chapter 21

Samantha“Three, two, one, shoot!”I lifted my shot glass and tipped it back into my mouth. The tequila burned as it slid down my throat. I shivered before sticking the lime into my mouth to suck.“Woohoo!” Mandy exclaimed, already well beyond tipsy. “Another round!”Letting out a laugh, I grabbed her hand, tugging her away from the bar.“Let’s take a breather,” I said. “We don’t need you passing out before midnight.”Mandy blinked at me and nodded. “Oh! You’re right! Thanks for looking out for me, Sam.”I led her to a table and sat her down before turning back to get her some water from the bar.The other bridesmaids made their way over to the table to gather around her, but Jessica stayed back and met me as I reached the bar. She was part of the bridal party as well, though it wasn’t surprising.We lived in a small town, after all. Everyone was pretty much friends with everyone.“How’re you feeling?” she asked me with a grin.I chuckled and sighed. “I’m good. It’s been a while since

Ryan I felt oddly angry as I glared at Samantha.It hadn’t taken long upon arriving at the bar to realize the women were there as well.They hadn’t noticed us at first, and Jason and I had broken off from the rest of the bachelor party to sneak up on the ladies and surprise them.My eyes had been locked on Sam.I hadn’t been able to tear my gaze away from her, but as we drew near, I could hear what she was saying.She’d rather be celibate than ever sleep with me.Ouch. Why did that sting so bad?She spun around and looked at me with wide eyes.“Jesus, Sam,” Jason declared, though I could hear mirth underneath his scolding tone. “Do you have absolutely no filter? Super classy.”Her face turned bright red, and her eyes darted around nervously.“I-it was a joke,” she muttered, averting her gaze from me.“Bullshit,” Jason scoffed.Sam licked her lips and scratched at her cheek. The awkwardness in the air was palpable.Deciding to take some pity on her, I said, “I want to talk to you. Alo

chapter 23

SamanthaWhen I woke up the next morning, I briefly wondered if I’d died and gone to hell.That’s how shitty I felt.My head was throbbing, and my stomach churned.I thought I was going to be sick, and I struggled to build up the energy to even get out of bed.At length, I forced myself to open my eyes. Flinching at the muted sunlight coming in through my thin curtains, I slowly pushed myself so I was sitting upright. Slipping my feet to the floor, I sat on the edge of the mattress for a moment as I fought not to vomit on my floor.After several seconds, I felt stable enough to stand, and I staggered to my bathroom. I reached the toilet just in time and emptied my stomach into the porcelain bowl.It took me a while to feel stable enough to push back up to my feet. I washed my face and brushed my teeth, then went back into my room and got dressed.Feeling somewhat normal again, I made my way downstairs to the kitchen and started brewing a pot of coffee. I needed to finish sobering up b

chapter 24

RyanI heard the sound of little feet and a child’s voice rushing toward the kitchen.Sam shoved me away with wide eyes.Henry was home, and I was still there. It was not what I’d planned, and it was definitely not what Sam wanted. I watched as her shock quickly turned to panic. She grabbed the front of my shirt and shook me.“You can’t say anything,” she insisted in a hiss, her gaze a little crazy. “You can’t say anything to Henry about who you are, okay? Please, Ryan. Promise me!”I was stunned by how anxious she was. It was almost fearful.Not wanting her to lose her shit completely, I nodded.“Okay, I promise,” I assured her. “I won’t say anything.”She closed her eyes and released a breath of relief. Opening her eyes again, she pushed away from me and slapped a big smile on her face.At that moment, a little boy came barreling into the kitchen.“Mama! Mama! Grandpa and I went fishing yesterday! I caught three!”The boy, Henry, stopped next to Sam and I. He beamed up at his mother

chapter 25

SamanthaI watched as Henry led Ryan out of the kitchen. My chest tightened at the sight, and once again, I found myself trying to push away any thoughts about what could have been if anyone had known that Henry was Ryan’s.It didn’t matter now, though, as I couldn’t go back and change the past. I knew the best thing for everyone going forward was for me to let those thoughts go and focus on the here and now.My parents didn’t stay much longer and didn’t ask me any questions about Ryan, which I was thankful for.Once they’d left, I made my way upstairs. I was curious to see what Ryan was like with Henry. I could hear my son chatting as I neared his bedroom door, and when I peeked inside, I couldn’t help but grin.Henry had Ryan sitting on the edge of his little, twin-sized bed and was holding up one of his trucks to show it off as he explained every single feature of it in detail.“When you back it up, you have to say beep, beep, beep, so everyone knows, okay?” the little boy said in

