make a mistake.”
    â€œWhat kind of mistake?” he asked.
    She shook her head. “Nothing. So how about nine-thirty for breakfast tomorrow?”
    â€œSure. But I’m not letting you change the subject,” he said.
    She bit her lower lip. “I just want to make sure we both know what we are doing.”
    â€œI do,” he assured her. He took her hand in his and led her back out into the lobby. It was odd to think of the passionate embrace they’d shared happening so close to the real world and strangers.
    â€œYou sound confident but there are things you don’t know, Cam,” she said.
    â€œThen tell me about them,” he invited. “I want to know everything this time, Becca. No halfway for us.”
    â€œI’m not ready to talk about all my secrets,” she said.
    â€œI’m not going anywhere, so when you are ready wewill talk. There are things that take time to find their way out,” he said.
    â€œDo you have secrets?” she asked, then shook her head wryly. “Of course you do. You are a complex man.”
    â€œAm I? I think I’m a simple man with simple needs.”
    â€œAnd what are they?” she asked as they approached the front door of the hotel.
    â€œRight now, they involve you in my arms. But that’s not happening tonight.”
    â€œSo what are you going to do?”
    â€œI think I’ll go to my room and pour myself a drink.”
    â€œDrinking is never the solution,” she said.
    â€œI know that, but it will take the edge off my wanting you.”
    â€œDoes that really work?” she asked.
    â€œI have no idea, but I’m going to give it a try,” he said.
    She turned and then leaned up and kissed him really quickly. Just a brief touch that sent sparks through his already aroused body.
    â€œThank you.”
    â€œFor?”
    â€œStopping and not pressuring me. It would have been very easy for you to change my mind,” she admitted.
    He knew that, but he wasn’t going to say it out loud. “I want more than one night with you, Becca.”
    She tipped her head to the side to study him. “I hope so. I’m not that temporary woman I was back then.”
    â€œI can see that. I hope you will learn that I’m a different man, too. I’m ready to settle down with the right woman,” he admitted.
    â€œI’m not sure I’m that person,” she said.
    â€œNo pressure. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve changed, as well.”
    â€œI could tell right away. No BlackBerry in your hand during dinner,” she said.
    â€œWith you by my side I’m not focused on work as much as pleasure.”
    She flushed. “You are very good about pleasure.”
    â€œThank you.” He kissed her hard and deep. “See you in the morning.”
    She nodded and walked to the car. He watched until the car drove away and then turned and headed back upstairs. He needed to know more about Becca but he had to be careful. He didn’t want to be the man to hurt her…again.

Four
    B ecca woke early, as she always had since becoming a mom. She fed Ty his breakfast and then set him in his playpen while she checked her email. Last night she’d managed maybe two hours of sleep. Her dreams had been plagued with visions of Cam. The dreams were an odd mix of passionate embraces and tearful explanations. And today she felt very apprehensive about inviting him to her house for breakfast.
    But it was too late. Cam and she had too much between them for her to just let him walk out of her life this time. And she couldn’t move forward until he knew about Ty. It was going to be hard…how did you tell a man that he’d fathered a child with you nearly two years earlier?
    She hoped he’d be accepting and understand whyshe hadn’t contacted him earlier, but she wasn’t too confident of that.
    The paternity suit he’d mentioned yesterday bothered her.
