would eventually marry.
Sorry to hear that.
I m not sorry to say it. He settled his other hand on my waist
then drew me closer. Furthermore, I ve only had sex with one
woman in my tent. You.

His words lifted my heart. There was something special in
knowing that I d shared something with Alec that no one else had. I
smiled.
Damn, you re beautiful.
He stated it with such conviction it caused my cheeks to flush. In
his gaze I felt beautiful.
Thank you.
Fitting his lips to mine, he kissed me. When his tongue slipped
into my mouth I tasted the sweet spice of his kiss. I latched onto his
tongue gratefully, like a starving woman starving for attention and
affection. However that s the moment Gabrielle s words rolled to the
forefront of my mind. I couldn t allow myself to get head-over-heels
in passion with him. It was too easy to do. He was an elixir to my
aching soul.
With my hands flat on his chest, I pushed away. I needed a little
space to think. What s all of this mean for us, Alec?
My insides quivered as I asked the question. I could admit to
myself that I was more than a little afraid of his answer. He d made
me no promises.

Lowering himself to the couch he tugged me down with him. I
landed beside him with an ungraceful plop. The jarring movement
caused my robe to part some, showing a small sliver of blue lace.
He linked the fingers of one of his hands with mine. When I
initially ran into you and thought about inviting you camping, I
thought, Here s an old friend who s kind and a great sport. She
should fit in nice with my family. Simple platonic weekend.
I searched his eyes, trying to discover what he felt. However, he
kept his emotions guarded, forcing me to ask, And now?
His eyes lowered to our joined hands. His fingers moved and
brushed along my skin.
The contact caused a zing of electric pulses to radiate up my arm
and into my nipples. They perked up behind the robe and pressed
into the lace of my nightie.
From the ride up to the campground, everything about my life
and my thoughts of you changed. His gaze met mine again.
In what way? My voice was barely above a whisper, I could
hardly breathe.
Shaking his head, he said, Every way. Even as I drove back
down the mountain last night I kept trying to figure it out.
You came home yesterday? That bit of knowledge shocked me.

Yes. Kiah had to get back somehow, since someone absconded
with her cab.
Oops. I covered my mouth with my free hand. I didn t know
what to do. I figured you two would make up and&
He let out a short chuckle. And what, cuddle up in a tent that
reminded me of you in smell and memories?
I guess. I shrugged.
What kind of ass do you take me for?
Shit. I wasn t sure how to respond to that.
Forget it. He gave a quick wave of his hand. Don t worry
about it, Marisa. I m sorry Kiah placed you in a difficult situation and
made you feel uncomfortable and unwanted. My family loved
having you around.
Except for your Aunt Trish, I grumbled. All I heard was Kiah
this and Kiah and Alec that.
I hope you saw that my aunt is never pleased with anything.
Because she is the oldest of us, we all just let her go on and on, but
basically ignore her. Except when it comes to her cooking orders. The
woman is a genius in the kitchen.
I smiled. That s true.

During the drive I had a long talk with Kiah and let her know it
was over for good. She did a lot of whining, screaming and pouting,
but we ended as friends. He brushed my hair away from my face
and behind my ear. Last night, I would have come to see you but I
needed to work everything out and come to a firm decision about the
direction of my life when it comes to relationships.
What did you determine? Is there any hope for us?
He moved an arm around my waist and pulled me into his lap.
Can I confess something to you?
Trying not to think about his firm thighs beneath my ass, I
nodded. Of course you can.
I wanted to ask you to prom my senior year.
�Qu�!
Si. He winked at me.
I was in the tenth grade. You were Mr.
All American. I know.
And you went with Becky Sumter, the head cheerleader and
homecoming queen. I pointed out.
I settled for Becky. His fingers made a design on my thigh.
I shivered.

I always found you pretty, smart and kind-hearted. It was
always easy to talk to you when you were hanging around your
brothers.
More like insinuating myself to be around you.
Arching a brow, he stared at me. Really?
Si, Se�or. I bumped my shoulder to his chest. Why didn t you
ask me?
Your brothers.
You were afraid of them? I shifted toward him for a more direct
look.
The robe slipped, revealing a sliver of my bare leg.
He traced the edge of the robe, caressing my skin along the way
to my knee then returned in the same manner until he reached the
inside of my thigh. As much as I desired his hand to continue up, he
played the gentleman and stopped.
No, not fear. I respected them too much. They ve been my
friends for a long time. I didn t want to ruin that. Honestly, it s what
has kept me from asking them about a way to contact you.
For real? Bashful, I placed a hand on my warm cheeks. I never
knew. In school you never let on. I mean, you were kind to me, but I

just thought it was because you were good friends with my
brothers.
Only partly. Mostly because of you. Your brothers are my
friends but you have my heart. He lifted the hand that was still
laced with mine and kissed the back of my hand. So, lovely one,
what do you suggest we do about the feelings between us.
Are we talking permanently? Or for the moment, the night? I
needed to be sure this time. No more gray areas, I respected myself
too much to play the hopeless fool.
Releasing my hand, he wrapped both his strong arms around my
waist and pulled me close. All the women in and out of my life have
been just around to fill the time, keep me occupied. So I wouldn t
remember what I really wanted was you. Does that sound permanent
enough?
Yeah. My heart was racing. I would have pinched myself to see
if this all was a dream, that maybe I had fallen asleep on the couch.
However, if that was the case I didn t ever want to be awakened.
Now, what I need to know is do you feel the same. Do you want
this to be more than trips and one-night stands? Honestly, I care
about you so much I d take the occasional crumb you threw me& at
least for a while until I could convince you of your love for me.

I couldn t believe that Alec was making it seem as if I was holding
all the cards to what our future would be. That I had the power in
this situation, if we would be a couple or not. My heart seemed to
swell into my throat.
I love you. My words were strangled. I could barely breathe or
speak.
What? His whisper was harsh, low and full of emotions as his
eyes shifted back and forth. Did you say you love me?
Inhaling, I forced the tightness to release. Yes! S�, te amo. I threw
myself into his chest and hugged him around the neck. I love you,
Alec Milano. I always have.
Kiss me.
He didn t need to ask twice. I placed my lips against his and let
every ounce of passion and love for him show in it. It was intense as
he returned the same level of desire to me.
It took him three times to pull his mouth away from mine. He
took hold of my face and those dark eyes of his pierced my soul. I
love you, lovely one, and I refuse to ever settle for anyone but you
again.
My vision of him was blurry as tears flooded my gaze. So, what
do you plan to do about it? I tossed his words back at him.
