Tempt Me Excerpt
A week later, Liam walked into Tessa’s house and the entire place smelled like all the best parts of fall.
Someone’s baking…
They’d gotten into the habit this past week where he came over after he got home from work. She told him he didn’t have to knock or ring the bell, that he could just come in. It didn’t seem like a big deal, but he kind of liked how she trusted him.
He also liked the way she normally greeted him.
For someone who said it had been a long time since she’d been intimate with a man, she was most definitely making up for lost time and Liam was more than happy to be the one she did that with.
With each day he was discovering something new about her—something that was completely at odds with the woman he initially met. She was still ridiculously cheery and overly optimistic, but there was a bit of wildness to her she only showed when they were alone. A lot of the time, Tessa was the one to initiate sex and he loved all the ways she would seduce him.
Not that it took much. All she had to do was look at him and he was ready to strip her down and make love to her.
The night in the hot tub seemed to be the turning point.
Well, that entire afternoon and evening had changed things between them. Once they crossed the line to lovers, Liam knew nothing would ever be the same. But the hot tub seemed to unleash a little part of her she had been repressing.
Now he looked forward to seeing what part of Tessa she was going to reveal to him each day.
He found her in the kitchen where she was pulling a couple of pans out of the oven. Thanksgiving was only a few days away, and he knew she was getting ready. He hated how she was going to South Carolina to be with her family while he was staying here with his. As much as he loved a big Donovan holiday dinner, this year he would have enjoyed letting Tessa experience one too. Only…
They weren’t dating.
At least, he didn’t think they were.
Hell, whenever he tried to talk to Tessa about it, she changed the subject and he was getting a bit of a complex.
Was it possible that he was more into her than she was into him? Could she be sticking to his original plan, that this was all just about him helping her get comfortable dating again?
Oh, God…is she…using me?
For sex?
Groaning inwardly, he told himself that would be poetic justice. He’d finally found a woman he wanted to date and he’d put himself in a position where she didn’t take him seriously. It would totally serve him right for pushing her into re-discovering the sexual side of herself. Maybe now she realized that she could have all the pleasurable fun that she wanted without having any deep entanglements.
For years, that had been the dream—hell, for most guys, it was the dream—but Liam was feeling like he was ready for something more than casual. Something more fulfilling.
So then, what am I doing here?
