“Oh my!” She let out a surprised gasp. “Kael.” Her perfectly made-up face broke out into a broad grin. After freeing one hand, she snaked it out in Kael’s direction. “It’s been so long.”

Kael accepted the woman’s hand, but the puzzled look on his face clearly said he did not remember her. “Yes, it has been long.” He pasted on one of his killer smiles that was guaranteed to melt any woman’s limbs on the spot. This time was no exception; all three women present were enchanted by that smile.

  • Forbidden Attraction : Loving You Was (Completed)   The End

    Epilogue Seven years later Sol and Kael sat side by side on one of the wooden slab benches in the neighborhood park. Sol shaded her eyes from the glaring sun as she kept her gaze on the small figure coming up to bat. Kael’s attention was also focused on their child. This was Alex’s first Little League game and they wouldn’t have missed it for the world. The years up until now had been, not surprisingly, peaceful, although they’d had their share of ups and downs as most married couples do. Kael’s nightmares had ceased years ago as he had come to grips with his abusive past, knowing in his heart that he was in no way like his father. Sol had quit her job at the department store soon after Alex was born, accepting Kael’s offer of becoming partners in Pump ‘em Up. They had opened two other gyms since then. Not only was she the workout instructor at the main site, but she also ran training classes specifically designed for all aspects of motherhood. From the stages of early pregnancy

    Days and nights blended one into another. Sol was in her ninth month, the baby was due any day now and Kael was beginning to get antsy. Sol still hadn’t consented to marrying him, though he was sure to ask her at least twice a day, upon awakening and just before falling asleep. As far as he was concerned they were already living as husband and wife. He worked at the gym, came home to a hot dinner and an even hotter woman, waking up with her in his arms each and every morning. And he could honestly say he had never been happier in all of his life. If only Sol would agree to be his wife. He knew it was just a piece of paper and a little band of gold, but it was the principle of the thing. Sol was his and he was hers, in their hearts and in their lives. Still, he wanted them to belong to each other in law as well. He sat in his cluttered office at the gym going over some facts and figures. Pump ‘em Up was doing quite well and he was still thinking about buying the empty space across to

    Sol did something she rarely succumbed to and decided to take the day off from work. Last night she and Kael had stayed up until the wee hours of the morning making love, discussing his family, her family, good times, bad times, the past, present and future. Still no words of everlasting love and commitment had been spoken, but Kael made it clear that he intended to be in their child’s life until his dying day. He just hadn’t indicated how close he wanted to be with their child—or her, for that matter. As she prepared dinner, awaiting Kael’s arrival home, she knew tonight was to be the night. She had to tell Kael she loved him, and face his reaction once it was out in the open. She had called him earlier, asking if he could have Rick lock up tonight so he could come home earlier than his usual nine or ten o’clock. At first he had been worried, thinking something was wrong with either her or the baby. After ten minutes of assuring him of their good health, he had calmed down, becomi

    When they got back to Sol’s place, Kael took her hand, leading her down the hallway and to the bathroom where they shared in a hot, languorous shower. Emerging some time later, and after dressing, they’d wandered to the kitchen. This new closeness between them was too fresh, too new, and Sol didn’t know what rules this once again adopted facet of their relationship would entail. For now they were content to remain silent as they consumed the beef stew she had left cooking all day in the crock-pot. When the meal was over and dishes washed, they sat at the small kitchen table sipping tea. Sol knew there were things that needed to be said, but was afraid to break the magic carpet of sensuality and happiness they had been riding on for the past few hours. “I hate tea,” Kael commented, interrupting the silence, staring down into his mug. “I know,” Sol said, looking at him over the rim of her own rainbow-colored cup. Kael frowned. “Then why do you always insist on tea instead of coffe

    *******As a male lion senses his mate’s presence, Kael stopped his intense workout. For the past odd months this had been his way to detour his mind from the shambles Sol had him in. Resting the barbell on the supports to each side of his head, he sat upright, avoiding the heavy metal bar. A gusty breath of wonderment seeped from his lungs as he took in Sol’s appearance. She usually came in much earlier than she had this evening and he never got more than a few brief seconds to say hello, much less examine her with the scrutiny he displayed now. She wore gray pants that looked much as his now sweaty T-shirt, and the stretchy material hugged every curve of her shapely calves and thighs. A bright blue maternity tank top covered her upper body, draping softly over her full breasts and rounded abdomen. A headband matching her shirt in color graced her halo of curls. And he wanted her. Wanted so badly to make love to her. But what was he going to say? For what seemed like an eternity h

    After making a stop at the library for some more parenting books and DVDs, Sol headed to the gym. She was still a little pissed at Kael after what he’d pulled yesterday, yet she couldn’t deny that he was indeed confused over their relationship. So was she. She smiled in spite of her residue of anger. He really was a sweet guy, and fussed over her. She ate up every bit of it, too, though she knew his turn-around was for the baby’s sake. To Kael she was still Soleil the Tomboy, a buddy. Hadn’t yesterday proved that? As she switched off the ignition and exited her car, a chilly, foggy wind seeped into her bones and the words to an old song ran through her mind: Take me as I am or let me go. But when she walked through the glass doors and the warm interior of Kael’s place, the look he graced her with when he caught sight of her made her want to believe he would never want anyone except her. “Hi there.” He came from around the reception desk to plant a kiss on the top of her head. “St
