A Baby Under the Tree (2011)
“Yesterday, when they’d shut off the TV and turned in for the night, she’d purposely faced the wall. But for some reason, by the time morning rolled around, their bodies had seemed to find each other.
At least, her body had sought out his.
She probably ought to move before he opened his eyes and realized that she’d somehow crept from her side to his, but it felt so natural to lie with him, so good to snuggle up against him.
It seemed as though they hadn’t slept together in ages, even though it h...ad only been the night before. And she tried to figure out why it felt as though such a long time had passed.
The connection they seemed to share? The healing she’d found in his embrace?
Meeting Shane last March had been the first step in getting over the effects of her divorce and restoring her confidence as a woman, something Thomas’s infidelity had sent reeling. And now that she and Shane had come together again, now that they were developing a… What? A friendship?
As she lay stretched along the length of him, her body pressed against his and taking comfort in his warmth, his strength, his presence, it seemed as though there was more than friendship going on here, although she was reluctant to admit just what it was.MoreLess
