He hadn't thought so long and hard and deep about a woman since Catalina. But now, he constantly fought with memories of Holly invading his thoughts. He couldn't deny that he was hurt.
And it was a feeling he hadn't given room to fester for years. Ryder was always the heartbreaker.
Now, he was the one nursing a broken heart.
His mind went to Holly and once again he pondered on the one question that seemed to be on a constant loop in his mind.
Was it all a lie?
Did she really feel nothing for him?

Seeing her naked was too much of a shock for him."What are you doing on my bed?"Catalina pouted a little as she bared herself to him shamelessly."Don't be like that.
