and tried to forget about Chad. The ball was in his court. So why couldn’t she rid the feeling of Chad’s hands on her soft skin? Or the deep rumble of voice from her head? When she fell for Eddy, it had been his scent. Now Chad and his voice. And how the hell could she fall for a guy in twenty-four hours?
    She believed in love at first sight, in this case, at first hearing. Okay, so, she didn’t
