I’d slept with Linc. My boss. My best friend. My I’d slept with Linc. My boss. My best friend. My everything. I closed my eyes and tried to pull myself together, searching for the best way to handle things between us now.

I couldn’t have the man I loved. Nothing fundamental between us had changed. He was Linc Kingston, real estate mogul and a man of wealth and privilege, and I was his assistant and best friend, and I didn’t want to lose our connection. He’d never had a long-term, serious relationship before. Not one he’d mentioned, anyway.

He steered clear of entanglements, and if he ever married, I wouldn’t be the woman he chose. With those thoughts circling around my brain, I was making myself dizzy with anxiety.

I couldn’t look at him as he walked back to bed and sat down beside me.

I wasn’t ready to face him but I turned anyway. “That was incredible,” I blurted and wished I could snatch the words back.

He reached out and caressed my cheek. “It sure as hell was.”

Relief washed over me, and I leaned into the comforting feel of his touch.

“But you know it can’t happen again,” he said, his voice gruff.

I blinked and swallowed over the lump in my throat, his unexpected words gutting me, even as I’d already told myself the same thing.

No way would I let him know he’d hurt me. I drew in a deep breath and blew it out before answering. “Don’t worry. I’m not the type to confuse sex with something more.”

The bed still smelled of us, and I couldn’t lie by his side and stare at him any longer. Turning, I slid off the mattress, and bent to grab my robe from the floor. Moving slowly, as if I wasn’t running from his words.

After wrapping the heavy material around myself, I looked at him. “We’re good,” I said, hoping speaking the words would make them true.

“You sure?” Concern laced both his voice and his expression but I didn’t need or want either.

I nodded.

He’d stretched out on the mattress, and his gorgeous face and muscled body had arousal rising once more.

Nope. Not going to happen.

Shower time, I thought, and walked away, head held high, closed locking the door behind me.
