him and I knew we had his books.” Hayden shrugged.
    “And your father remembered they were at my house?”
    “Yep. He doesn’t read. You know that.” Hayden lifted
his glass to his lips. “I think I’ve finally decided on a major. I’m leaning
toward business administration like Dad. He told me that I could have a job
with him once I graduated. All I have to do is get my degree.”
    Frustration ebbed at her. “That sounds great, but I
thought you wanted to do something in the field of science.”
    “Nah. I’ve already got a job waiting for me. I’d be
crazy to pass it up.” He stood and cleaned up his mess. “Holly is planning a
get-together with her family this evening and Dad wanted me to be there. I’m
not looking forward to it, but I agreed to go.”
    “You don’t have to go yet, do you?” Kristin watched as
her son returned to the kitchen.
    “Well, Dad gave me some money and I’d planned on going
shopping for some new jeans. I ripped out the knees of my last good pair when I
did that skateboarding jump last summer.”
    “I can go with you. It’d be fun hanging out all day.”
    “Thanks, but no guy wants to go shopping with his
mom.” Hayden came to her and kissed her cheek. “Besides, you have company.”
    Kristin pushed the chair away from the table.
“Hayden.”
    She stared at her son, realizing his father had won,
yet again. She’d raised him to be the decent human being he was and his father was
currently reaping the rewards.
    “I love you.”
    Her son smiled. “Yeah. I know. Me too, Mom.”
    She watched him leave.
    “You okay?”
    Kristin closed her eyes a brief moment before turning
around. “Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?”
    Mr. Bosk stood. “I don’t know. Your son chose your
prick of an ex-husband over you… Again.”
    “He needs his father.”
    “Yet he’s completely oblivious to how you feel.” Mr.
Bosk gripped her shoulders. His thumbs worked small circles in the tense
muscles.
    “How do I feel?”
    “Disappointed. From what I gathered, you raised him on
your own. You probably consider your ex’s time spent with Hayden a free ride.
He didn’t change the diapers. He didn’t scare the monsters away. Yet, he is the
one who gets what you want most of all. Your son’s time.”
    Kristin took a deep breath. “You’re good. You should
be a psychologist.”
    Mr. Bosk gave her a sexy chuckle. “I don’t think so. I
am good at reading people though.”
    She turned in his arms. “What did you read about me?”
    “Many things. I’d bet every penny I own that there is
a wild woman inside you begging to come out. I’d also bet that she only reveals
herself between the sheets when she knows it is safe and she doesn’t have to be
responsible anymore. When she doesn’t have to think or worry because she knows
her lover will take care of her and every single need she has.”
    Kristin swallowed hard. “You really want inside my
panties, don’t you?”
    “You’re not wearing any panties.” She felt her eyes
widen in shock. “You’re cool on the surface and hot as sin underneath it all.
Eventually, I’m going to strip away the barriers and bring out the woman dying
to be released.”
    Kristin gripped the chair behind her. “How do you know
I’m not wearing panties?”
    He grinned. She couldn’t help thinking he resembled
the big bad wolf. If she was Little Red Riding Hood, then she was screwed. She shook
her head, debating on whether or not she wanted to kiss him or slap him.
    “You smell good.” With that, he moved away from her,
heading toward her living room. A few seconds later, she heard the sound of the
TV.
    She bit her lower lip. He was awfully bold, and she
was indeed screwed.

    “Hey, Bosky.” Roxy called from the bar at The Black
Rose. “Do you want your usual?”
    He shook his head. “No alcohol tonight. I’ve got a
headache. Just a glass of Coke.”
    Roxy reached for a can and popped the top for him,
sliding it his way. “Rough
