“Yes. We need to talk.”

No, we don’t.

We could just kiss.

And then you could do that thing where you take your clothes off and—

“Callie,” he says. “Stop thinking and come over.”

Oh, man. His voice has that deep, bossy tone he likes to use on me sometimes. Hell, who am I kidding? He uses that bossy

tone on me all the time.

“Okay, text me your address. But honestly, if there are more revelations like there were last night, Luke, I’m not sure I want to know.”

Silence.

Dead silence.

Oh. My. God.

“What else? Tell me right now,” I demand as my heart speeds up again.

He sighs. “Just come over. I don’t want to do this over the phone.”

I do what he says.

And on the drive to his house, I tell myself that I need to put a stop to this now. I am not the kind of woman who sleeps with a married man. I don’t care that he’s practically divorced. Until he has that piece of paper, I need to keep him out of my pants.

Luke answers the door, and I have to work hard not to swoon all over the damn place. It’s not his muscles or his lips or the way his gaze takes in every inch of me that does it. It’s his green eyes and how they lock onto mine before he murmurs my name in a way that no man should ever be allowed to murmur it.

You will not let him in your pants.

You will not let him in your pants

You will not—

He places his hand on my arm, and I almost jolt out of my skin at his touch. I’m pretty sure the talk I gave myself on the way over here has been long forgotten. I’m more than sure that if Luke Hardy told me to jump off a damn cliff, I’d do it. Jerking his chin, he says, “Come in.”

Our eyes don’t let each other go as I step inside. I’m under his spell, and nothing can break it.

And then I hear a woman’s voice, and I freeze.

“Sean, no!”

My head spins.

Totally not what I expected.

Luke’s hand wraps around my wrist, and he leans close so he can say against my ear. “Stop thinking, Callie, and wait for me to explain.”

I suck in a deep breath. “You better hurry up and start explaining, Luke. I’ve had enough surprises to last me a long time.”

A little boy, who looks to be no older than four or five, rounds the corner and rushes down the hall towards us. Luke lets me go so he can put his arms out for the boy to run into.

“Daddy!”

Luke lifts him up into his arms, and a huge smile spreads across his face. I stare because it’s all I can do. Luke hardly ever smiles. Like, I could count the number of times I have seen him smile in the last year on two hands.
