kiss was more intense. His arms went around her and she felt his firm hand on her waist. He had turned in the car to reach her and was almost glad that the bucket seats inhibited him and forced him to slow down because he wanted her so much that he could barely restrain himself. The kiss deepened and their tongues found each other as his hands caressed the soft fabric of her sweater. All thoughts were lost and they sunk into the kiss as if leaving the world.
    A light from a passing car startled them. Aliyah put her hand to her hair and Brad straightened up slightly. They were still in each other’s embrace and their lips were close, but their brains had cleared slightly and they realized that they were moving very, very fast. Brad suddenly looked uncomfortable. A shadow passed over his face and his took his hands away from her body.
    “Aliyah, I’m…” He paused and tried to clear his head. He was so hard and he wanted her desperately. “I’m sorry if I took advantage of this… situation.”
    Aliyah was surprised by his reaction to the kiss. She had been happy about their chemistry and thought that he would want it as much as she did, but he was obviously uncomfortable and rapidly backing off. She couldn’t understand why he pulled away. He obviously needed space, but he had been the one to pursue her at every turn, even though she was the one to put the words in his mouth when he was nervous.
    Brad lightened the mood with a smile. His beautiful green eyes lowered to the curve of her breast and the smoothness of her chest and neck. “God, you’re beautiful.” The heat in his words was obvious.
    Aliyah took her hands from his shoulders and gave him a reassuring smile. If he needed to take it slow, she would respect that. She could see that he struggled to reign in his emotion and desire and so she helped him by backing away and giving him her most wholesome wink. “Well, well, well. It would seem that we kiss well!”
    Brad was relieved that she had let the mood change. Even though he felt a strong pull from his hardness, he gave her a chaste peck on the cheek and said, “All right, I’m going, I’m going. I… want to see you again.”
    Aliyah looked at him and said, “I think you can tell that I want to see you, too.” This time she did give him her phone number. He got out of her car and went to his own. They drove away from each other thinking of that passionate kiss.
    His confusion had mounted as he drove home. He wondered how he could have developed such strong feelings for this woman so quickly. He had never fallen so fast and he was worried about what to do next. He’d told himself that he was merely observing Aliyah out of curiosity. He never imagined that he would develop feelings for her.
    At home, Mary was usually asleep at this time since she was an early to rise, early to bed kind of lady. Tonight, she was sitting up with her knitting and watching reruns of her favorite old sitcoms. There was something comforting about seeing her doing this familiar thing after his surprising evening.
    The large house was full of people sleeping or going about their nightly rituals. He could hear the cook rattling around softly in the kitchen. Her insomnia was well known to everyone in the house, but she managed to keep the noise down.
    Mary had known that her boy would need her when he got home. Some kind of maternal instinct gave her clues even though she had never given birth to a biological child of her own. Brad and Mary talked the cook into make some of her famous hot cocoa and the Brad slipped some Bailey’s into his cup. They sat by the fire in the cozy sitting room and chatted mindlessly for an hour. Brad was thankful for the distraction and the talk with Mary helped him to quell his desire. They parted with a soft hug, and withdrew to their rooms on opposite sides of the enormous house.

    Aliyah woke the next morning with a combination of joy and apprehension. She couldn’t imagine what would
