Read Saving Sarah for Free Online

wasn’t sure what he could possibly be thinking. She wouldn’t blame him for running out and never looking back. Not very many men would want to mix themselves up with the drama that was establishing itself in her life. Of course, not many people would even be having this conversation on the first freaking date.
    “If you want to leave, I understand.”
    He looked up so quickly she had to blink twice to see if she’d seen correctly. “Sarah, I’m not going anywhere. I’m sorry you thought the worst. I was just thinking about what I should do about Devon. He seems just as determined to be in your life as I am. You have to see that.”
    “No, he just wants to clear his conscience. After that, I’ll probably never hear from him again.”
    Rich laughter made her jump. “Don’t be so sure of that. He’s alph…he’s used to being in control. He won’t back down easily.”
    Sarah stood and walked to the stove. She didn’t agree with Gavin, but she didn’t feel like arguing. She stirred the sauce while her mind played over the events of the last twenty-four hours. Damn, what had she got herself into?

Chapter 6

    Dinner was delightful while Sarah and Gavin shared random stories, but everything felt off. They cleaned up the kitchen as Sarah went through her thoughts. Too many memories she wanted to share had Devon in them, and she sure as hell didn’t want to mention her adventures during Bets. It felt weird having to pause to think about something else to say.
    Arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her body into Gavin’s. His breath against her neck caused heat to pulse through her body. Slowly, she turned around in his arms to look at him.
    “Did you enjoy dinner?” His forehead rested against hers as he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. She noticed he seemed to do that a lot.
    “Yes. I had a great time.”
    Soft lips pressed into hers, and his taste exploded inside her mouth. Before she knew it, she was clutching to him, breathless. The hardness of his cock pressed into her stomach. She loved that feeling. Knowing how much he wanted her gave her the control she loved.
    “I think I should go. I don’t want you to think this is why I opted for us to stay here.”
    For reasons Sarah couldn’t fathom, she gripped to him tightly. “Don’t leave. Stay the night with me. I don’t think this is the only reason you’re here. I just…” She trailed off, shocked by the way she was acting. This wasn’t like her. Where was the independent woman who didn’t need a man?
    “I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me. If you want to leave, I understand.” She stepped back. A feeling of being physically torn caused her heart to ache, just like with Devon. A part of her didn’t want him to leave, ever. It was too much, too soon.
    “It’s not that I want to leave. I just think, for now, it’ll be better. If you want, we can do this tomorrow. That is, if you don’t have other plans.”
    She looked up. “No, no plans. Same time?”
    “Sounds great.” He kissed her lips softly and then walked to the door. She was half tempted to drag his ass back and lock them both in.
    The moment he was gone, Sarah collapsed on the couch. What in the hell was wrong with her? Maybe she was losing it. Sarah clicked on the TV and settled for the preview channel. It wasn’t long before she grew bored and turned it off. Both Devon and Gavin kept popping into her head, and she wasn’t sure what to do about it. Should she call her ex and get that part of her life over with so she could move on with the new part?
    As much as she didn’t want to, she knew what had to be done. It wasn’t a conversation that could happen over the phone. She’d have to find him and confront this problem face to face.
    Sarah stood and walked outside. The truck he drove was parked three spaces down from hers. She walked along the sidewalk until it turned, and she stood in front of his door. He opened it before she knocked.
    “I was hoping you’d
