lightweight.
    She sighed, wishing her friends were still there. She could’ve used their
distraction. But the movie was long finished, and Marcus had already taken Asia and Lexi home, so here she sat, curled up on her couch.
    All alone with her fuzzy thoughts.
    She needed to stop thinking about Cain, and how sweet he’d been in the three
weeks since he’d been back. How he hadn’t pushed anything between them besides
just seeing her and chatting with her every day, bringing her coffee, and
flowers, and special treats. It only served to remind her of how sweet he’d
always been, even ten years ago.
    Besides, it was starting to drive her crazy that he wasn’t pushing things
any further. Had he changed his mind? Did he not find her as attractive as he
once had? Had he forgotten about their little kiss?
    She sure hadn’t. She couldn’t seem to stop replaying it in her head. Nor
could she forget he’d said he still wanted her. And if that kiss had proved
anything, it was that she definitely wanted him.
    She could still feel the way his hair curled on the ends, entwining like soft
tendrils around her fingers as if not wanting to let her go. Could still see
the delectable indentation at the base of his throat, his strong kissable collarbone,
his sexy forearms. She could still smell his warm, clean male scent.
    Oh yeah, she remembered that hot kiss all right.
    But then, his kisses had always turned her insides to mush, and emptied
her mind of everything except how good he made her feel. It had been that way from
the very first moment she’d met him. Even then, it was the hot steamy kisses in
that dark closet that had led to so much more. She got wet just thinking about
it.
    Yep, the more she thought about it, the more she was convinced her
friends had the right idea about Cain. She’d love to climb all over his hard,
ripped body. Sex had always been good between them. Scratch that. It was better
than good.
    It was off the charts.
    Amazing.
    Hot.
    Scorching.
    There was no reason they couldn’t pick up where that kiss had left off.
    And , she knew just where to find him. Within convenient walking
distance at the bed and breakfast just up the road. She even had the number in
her cordless phone’s directory. Why not go for it?
    Her woolly brain tried to come up with a reason but for the life of her,
she couldn’t think of one.
    And best of all, she was feeling very free. And daring.
    And exceedingly horny.
    Without further thought, she reached out to snatch up her phone, missing
it by a mile. Her second attempt knocked it to the floor.
    Damn it . She wasn’t usually this clumsy. Of course, the room
wasn’t usually doing this crazy tilt-a-wheel thing either.
    Taking the path of least resistance, she slid from the couch to the floor
butt first, landing on the phone with a thud.
    Well, at least she didn’t have to hunt around for the damn thing. She
jiggled and squirmed, maneuvering the elusive instrument out from under her
butt.
    Man, this was exhausting.
    Breathing hard from her struggles, she pondered the need to start doing
more intensive aerobics. Deciding she was comfortable right where she was, she called
up her phone’s directory, which entailed pushing the wrong button twice and almost
deleting the number once.
    Taking a deep steadying breath, she forced herself to focus.
    Success.
    Feeling ridiculously proud of herself, she listened while it auto-dialed.
Thank God a friend of hers had stayed there once or she never would have gotten
this far.
    At long last, after a confusing interlude with the stupid person manning
the switchboard, the phone in Cain’s room started to ring.
    And ring, and ring. Was he out? He’d better not be out. It was vital she
tell him what was on her mind. Before she lost her nerve.
    “Hello.”
    Cain’s groggy voice set her heart racing with a combination of relief and
excitement. “ Cain! I was worried you were out.”
    A beat of silence greeted her. “Thea?”
    “Bet you weren’t
