you’ll be gone soon?” He thought he saw a flash of disappointment in her eyes, but she quickly masked it. “What, you thought I was going to make you a big speech about still being in love with you and wanting you back? I haven’t been pining for you for ten years.”
    â€œThen why do you still want me?”
    â€œBecause we used to burn up the sheets, and I can give you what you really need.”
    She angled her head to one side. “What’s wrong, Rob? Are you trying to recapture your youth because you can’t get it up anymore?”
    He took her hand and placed it over the swell of his cock. “Does that feel like I have a problem to you?”
    She wrenched her hand away and tried to turn toward the door.
    â€œAs I said, I have a lot to do, so can you go now?”
    â€œRun out of insults for the day, have you?” He blew her a kiss. “It’s okay. I know you’ll come around.”
    He stepped back as the door slammed in his face and strolled back to his truck. All things considered, that had gone well. Was it wrong that her anger simply turned him on more? And, dammit, he was turned on and so was she. Had their relationship always been like that?
    He stopped walking. No, she’d adored him, would’ve done anything he asked until he’d scared her into running. He’d been so sure he knew her, but had he ever really bothered to listen to her opinions? And now she wanted to clear the air, whatever the hell that meant.
    He frowned as he started the engine. The idea of asking her to fuck him to make amends had come out of nowhere. It wasn’t really about the fucking anyway; surely she knew that? He’d expected her to turn him down flat, but there had been a hint of interest behind her denial that had turned him on and kept him insisting that was what he wanted.
    Rob wanted to bang his head on the steering wheel. Ten minutes with Ally and he was already behaving like a teenager. And he didn’t need that right now. He had to meet Jackson, who was due back from a training course today, and tell him about the return of the town’s infamous black sheep.

    Through a crack in the dirt-encrusted net curtain, Ally watched Rob leave. His arrogance continued to take her breath away. He thought she’d be good for a quick fuck while she was in town, did he? The trouble was, her hormones agreed with him. She hadn’t had sex with a real person for over a year, and she was slowly dying of frustration.
    Rob, of course, had always been able to turn her on, and nothing had changed there. He’d ruled her world when she was a senior in high school and he was a college sophomore. She wanted him big-time, and somehow her body still trusted him to make it good for her. She picked up her paintbrush and retreated to the kitchen. He kissed like a god—that slight hint of power, of menace, of compulsion she always craved was still there. It made her want to do what he said, when he said it, and not regret a single thing.
    â€œHe’s dangerous, Ally.”
    She glanced around the empty kitchen, aware she was talking to herself again. If she stayed, she should definitely get a cat. With a sigh, she washed the paintbrush out in the sink. But she wasn’t staying, was she? And a cat would only be something that depended on her, and she couldn’t handle that responsibility yet.
    She really shouldn’t argue with Rob, either, but it was so hard to resist. It had been so long since she’d reacted so fiercely to anyone, cared enough to even fight. On some deep level, she knew he wasn’t the kind of guy who would hurt her, even though she’d walked out on him. She couldn’t decide if Jill, her good friend and AA sponsor, would be pleased or horrified with her thought process.
    There was so much work to do in the house; she could do with some help. But could she be alone with Rob for five minutes without jumping him or letting
