Something wicked urged her to nestle a palm against his cut waist, slide it upward, over his stomach, the side of his chest, until she could dig her fingers in the tender spot under his arm.

      Bad girl. Dumb girl. Girl who had no business even thinking about sex stuff after Chad had proven how incapable she was of handling an intimate situation.

      “Hi,” he said softly, still leaning.

      “Hello. May I come in?” Or maybe not. Could be an awful idea here.

      He paused a moment, his pale blue eyes running over her body until she blushed inside and out. What could a man like him see in a getting-fatter-by-the-moment, bad-news girl? He grinned again, backing up to allow her entrance.

      She stepped into the room, thinking she was doing pretty well poise-wise until she saw it.

      She’d just stepped into a situation she might not be able to handle.
