If she was in deep before this night she never iined what she would feel like as he infiltrated her heart piece by tiny piece She was falling for hi in love

Chapter 12

Rob pulled on his jeans and threw on a shirt before he stepped out of his roolanced at his bed where Martina lay, warm and soft She was in his bed Not Aleks’s bed

Friday night the thought of sharing Martina with Aleks was a turn on but the real act ard Unsettling What did that say about his intentions? What irl different from all the others? The fact that she looks at you like forever

He grabbed a beer froh the digital television guide The only thing running through hisin his bed

It was only nine at night It felt like a week had gone by since Martina showed up at his door this afternoon He ired The next naling it was tio to work

He didn’t knoas going to happen with Aleks when they finally interacted There was so different about the way they made love to her Aleks was a little less exuberant He’d kept his touching to a minimum and left with barely a word once they’d had their ith her It was as if he could sense his untas for hih so as not to seem disinterested, but Rob could tell he’d held back

Sex with Martina was off the charts The chemistry between them sizzled but more than that he couldn’t wait to be with her They had slept together again, really slept, and she didn’t see out another man’s name in her sleep He wanted to believe that was because he had erased all other ht be Aleks

She was slowly divulging snippets of her past, but he still had the sinking feeling there was a lotCould it have to do with the man whose name she’d screamed in her sleep? Did he du? Is that what pro connections?

The weirdest part of the whole situation was that he’d never wanted to learn these things about other women They served their purpose for a little physical distraction, and then he dropped them Not one had the potential of forever Deep down that’s what he was looking for

He wanted what his parents had In thirty years he wanted to celebrate his anniversary with a woman who looked at him with love and happiness He didn’t kno Carrie felt about love and e, but she seeh he suspected it was for a co Aleks Turko

There was so sad in Martina’s eyes He wondered if everyone saas hidden behind her eyes or if it was just him

With his finger still scrolling through the directory he heard Aleks’s door open then a loud obnoxious yawn bellow from behind

“I thought I heard someone out here”

“Yeah”
