neck, as he made his way to her old bedroom. He remembered sneaking up those steps many times, while her father slept down the hall.
    "Of course I want to kiss you." He pushed the door open with his shoulder and set her down by the bed.
    She closed her eyes and leaned into him.
    He swiped the hair from her face, took her chin between his fingers, and placed a chaste kiss on her lips.
    She opened one eye and peered at him, waiting for more.
    "That's it?"
    "For tonight." He tapped the tip of her nose with is finger. "I want you to remember when I kiss you."
    "I'll remember." She wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're not easy to forget."
    "Believe me." He pried her arms from his body. "I want to, but not tonight."
    "Why?"
    "Because four hours ago, you ran away from me," he said. "Something made you run. Tell me why."
    He may not have wanted to take advantage of her physically while she was
    intoxicated, but he didn't see why he couldn't let her drunken lips tell him what she was afraid of.
    She shook her head. "I can't."
    "You can't what?" He needed to know what she thought about the two of them.
    "I'm tired now." She lifted her dress over her head and tossed it in the corner of the room. She stood before him in nothing but her white push-up bra and matching lace thong.
    "Fuck." He couldn't take his eyes off her toned, tanned body. He mindlessly licked his lips when he discovered her rose-colored nipples poking through the thin, silky material of her bra. Struggling with himself, he tried not to lower his gaze. He lost the battle as he greedily took in her scantily covered pussy.
    "Want to kiss me now?" She ran her fingers down her neck and over her breasts.
    "Want to touch me like this?" She moved her hand down her stomach and to the waistband of her panties.
    He stepped closer to her and grabbed her wrist. He had to get her to stop, or he'd lose all control.
    "You want to do it?" She moved his hand inside her thong. "Make me come?"
    "Lila," he whispered as his fingers brushed her soft curls. "Please."
    "I want you, Trev." She pressed his finger against her wet slit. "Please."
    She rested her head on his shoulder and swayed. He could feel her losing her
    footing. He pulled his hand away from hers and held her up.
    "Let's get you into bed."
    "Okay," she said. "I think I drank too much."
    "You think?" He couldn't help but laugh at her.
    He lifted her up, threw back the comforter, and placed her in the center of the bed. He could smell her scent all over the sheets, as he pulled the covers over her body.
    He fought the urge to crawl in next to her.
    "Trevor."
    "Yes, angel."
    "Do you think you could stay until I fall asleep? I've been having trouble sleeping." She closed her eyes. "I don't want to be alone anymore."
    "I'd be happy to." He sat on the edge of the bed and stroked her hair. "I'll stay as long as you need me to."
    He'd do whatever she asked.
    "I loved you so much." Her eyes fluttered. "Missed you." A few seconds later, she was out.
    He leaned down and pressed his lips to her forehead. "I never stopped loving you."

Chapter Six
    Lila woke to rain pelting the skylight of her bedroom ceiling. She squinted to see the clock. It was already after ten. She'd slept a full night. She hadn't done that in weeks.
    She pulled the covers back, then glanced down at her half-naked body.
    "Shit!"
    She shot up into a seated position. Trevor had taken her home the night before.
    He'd carried her up the steps and put her into bed. The night was foggy in her mind, but she was pretty sure she'd thrown herself at him. And, he rejected her.
    Rejected me?
    The Trevor from her youth would've taken any opportunity to get inside her
    panties. She wondered what had changed.
    Her head pounded and her throat was dry. Motrin and a bottle of water, both in
    her kitchen, were in order.
    As she popped the bread in the toaster, images of Trevor flooded her mind. She'd been angry with him for so long, but last night, those hurt feelings seemed to