I wanted to believe him. I really did, but the wound he’d given me was soul-deep, and I wasn’t sure how to heal it completely.However, I didn’t want to completely shut the door to any opportunity for Ryan to have a relationship with Henry.After seeing him interact with my boy all day, I couldn’t deny that Ryan was good with our son. He might deserve a chance, but I had to figure out how to forgive him for the past first.“I need to think about it,” I told him at length. “I’m not saying no, but there are things I have to work through before I say yes.”I glanced up at him, and my heart thumped in my chest when I saw the hope shining in his gaze.“Okay.” He nodded. “That’s fair enough. Thank you, Sam. Even that much means the world to me.”I was feeling overwhelmed with emotion as he spoke, and his touch was doing funny things to me. Part of me wanted to take my hands away from his, but another, stronger part wanted him to touch other parts of me.Holy crap, what was I thinking? I tol

chapter 27

RyanI couldn’t sleep.I’d been tossing and turning for hours, but I couldn’t get my mind to calm down enough to actually allow me some rest.I couldn’t stop thinking about Sam and Henry.After leaving her house, I had returned home frustrated and confused but as much with myself as with her.Waking up that morning, I’d never have guessed the day would have taken such an incredible turn.Not only had I finally met Henry, but I’d gotten to spend so much time with him…with my son.I knew I’d never be able to go back to the way things had been before. I needed to find a way to keep Henry in my life. I needed to convince Sam that I wasn’t the same guy I’d been seven years ago.For a short period of time, I thought I might have done just that.When she was writhing beneath me, consumed by lust and desire, I’d thought I’d finally broken through with her.However, I had to remind myself that it was one thing for a woman to entrust a man with her body. It was a completely different story when

Samantha“Oh, good, this one fits much better. What do you think, Sam?”I looked over my reflection in the large trifold mirror in front of me and nodded to Mary, the owner of the town’s dress shop.“It’s perfect,” I told her with a relieved smile. “Thank God. I was trying not to panic, but it was cutting it really close.”Mary patted my shoulder. “I’m still not sure how the mix-up happened with the dress sizes, but I’m going to figure it out, so we make sure it doesn’t happen again. Thankfully, they were able to ship this one right away, and it doesn’t look like it’ll need any tailoring other than a little hemming at the bottom of the skirt. Nothing I can’t finish up before the wedding, though.”I released a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding. “Great. The last thing I wanted to do was tell Mandy that my bridesmaid dress didn’t fit two days before the wedding.”Mary chuckled, but the sound was strained. I could see her shoulders sag as the stress of the situation drained from h

chapter 29

RyanI drove to Sam’s house to pick her up for our date, and I was more nervous than I’d ever been to take a woman out.Sam wasn’t just any woman, though, and winning her over meant way more than just another notch in my bedpost. I didn’t want to mess this night up.When I arrived at her house, I parked the car in the street, got out, and made my way up to her front door. I took a moment to take a deep breath and steel my nerves before I hit the doorbell. I told myself to play it cool, to use my charm.Finally hitting the doorbell, I held my breath. A few moments later, the door opened, and that breath left my lungs in a rush.“Sam, holy shit…”She was stunning in a black bodycon dress that hugged her curves. It had a sweetheart neckline that showed off a tasteful amount of cleavage, and she’d let her dark brown hair fall loose around her shoulders. She was gorgeous, and I could only stare at her with my jaw dropped for several long moments.Her cheeks turned pink, and she gave me a s

chapter 30

I hadn’t expected that question, but I’m kind of glad she asked it. It was the elephant in the room, and it was best that we just get it out of the way.Folding my hands in front of me, I leaned a bit closer and answered, “I was scared. I wish I had a better explanation, but I don’t. I was young and scared and stupid. It’s the biggest regret of my life.”She appeared to consider my words for several tense moments.Slowly, she questioned, “Were you scared of me?”“Not of you,” I admitted. “I was scared of my feelings for you.”Her lips parted. “Your feelings for me?”I let out a self-conscious grunt. “Yeah, I hadn’t realized what I felt for you until that night. I always thought you were just Jason’s little sister, but that night, I realized just how attracted I was to you. How much I wanted you. It was so intense, it terrified me.”“Why didn’t you say anything to me? Why didn’t you ever come back?”I rubbed at the back of my neck and shrugged. “I’m a coward, plain and simple. I though
