mind. Stay here? No way! She just didn’t get it. Didn’t she understand his attraction to her bordered on insane and if he had the chance, he would have her in his bed in a heartbeat?
    “You can’t stay here, Abby.”
    “I don’t understand.” She walked back into the kitchen to make her own sandwich as she continued to try to convince him. “I can stay in the other bedroom and make sure the animals are fed, keep the house picked up, no big deal. We can be like roommates.”
    Chase rose from his chair. Roommates? She can’t be serious? Friends with benefits, maybe, but roommates, not in this lifetime.
    Her back was to him when he hobbled up behind her. He had to convince her that staying here with him was a completely insane idea.
    Abby turned when he reached her with a surprised look in her eyes and a soft, “Oh”.
    He pinned her against the counter with his body and his lips hovered a mere hairsbreadth away. “You can’t stay here.”
    Giving into the roar of desire in his ears, his mouth touched hers light as a feather, until he felt the softness of her lips. He hadn’t been with anyone since Krista died, and his body screamed for release. With a tortured groan, he increased the pressure and a soft moan rose to her lips as she yielded to him. His thumb slid along her jaw until he could tangle his hand in the hair at the nape of her neck. Their mouths fit together like two puzzle pieces and when she accepted the kiss, he was lost.
    Her hands slid up his chest and around his neck as she pushed her breasts against him. He couldn’t stop the desire rushing between them with increasing speed, even if he wanted to. His body craved her touch. He needed her like he had to have air to survive.
    Wrapping his arms around her back, he pulled her closer, and pushed his rock hard erection against her belly. She moaned softly into his mouth while his tongue danced with hers.  
    He finally lifted his mouth and opened his eyes. He pressed his forehead against hers and framed her face with his palms as their ragged breaths mingled in the air between them. The look on her face screamed of unreleased passion. Her eyelids had that heavy look and her pupils were dilated. With every unsteady breath, her pebble hard nipples poked against his chest and he almost threw caution to the wind and fucked her right there on the kitchen counter. A shudder rolled down his back as he fought for control.
    “Now you know why you can’t stay here. I wouldn’t be able to keep from taking you to my bed if you did. I can hardly keep my hands off you as it is.”
    “I…”
    His thumb swept across her lips, effectively silencing her words. “You can use my truck, come and go as you need to so the animals are fed, but you can’t stay here.”
    Chase sighed and stepped back, breaking the contact of their bodies.
    She sucked in an unsteady breath and slipped away from his side. He didn’t turn around, but the jingle of keys sounded loud in the silence when she grabbed her purse. A moment later, the truck started in the driveway. With a heavy heart, he raked his finger through his hair, and returned to the cold lunch waiting for him.

    When Abby reached her house, she climbed out of the truck and ran inside, slamming the door behind her. Tears rolled down her cheeks when she thought of the man she’d just left behind. She threw herself down in her favorite chair, her heading dropping almost to her knees as she sobbed.
    Why did I let him kiss me? I didn’t even let Christopher kiss me last night when he brought me home, so why Chase? Her head snapped up. Good God! Not only did I let him kiss me, but I kissed him back, tongue and all!
    “Shit!”
    The phone rang and she wiped the tears from her cheeks. She grabbed the receiver without checking the caller ID, but she wasn’t the least bit surprised to hear her mother’s voice on the other end.
    “Abigail? Are you all right?”
    Abby sniffed and wiped the tears with her fingertips.
