told them, although not too excited about having them living farther away.
It won t be that far, Mom, Tara assured her. I still have to be close enough so Cole
won t have a long drive to the office. And we drove it yesterday. It s only twenty-five minutes
between our new place and yours.
Well, all things considered, Ellen said, I do think getting out of that house will be good
for both of you. Forgive me for saying this, sweetheart, but being the second wife sometimes has
its drawbacks. It never helps to cook in another woman s kitchen.
Tara had never told the McKees the Maggie story nor did she intend to. It was Cole s
secret to share, not hers. But Ellen, with her uncanny intuition, had sensed an air of imbalance in
the house that she couldn t quite define. Tara could tell she was pleased that they were going to
make a fresh start in a new place.

Cole was home earlier than usual the following night, looking very satisfied with himself.
He dropped a large envelope on the counter.
An early Christmas present, darlin . They accepted our offer. We now own a big piece of
land in the middle of somewhere.
Oh, Cole. Really and truly? She leaped up and threw her arms around him. But that s
wonderful.
All you have to do is sign these papers tonight, and I ll have someone drive them to the
agent s office tomorrow. The seller has already signed.
I ve been busy, too, she grinned. The nursery furniture will be delivered and set up
tomorrow and the movers will be here Wednesday. They ll pack up everything I tell them to,
including our clothes and we ll just leave the rest. She frowned at him. Are you sure that s what
you really want to do?
You don t know how much. His face was suddenly grim. I just want to walk out the
door and never look back. She saw him glance at Molly in her highchair.
I ll get her upstairs and bathed in just a minute, she said hastily. You came home a little
early, is all, so I m running just a bit behind.
It s all right, Tara, he said. You don t have to hide her just because I m in the house. His
face took on a conflicted look. I ve touched her, and it hasn t killed me. It s just very hard, that s
all. But I think it s time to move ahead. I guess I ll just keep doing my best with it and see where
it goes.
Oh, Cole. She hugged him and laid her face against his chest. You don t know how
much I want to make the past go away.
Me, too, sweetheart. He patted her fanny. Now, why don t you go do whatever it is you
need to do and I ll get rid of this jacket and tie. I brought home some champagne so we could
celebrate before dinner.

She drove Lindsey out to see their property the next morning.
This is gorgeous. Lindsey s eyes sparkled. She turned to hug Tara, somewhat of a
problem with her now bulging stomach and Molly in Tara s arms, but they managed. I m so very
happy for you. Both of you. Cole deserves every bit of happiness you bring him.
We still have some bumps in the road, Tara said, but we re getting there, one step at a
time.
Wednesday the movers showed up on schedule and by five that afternoon, juggling a
cranky Molly whose naps had been hit or miss, Tara walked back into her house where the
furniture fought for space with piles of cartons. Several of them were stacked in her garage and
wouldn t be opened until the new house was ready, but her house was half the size of Cole s,
which doubled the problem. Plus the fact that her rooms were a miniature of the ones Cole was
used to and likely to give him a case of claustrophobia.
Well, no matter. We ll be a little crammed, but we can make it work. We just need to get the
plans finished, settle on a builder and get him in high gear.
She unpacked some of their clothes and Molly s things, fed and bathed the little girl and
put her down for the night. At last, she collapsed on the couch, catching her breath. She was still
sprawled in the same position when Cole showed up promptly at six, carrying pizza and sodas.
My hero, she told him. Just what the doctor ordered.
You re an amazing woman, he said, looking around. I can t believe how much you ve
gotten done. He leaned down and kissed her. If you re not too tired, maybe later, I can show you
just how much I admire you. He winked and leered at her.
She was sure she was too worn out to respond to anything, but when she came out of the
shower, he was waiting for her, holding a towel.
I thought we should christen the bed. His voice was hoarse with passion, and desire
glittered in his eyes.
He began to dry her with gentle pats, his touch so intimate that she was instantly aroused.
She felt the familiar race of her pulse and the throb between her legs.
When he leaned down and kissed the tender spot at the hollow of her throat, a steady
thrumming there reverberated against his tongue. His lips moved over her jaw line, feathering
light kisses, until his mouth came down on hers, his tongue probing, tangling with hers and
feeding on her mouth. He swept the hot, dark recesses of her mouth, drinking her in, tickling at
every nerve, the in and out thrust mimicking the movement of his penis when he penetrated her.
He held the kiss as he dried her breasts with great care, teasing the nipples with the
roughness of the towel. The feel of his hand alone was enough to start a pulse thudding deep
inside her womb, turning her knees to jelly.
He tore his mouth away from hers at last, picked her up and carried her to the bed. His
eyes raked her body as he tore off his own clothes and lay down next to her. As if it were all new
to him, he kissed every inch of her, touching all her sensitive places. Not an inch of her skin
evaded his marauding mouth and hands. He felt her tremble with the anticipation of his
movements.
Her breasts were hot to his touch, the nipples a dark rose already pebbled and waiting for
his mouth. He loved to suck them and press them against the roof of his mouth with his tongue.
Feel them harden even more. Feel Tara arch her body into him to give him greater access.
He touched the insides of her thighs and found them damp with her liquid. His probing
fingers discovered a pussy deliciously wet for him. His warm breath blew on her soft curls as his
fingertips touched her swelling labia, parting them and kissing the exposed skin with the softest [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
