“Hey, that was a forceful one. I see Carter’s inherited
your ball genes.” She gave Blake a smile before pitching to Carter.
“Yeah, I did. My dad laughed at the platonic remark, but we can
talk about that later.”
    “Daddy said that you
might live in the same house with us, but on one side.” Carter gave
her a serious look. “Does that mean you’ll be my mommy?”
    “No, but I’ll
definitely be your friend. You can always talk to me when you need a
woman’s advice. Would it be okay with you if I live close to you?”
    Carter nodded. “You
make my dad happy again.”
    Why did she make Blake
happy? Was it because he could share the mortgage with her or because
he wanted her close by? Geez, she was feeling hot again and it wasn’t
due to the warm weather. Probably not good that she had lustful
thoughts about Blake.
    After the park and
pizza, Sydney called her brother, Zach, and asked him if Carter could
play with Aaron for a couple of hours. They chatted for several
minutes at Zach’s house before Blake drove Sydney to her apartment.
    Once inside her place,
Blake said, “After living in this tiny apartment, you might want to
share the duplex with me and Carter. You’ll get lonely in it
without us.”
    Lonely might be better
than being on edge all the time. Blake did things to her body that no
man had for a long time. And this was just from looking at him. Breaking my sexy mood fast might be a good idea. She laughed.
“Since it’s so small, everything is convenient. I only have to
take a couple of steps from my sofa to be in my kitchen.”
    He picked up a picture
of her family. “I thought I was tall until I stood next to your
brother. I see where he gets his height.”
    “Both dad and Zach
are six-foot-five.” Opening the refrigerator, she asked, “How
about a glass of wine?”
    “Sounds good.” He
returned the photo back to its spot. “So tell me what your parents
think of us buying a house together.”
    She handed him a drink
before sitting on the sofa. “I got the impression dad didn’t
think our relationship would stay platonic. Apparently, he had some
experience with my mom needing a place to live during college. He
told her that he’d take the couch and she could have his bed. He
didn’t stay on the couch for long.”
    Blake shrugged and
stared at her for a moment. “Our situation’s different. We have
to behave because of Carter. Plus we won't be living together.”
    He never said that
there wasn’t any attraction between them, but only mentioned his
son being the difference from her parents’ romantic interlude. What
she suspected deep down was true. He desired her as much as she did
him. But she needed to play this very cool because her goal was to
move out of the apartment. She couldn’t afford to worry Blake. If
he suspected how hot and bothered she was for him, the whole sharing
thing would be off. “And we’ll have our own beds so that’ll
help.”
    Blake looked deep in
thought so she sipped her wine. She sensed he wanted to kiss her. So
much for trying to keep their feelings from bursting into flames. Oh
man, kiss me and get it over with. “I don’t think we should
ignore the physical chemistry between us. It’s safe here in my
apartment with no Carter around to pop in on us. Maybe we should just
do it and see if we even like it.”
    “I’m pretty sure
I’ll like it, but I’m surprised you’d suggest we have sex.”
    She gasped. “No, I
never meant we should have sex. I was referring to kissing each
other. I figured you didn’t want Carter to see us kiss. But forget
it now. I need to learn to keep my mouth─”
    Blake’s lips touched
hers before she could finish her sentence. His mouth tasted sweet and
wonderful. Probably from the red wine. She was good at picking out
full-flavored sweet wine. Except, without alcohol on his lips, she’d
still want to kiss him. As his kisses became more intense, she slid
her hands up the front of Blake’s T-shirt, feeling his
