rubbed her back, trying to soothe her. It felt like every muscle in her body was knotted up and that couldn’t be good for her. She needed to be tucked into a large bed and surrounded by men who loved her. Where did that come from? “Did you know crying is good for you?” He needed to distract himself from the runaway train his thoughts had turned into.
    “Really, says who?” She sniffed and wiped her fingers under her eyes but wouldn’t look up at him.
    “It’s true.” He pulled another tissue from the box and handed it to her. “They’ve done studies about how tears cleanse toxins out of your body and releases positive hormones into your system.”
    “Yeah, well, all I have is a headache and I feel like I got hit by a truck.” She straightened and put some distance between them. “I’m sorry for blubbering all over you.”
    “It’s all right.” He ran his fingers along the side of her face and tucked some wayward hair behind her ear. She reminded him of a pixie with her short, tousled hair and big eyes. She blinked up at him and he forgot what made him want to keep some distance between them. His heart pounded against his ribs and that possessive sense washed over him again. He wanted to keep her safe for the rest of their lives.
    He closed the space between them, thankful she didn’t retreat. Could she be caught in the same spell? This had to be some sort of magic. A small tear escaped the corner of her eye and slipped over her cheek. He brushed it away with his thumb, but left his hand cupping her cheek. Her lashes drifted down and she turned her face into his touch.
    A kiss. One kiss was all he wanted and then he would walk away from her, far away from her. She was a single mother and he had no right to even think of inserting himself into her life. He couldn’t survive the heartbreak again when she grew older and he didn’t. To watch a child grow and be denied the right to claim him as his own. He couldn’t do that again.
    One kiss. He leaned down and pressed his lips against the corner of her eye, and then the other, kissing away her tears. He brushed the corner of her mouth next, teasing them both, enjoying the hunger building up in his body. With one hand cupping her face, he pressed against her lower back with his other one, feeling the fine tremble along her skin. His cock thickened and bucked behind his leather pants. A taste. One taste and then he would let her go.
    “Mom!”
    They both started and she jumped back from him, her eyes wide, her fingers pressing against her cheeks. What was I about to do? Lars couldn’t believe how fast the moment had spiraled out of control. He’d had every intention of lifting Tara against the wall and seducing her.
    “Zack, you startled me.” Tara quickly stepped to the side and smiled down at her child. “Is everything okay?”
    “Yeah, but thereth a kitten that wanth to come home with me really badly.” He shifted his weight back and forth from foot to foot.
    “Oh, sweetheart, we can’t take the kitten with us. Maybe once we settle down we can think about a pet, but it’s a big responsibility.”
    “Oh, well, can we live here and then the kitten can come home with uth?”
    Lars felt really bad for the kid and this was quickly morphing into an uncomfortable situation for his mother. “I think I remember Brenna saying the kittens were too young to be separated from their mother quite yet. They need to grow up a bit more.”
    Zack nodded and grinned. “Oh, okay.”
    Tara smiled at him, but Lars could see the exhaustion in every drooping line of her body. Guilt pounded at his thoughts. What the hell was I thinking? She was exhausted and possibly injured from an accident. “Why don’t I take you down to the hotel?”
    “Can I ride on your bike?” Zack bounced, excitement vibrating off him as only an innocent child can give off. Tara, on the other hand, looked terrified.
    “Sorry, buddy, I only have one helmet with me today, but if your mom
