take. Love was difficult at the best of times. Loving someone who may leave again was impossible. “You just can’t come back, Joe, and expect me to fall in your arms any time you look at me.” Which was exactly what Maz wanted to do. There were times when it was hard to remember this was the same man who had ripped her heart out of her chest and drop-kicked it into a wall making her wonder what the hell she could have done to keep him in her life. Looking back, it was madness for Maz to have thought that way but love did that to the sanest people.
    “Don’t you feel anything for me, Maz?”
    Oh yeah, she did. Every gooey, sweet, sticky emotion she had inside was for this man alone. “I don’t just fool around with anyone.” That in itself had to prove something to him.
    “Is that what we’re doing? Fooling around?” Joe arched his eyebrow in disbelief.
    “Having sex then.”
    “Yes, and something else.”
    “I don’t want to get caught up in you again.” There. It was out. It was much better to lay it on the line. All his crazy talk about coming back for her and wanting to marry her was fine for him to say but she needed more. Maz needed reality. Was Joe her reality? Or was he always going to be the boy from home she pined over? Hell. Do I even love him? Maybe I’m just as infatuated as I was when I was twenty.
    Joe made no move to touch her. “Still scared of what you feel?”
    “Yes.” And it was love. Blind Freddy could see that.
    “So what do you propose, Maz? I need to be with you, to touch you.” Joe’s eyes were honest on hers. “I know you feel the same way too.”
    Oh yes . “But I don’t want anything more than that.”
    “Really.” Joe’s eyebrows arched with cynicism.
    “Yes, let’s just enjoy ourselves and make no plans.”
    Joe reached out to touch her. “I’m not leaving, Maz.”
    She bobbed away in the water. “I may not be staying.” Even as Maz said the words, she knew it would never have occurred to her to leave Amberwarra Falls.
    “Where would you go?”
    I have no idea . “I need to get out and see stuff. I’m too insulated. I only know the same people. Maybe there are better people out there.” Even as she said the words Maz doubted that.
    “Men you mean?”
    “Maybe.” Again, that had never occurred to her either.
    “So in the meantime I’ll do?”
    “Yes.”
    Joe grinned at her. “Liar.”
    Maz sighed. “I have no control with you.” Joe could do what he wanted with her and she welcomed it no matter how much she said didn’t.
    “So take some.”
    Okay. That had never occurred to her. “How?”
    “Do whatever you want with me?”
    That was a fascinating thought. “Really?” Her mind went back to that moment in the hotel. She had enjoyed that and she had felt in control.
    “Yeah, drive me wild, Marilyn.”
    That could be fun.

Chapter Seven
    Maz knelt between his spread thighs. “If you laugh at me I will slap you.” She had no idea what she was doing but she kind of liked that. After Joe’s offer for her to take control, they had climbed from the pool and gone straight inside the house. Her swimsuit had hit the ground but her hands had kept him at bay.
    “This is about me, remember,” Maz had told him as she ordered him to sit down and be quiet. She remembered that moment in the gym when she had been totally out of control when his mouth descended on her pussy. Maz wanted to see the same reaction from Joe.
    “Oh trust me, I am having the most deadly serious moment of my life here. The thought that you would walk away from me now kills me.”
    Her hands reached out to encircle Joe’s cock. “You don’t feel dead.” She loved the feel of his penis inside her body, on her breasts, in her hands. It was hard yet velvety soft and the urge to take the length of it into her mouth and suck was overwhelming.
    “May I?” There had been times Maz had wanted him so badly that she could barely concentrate on what she was doing. Was Joe aware that
