guard by the question for a second, then smiled when the old memory sprung forth. “Of course.”
    It had been before she’d gotten pregnant. They’d traipsed out there for a late-afternoon study session and had gotten stranded when a sudden spring storm had unleashed its wrath upon them. Their clothes had gotten soaked, and they’d ended up cowering under a picnic shelter, listening to the pinging of the hail on the metal roof. She’d been slightly terrified that a tornado was on its way, but then Seth had taken one look at her drenched state and had kissed her. Hard. Making her forget about anything besides him and the way he felt against her.
    Before she’d realized what was happening, they’d been pulling at each other’s clothes, dropping the sopping garments onto the grass below and kissing every bared spot of skin. Anyone could’ve walked up on them. But that had only made it more exciting. Within minutes, Seth had gotten her naked and spread across the top of the picnic table.
    He’d had a hunger in his eyes that had made her feel like a goddess, like he’d never looked at another woman quite that way before. And he’d taken her fiercely. None of the gentle stuff they’d been doing up until that point. For the first time, she’d seen the side of him that she’d heard about. That bad boy guitarist who played in a garage band on the weekends.
    She’d ended up with splinters in her ass, but the best orgasm of her young life.
    Leila adjusted in the limo seat, the memory alone inciting a surprising heat curling at the base of her spine. “How could I forget that day?”
    Seth’s smile was wistful. “I felt like shit that night after I went back to my dorm.”
    Her brow wrinkled. “How come?”
    “Because I’d let you see that guy I didn’t want to be anymore. I’d treated Leila Jane Austin of
the
Austin family like she was some girl I’d met after a show.” He shook his head. “You deserved better than that.”
    She frowned. “It’s not like I told you no or didn’t enjoy myself.”
    “I know. I just wanted to be better than that for you. A gentleman.” He sighed. “But now . . .”
    “Now, what?”
    He leaned over to the backpack he’d set on the floor and pulled something out. When he straightened again, he handed her a book—one of her romance novels. One of her favorites, actually. What in the hell was he doing with this thing?
    “Now I realize being that kind of guy to you may have been a mistake. Maybe I haven’t given you enough all these years. Maybe you needed to experience more.”
    “Come on, don’t do that. The ‘what-if’ game won’t do either of us any good.” The words came out tired, flat.
    “This isn’t a game, Lei.”
    She glanced down at the book, rubbing a thumb over the cover, and then looked back at him. “I don’t understand.”
    He laid a hand over hers. “This weekend we’re going to leave everything at the door. Work. Kids. Stress. We don’t even know each other anymore because we’re drowning in everything else. So I’m taking everything out of play for the next few days, and we’re going to start over. I want us to see if we can find the fire we had that day by the lake.” He slipped her wedding ring off, the sunlight glinting off the small diamond.
    She watched in confusion. “What are you doing?”
    He held the ring for a moment in his palm, staring at it, then curled his fingers around it and pocketed it. “I’m giving you the gift of freedom and your fantasies.”
    She lurched back against the seat, unsure whether it was the limo driver or Seth’s words causing this reaction. “You’re
what
?”
    He slipped off his own ring and tucked it in his other pocket, as if he couldn’t bear the thought of them together. “You’re relieved of wedding vows for the weekend. These next few days are about having the freedom to explore. You can decide on Sunday if you want to put yours back on.”
    Explore?
She gripped the book harder,
