and slid her arms around his waist. “In this case, and only this case, stupid is good.”
    His grin was so disarming. She wondered if he had any idea how ridiculously sexy he was when he flashed that grin and looked at her with devilish intent in his gray eyes.  
    “I believe that before you brought me in here and kissed me stupid, you were about to voice an objection to this new arrangement of ours.”
    “No objection,” he said, pushing against her gently so she could feel what their kisses had done to him as he continued to leave hot, openmouthed kisses on her neck. “No objection whatsoever. Rather, I have a concern about timing.”
    “If you could stop kissing me for a minute, maybe we could talk about this concern of yours.”
    “Now that I’ve started, I don’t think I’m ever going to stop kissing you.”
    All her female parts stood up and cheered at that news. “While I’d never want to discourage the kissing, especially now that I know how very good at it you are, I’d like to hear your concern.” She gave his shoulders a gentle push, then grabbed his hand to lead him into the sitting room where they’d spent so much time together in recent weeks.  
    Groaning in dismay, he allowed her to pull him along.
    “Sit.”
    “Will there be more kissing?”
    “After we talk.”
    “Fine,” he said, falling onto the love seat with a boyish pout on his sexy mouth.
    “Now, tell me, what’s on your mind.”
    As if he couldn’t keep his hands to himself now that she had changed the rules of their relationship, he buried his fingers in her hair, stroking the long strands with intense purpose. Every time his fingertips brushed up against her scalp, they detonated a reaction that rippled through her entire body. She’d never been more sensitive to a man’s touch.
    “I want nothing more than to take you to bed and keep you there for days,” he said. “Weeks. Maybe even months.”
    Laura swallowed hard and trembled, as much from his words as the feel of his fingers sifting through her hair. “But?”
    “I’d really like the situation with Justin to be resolved before we go any further.”
    Laura’s heart sank at that reminder of the standoff with her estranged husband. Justin had made it clear he was uninterested in a divorce and planned to fight her every step of the way.
    “You also need to tell him about the baby. I know he hurt you and disappointed you terribly, but it’s not right to keep the baby from him.”
    “I know,” she said. “I’ve been thinking a lot about that, too.”
    “If it was my kid, I’d want to know, no matter what the situation was between myself and the mother. I’d want to know about my child.”
    “That’s because you’re upstanding and honorable. I wonder sometimes if he’ll even care.”
    “He’ll care. I can’t imagine he’s a total monster if you once loved him.”
    “No,” she said, fiddling with a throw pillow. “He’s not. He has a different idea about what it means to be married than I do.”
    “His ideas about marriage are different from most people’s.”
    Pleased by his unwavering support, she looked over at him. “Where does this leave us?”
    He took her hand and brought it to his lips. “On hold. Temporarily. Very temporarily.”
    “I’ll take care of it. As soon as I can.”
    “And I’ll be right here waiting to continue this ‘conversation’ as soon as you’re ready.” He held out his arms to her. “Come here.”
    She snuggled into his embrace, feeling relieved to have finally talked about the overwhelming attraction they’d been nursing for weeks, but also twitchy with restless desire. “Is kissing allowed during this temporary stand-down?”
    “Absolutely. By all means. Yes.”
    “Are you sure?” she asked, making him laugh.  
    He cupped her face and gazed down at her, his eyes brimming with emotion. “I’m very, very sure.” And then he sealed their deal with another of those amazing kisses.
