All Chapters of Forbidden Attraction : Loving You Was (Completed): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Eleven years later Sol sat cross-legged on the floor while Kael lay draped over her sofa like tinsel on a Christmas tree. Both held a white quart-sized container of their favorite Chinese food. Sol had sweet and sour shrimp with steamed rice, while Kael devoured his Kung Pao chicken—extra spicy. This was their customary Friday night dinner get-together and indepth conversation that was guaranteed to get the old brain cells puffing and panting. Tonight’s topic: single motherhood. “I mean, I’m nearly thirty-years-old,” Sol said, pointing at him with a white plastic fork. “I’ve all but given up on finding a husband. My biological clock is in its final hours. I don’t want to waste what fertile years I have left waiting for Prince Charming to come along and sweep me off my feet.” She snorted, placing the fork and empty cardboard container on the coffee table in front of her. “I could be dead and buried before he ever came along. In fact, I seriously doubt that there is a man for me out

A week later Sol was officially ready. She was also nervous as hell. Since last Friday she had thought and re-thought over Kael’s proposition. As they had both concluded, it was logical. It was also very weird. Before, she and Kael would be completely at ease in each other’s company. Now, they still were, to a degree, but there was also something lying just below the surface. Something that she often caught glimpses of in those dark, sleepy eyes of his. Expectation. Anxiety. Desire. And it was driving her bonkers! Kael had been patient, though he continually tossed her one of his lady-killer smiles every chance he got while they were at the gym. She wanted to be the one in charge of the situation, yet she felt like a helpless mouse being stalked by a big, lanky, smooth-talking feline. Of course, it was just pure nerves on her part. Kael was still only Kael. He hadn’t changed one of it since making his generous offer. Yet she felt as if she was beginning to change. She was seeing

Sol wriggled on top of him when she felt his arousal spring to life, knocking against her inner thighs like an insistent salesman. She didn’t have to be sold, she was a satisfied consumer. “Mmm … can we do that again?” Kael blinked several times. “You really want to?” “How could I not?” She laughed softly, resting her chin on her fists which were on his damp chest so she could look at him. His eyelids were heavy. Sex popped into her mind and coursed through her body. Making love seized her heart. “It was wonderful, Kael. You were wonderful.” “I had help.” He twined a curl around his index finger. His other arm was bent under the pillow at his head. “I didn’t do much,” she countered. “You were the blazing fire of passion.” “I think we both did some blazing there.” He winked. She trailed her fingers through his underarm hair. She liked the soft, thick tufts. Somehow it was so … male. So goddamned sexy. “Okay, we’ll share the credit.” “Deal.” He ran his hands down the length of her

Sunshine blanketed Kael’s bare body, glowing warmly over his face. In his dream he’d seen Sol standing at the side of the bed, a halo of light all around her naked body, her smile warming him from the inside out, making his entire body pulse and throb with a heavenly sensation. With instincts that had been aroused just since last night, he reached out to cuddle the woman of his dreams, only to have his hands encounter cold, rumpled sheets. Opening his eyes a mere slit, he saw her side of the bed was empty. He grunted, not happy with what he found. Or, more precisely, what he didn’t find: Sol. Mind still hazy, he tumbled out of bed, slipped on his white, ribbed jockeys and went in search of his woman. When he got to the doorway he stopped. His brows puckered as he ran that last thought through his dull brain and a lazy hand through his hair. His woman? He shrugged. What the hell? He continued ambling toward the living room. She was his woman, in a strange sort of way. For a while

Chapter 9Sol walked into the air-conditioned building, stepping onto the smooth, blue carpeting. The place was nearly empty as she spotted only five people in the whole room, which was twice as big as her home, and was filled with the latest in workout machines as well as free weights. It wasn’t surprising that the gym was so sparsely filled though, since most people preferred partying and going out on Friday and Saturday nights rather than exercising. But they’d all be back on Sunday or Monday, she knew, vowing to work off their overindulgences. Kevin was running on the treadmill in his usual attire of micro-shorts and nothing else, and gave Sol a salute as she rounded the reception desk to her customary post. Sol waved back, still in a state of disbelief over Kael’s revelation that he was gay. For a few minutes she busied herself with the paperwork needed for new patrons who had signed up earlier in the day before she’d arrived. She smiled as she again glanced over Kael’s note t
