Dylan parked in front of her cottage. Lauren kept rubbing her hands up and down the tops of her thighs. She had wanted to invite him to stay. But she couldn’t bring herself to say it. Then he through the door open and got out, the moment was lost.
Dylan came over to her side. Holding [...]

The wait was the worst of it. Every delayed minute a tortuous twist of his frayed nerves. He filled the endless time with business calls at first. Graduated to emails on his black berry next, then practiced deleting numbers of women he intended never to call again. He reorganized web apps and downloaded a few. [...]

Lauren stretched and rolled to her back. She’d forgotten how uncomfortable the sofa was. She and Monty avoided it like the plague; they wouldn’t even allow guests to sleep on it. “Owe,” she groaned, her joints bundles of overstressed knots that coiled the tightest at the base of her spine down through the back of [...]

Lauren laughed. Dylan McGuire for her was a lot of things, but never funny. She laughed until her eyes tear and her stomach muscles cramped.

“Stop!” Dena shoved hard with palms flat. Chet’s broad shoulders absorbed the force, his body remained glued to hers. Turning her face, she tensed as his kisses—tender as they were—continued over her cheekbone and under her chin. “I said stop!” she shoved again, this time forcing her hands between. Chet released her, with a smug [...]

Lauren held tight. Her fingers ached in their joints, but her grip was steady. It needed to be, the ladder had claimed at least one near casualty since she bought the vineyard. That was one too many.

He stumbled down the dark hall—hands to the wall. Thankfully the bathroom was only a few paces from his room. The rain is what woke him. Tiny torpedoes were what they were.
