If Regan would just lie still, try to turn her head away, or even atte

But she doesn’t

When ue touches hers, sheinvitation, and there’s just enough alcohol in my system I won’t deny her

I drop s, and there’s no hiding ainstflat It’s enough that doubt takes hold, and I break the kiss to look at her

“Don’t stop, Dax,” she orders breathlessly “You just grab whateveraround that head of yours and get rid of it”

As if to , she lifts her hips to press herself to ain, but to pressto clearunderbecause we’re both restless with lust, need, and alcohol

“Lance would kill ht now if he were here,” I murmur so she knows exactly what my hesitation is “You’re his little sister He’d want me to protect you”

I’rasp, puts her hands to et me off her When I roll toward the back of the couch, she slides out fro in protest at the loss of her heat More than that, I feel a hollow pain in the center of my chest

Regan rolls off the couch, staring at me with hard eyes “Lance isn’t here, and I have to believe that wherever he is, he’s in a place where he wouldn’t judge Now, I know this ht… it’s the best way to saveto pretend there isn’t an attraction between us You can look at me like a little sister if you want—can ith your conscience until the cows co in the last few years Life is too short to pass up opportunities, and I’ attracted to you So if you want to take advantage of the situation that has presented itself tonight—granted, due to alcohol that’s loosened sogest a cold shower”

I push off the couch slowly,up in an alave there, Mrs Monahan”

Regan flushes, perhaps at the blunt reminder that no matter the complicated circumstances, she’s my wife Under the eyes of the law, it’s totally appropriate for us to have sex But what really gottoward her around the coffee table—was her saying wherever Lance is, he wouldn’t judge As close as I was to Lance, Regan was closer and knew her brother far better than I ever could I do believe that, just for tonight, I’ to believe her

Just for tonight

Co to be a lot of blaet to it Right noant her too much to listen to my conscience anymore

Lengthening my strides, I reach her in two steps Hands to her face, I slam my mouth onto hers The o to her ass and I lift her It’s an intis tightly around my waist

I kiss her fervently as I walk to the door off thearea that houses the h and barrel right towardher, then settle her right underneath me My mouth an’s delicate fingers slide through s and uses her thighs to hold ht

Dragging my mouth over her collarbone to the base of her throat, I start to work at the buttons of her blouse, exposing more and more flesh the farther south I move

When my lips skate over a lu open I lift ainst her skin alaran?”
