couldn’t make out much. It was too dark. “Kyle?”
    He twisted his hold on her and opened a door. They stepped through, and it closed with a click. “We’re home, Ronnie.”
    “Home?” She scanned the room, but it was as dark as outside.
    With an easiness that only came from familiarity, he carried her through the darkened space and took the stairs. He knew the way.
    “You brought me to your house?”
    He paused midstep. “You’re not afraid to be here with me, are you?”
    “Of course not.”
    He brushed his lips over hers. “Good. The place is a little rough and kinda messy. Don’t judge me in the morning for it. Only girl who’s ever seen the inside of my house is my mama.” He snorted. “And Mindy.”
    His words sent a primitive thrill through her. She slid her fingers into the short strands of his hair and kissed him. He groaned and let her lead him into a dance she’d never found another man to match. Only Kyle could turn a simple kiss into a raw display of lust and love.
    Oh God.
    She pulled back. His heated gaze held hers, and she saw the confirmation she’d chosen to ignore. He still loved her, maybe always had.
    The regret and guilt choked her. She buried her face into the crook of his neck, unable to bear the evidence of her selfish act. She hadn’t freed him to find love by walking away. She’d damned him to live alone. It didn’t matter who he’d screwed in the years they’d been apart. None of those women had touched his heart. She’d bet hers on it.
    He massaged her bottom and started walking again.
    Another door opened and Kyle’s scent swept out. His bedroom. A quick scan of the space confirmed her guess. Rumpled sheets covered his king-size bed. A single pillow lay in the middle. Wide-eyed, she glanced at him.
    “I figured we’d try something new if you’re up for it.”
    Her breathing quickened. Excitement tensed her muscles. “What’s that?”
    He carried her to the bed and laid her in the middle, her head on his pillow. “Make love in a bed.” He ran his palm over her chest, pebbling her nipples with the stroke. “ My bed.”
    She licked her lips. “We never did make it to one, did we?”
    “We almost did once.” He glanced at her. The question hovered in his eyes—did she remember?
    “But Levi barged in to tell you about some baseball game.” She shook her head. “And didn’t leave until he gave you a byplay of the innings you’d missed—”
    “Because I’d sneaked away to be with you.” He fingered the hem of her shirt. “You always made me so damn horny. I walked around with a perpetual hard-on all summer long.”
    She chuckled. “I know, and I loved it. I couldn’t wait for June to come. I knew you’d be hard and ready for me.”
    He reached under her skirt and lazily stroked her cleft. Arousal flowed with the first brush of his fingertip to her sex. She didn’t even think to deny him. His touch felt too familiar. He’d been her first lover, her first boyfriend, and the first guy she’d ever walked away from. Not her last. She’d broken quite a few men’s hearts in her time. Then again, hers had been stomped on just as much.
    He rubbed his thumb over her clit. The familiar pulse in the bundle of nerves redirected her thoughts to the living, breathing man who’d always hovered in the back of her mind. “I always wondered why you never asked if I’d cheated on you.”
    The gentle swipe of his finger stilled at the opening of her core. He shifted his gaze to hers. A challenge hovered in his direct stare. Why?
    “Dad watched you.” Even though she’d never asked him to keep an eye on Kyle. She hadn’t minded getting the updates, however. Her life during those months away from Kyle had been lonely. Only her studies and obligations to attend her mother’s social events had kept her from wallowing in depression.
    “Doesn’t prove anything. You and I both know how easy it is to sneak in a quick fuck.” He leaned closer, the tip of his finger
