may have been the one to make the break, but once he had, Jody had moved forward with steely determination to prove to everyone that she and the girls would be fine. And they were. She was. Except now she had a thing for a younger man and she didn’t have the first clue what to do about it other than run for the hills. If she couldn’t do that then she’d ignore it until it went away. Only he wasn’t going away. He was getting closer, and with each step he took she wanted to take her own towards him and away from him.
    Could she be any more screwed up?
    A knock on the door made her jump and her eyes popped open. She strode over and squinted through the peep hole to see a uniformed staff member. This would be a good opportunity to observe the food and beverage service. Jody opened the door and held it wide. “Come in.”
    The young man headed for the small table jammed into the far corner. It shouldn’t be there, not when there was so little space in the room that the beds were almost touching. He placed the small tray down and turned with a small folder and pen. “Sign here please.”
    After a quick check of the bill, Jody signed and handed the folder back. “Thank you.”
    “You’re welcome. Enjoy.” He let himself out with a quiet click of the door.
    Grabbing a pen and paper, she made some notes about lack of interaction with guests. While the young man was professionally presentable and polite, he didn’t engage in any conversation that wasn’t necessary, and she wanted to be sure to bring it up during the sessions tomorrow. She wandered back to the table and lifted the lid on one of the plates. A steaming-hot pile of crispy fries filled the plate. The smell alone had her mouth watering and her tummy rumbling. Maybe she was a little peckish. Lifting the second lid, she saw that Dan had ordered a meal for each of them.
    “Hey, no pinching mine. You’ve got your own.”
    Spinning around, she found Dan out of the bathroom, towel slung precariously low on his hips, standing not two feet away. He was barely covered. His thighs, thick with muscle and sprinkled with a smattering of dark hair, were on display. Glancing up, she saw his ripped abdomen with a tantalising trail of dark hair running down from his belly button to disappear under the towel. Jody tilted her head to the side in her effort to figure out what was wrong.
    Oh my God! It wasn’t a bath towel wrapped around his hips. It was a hand towel! Good Lord, if he moved too fast the thing would be on the floor in a flash and she’d be getting flashed. Turning back around, Jody stared at the plate of fries and tried to catch her breath. Having a nearly naked Dan in front of her did a number on her libido, but the thought of a completely naked Dan had her pulse racing, her breasts tingling and her sex swelling. She felt his heat behind her and knew he stood close enough to touch. If she turned back around…
    He reached around her and grabbed a handful of fries. She heard the crunch as he sank his teeth into them. Heard the moan of delight as he devoured them and reached for more. His arm brushed hers and she could smell the soap on his skin, the damp heat still clinging to him from the shower. Taking a step to the side, she avoided contact and grabbed some much needed breathing room.
    “These are great. Aren’t you going to eat any?” he asked as he picked up another handful.
    “Um, yes, but I want to get a drink first.” Scooting past him, being careful not to brush up against him at all, Jody exited the room to the terrace where she got a drink from the mini fridge. She pressed the cool can against her hot cheek.
    “Jody, can you grab me one while you’re there?” Dan called through the door.
    She closed her eyes and breathed deep. As much as she wanted to hide out here, she couldn’t. She’d just have to suck it up and deal as Leigh was fond of saying. The thought of her girls made her smile. They were the two most important people in her world
