escaped her as his mouth moved lower to the top of her breast and he gently pushed her backward down onto the carpet.
He rested his body on top of hers, and his fingers moved over the buttons on her blouse, pulling each one open and pushing the material away from her skin.
She had wished for this moment and dreamed of it so many times, and never once had her imagination come close to the fire and electricity that was burning between them.
Colby felt as if he was breathing her in and coming to life, as if nothing he had ever known could compare to what he was experiencing with her. It was like waking up for the first time in a new life, and he felt a need for her that seemed insatiable. His breath was rapid and his heart raced in him as he slipped her bra from her and revealed her full and rounded breasts.
His hands closed over her flesh and his mouth overtook her nipples, dark and hard, and yearning for his tongue and teeth. She cried out softly as he pressed himself against the core of her between her thighs and she felt his solid erection moving subtly on the outside of her clothes. Her cry of pleasure ignited an increased need in him and he pressed himself against her again, making her clutch at his shoulders and arch her back.
Suddenly Tiffany's face flashed through his mind and he stopped short, drawing his breath in sharply. Her blue eyes and red lips had been like a blast of ice water on him and he pulled himself from Shannon and laid beside her on the carpet, covering his face.
Her eyes flew open and she turned to look at him in confusion. "What is it?" she whispered softly in concern.
Colby rubbed his hands over his forehead and his eyes and took another deep breath. "I can't do this to you," he said quietly.
Shannon's heart was racing in her and her body was hot with need for him, but his words pulled at her and she felt tendrils of pain rising up in her heart. "Yes, you can, Colby, it's fine with me. It's more than fine." rolled over and laid her body on top of his, leaning her mouth down to his and smiling, "I want this too, Colby. I want you." She kissed his lips softly and spoke again, "I want you so much." She said the words aloud and her dream ended.
He moved out from beneath her and sat up. "I mean that we can't do this, Shannon. We have to think of Tiffany. She's the only reason we are even here. I'm trying to save my marriage, not add to the problems that it already has. I'm so sorry." He looked at Shannon and reached his hand out to her, seeing pain and shock etched across her face, but she moved away from him.
"No, I know you're right. She's my friend. I already betrayed her by telling you everything I have, and I have no right to take more on top of that. I can't have you to myself as well, no matter what I might want." She felt sorrow and guilt filling her, lifted her trembling fingers to her blouse, and buttoned it back up.
"I'm so sorry, Shannon. All of this was my fault. All of it. It was selfish of me to want you. I would never do anything to hurt you or Tiffany, and I should never have let myself... want you like that. I'm so sorry," he repeated. She stood up and he stood up with her, reaching for her, but she pulled away.
"No apologies. It was what it was, and nothing really happened. We just had too much wine and things got a little out of hand. We're going to be okay," she said, not willing to lose him over the incident.
"We just go on and pretend this didn't happen. We stay friends, and we look out for each other." She turned away from him and went to the bathroom to put her pajamas on and ready herself for bed. When she came out he was cleaning in the kitchen and she looked at his back for a moment, and then turned and went to bed.
She fell into a half sleep, facing the wall, and when he came to bed she bit her lip and closed her eyes, determined to make their friendship work, no matter what, because she couldn't bear
