Jamie felt herself flush. “This is still impossible.”
“I know. But…I don’t care. I need you.” He rumbled in his chest, a sound of frustration. “I don’t care if that makes me weak for admitting. I
need
you, Jamie.”
She sagged into him. “I need you too. So what do we do?”
Chase shrugged. “Fuck if I know. I can’t think for needing you, wanting you. All I can think of is kissing you again.” His hand clawed into the muscle of her ass, sinking into the silk of her skirt, pulling her against him. “I want to take you on the couch, right now.”
Jamie whimpered. “Don’t you fucking dare say shit like that.”
“Why not?”
“Because I want that so bad…so bad. I’m about to let you. I’m
this
close to ripping those stupid, sexy leather pants off and raping you on the goddamn floor.” Jamie was trembling from head to toe, shaking with fear and need and lust and excitement.
Chase’s hands were shaking too, his breathing was shuddering, his cock a hard rod between them. “Fuck, Jamie. We can’t. We can’t. If we do, there’s no going back.”
Jamie laughed mirthlessly. “There’s already no going back.”
“I know.”
Jamie lifted her chin to gaze up at him, her palms caressing the stubble on his scalp at the back of his head. She knew she shouldn’t be here. She knew this couldn’t be, couldn’t happen, but it already was happening.
She lifted up on her toes to kiss him, and something deep in her heart caught, tripped, and shattered. His lips were tender on hers, tasting her mouth, not demanding more but exploring, treasuring.
His palm slid down her ass to pull up the skirt, and she desperately, frantically wanted him to lift it, to touch her bare skin.
No.
She couldn’t do this to Anna.
Jamie snatched at the last vestige of self-control she had, a spidersilk tendril of hesitation. She stumbled away from him, back, back against the door, clutching the doorknob in her fist.
She ignored the single tear slipping down her cheek. “
Goddamnit
.”
Her heart was cracking, but she made herself turn the knob, thinking of Anna’s face when she’d seen Chase in Vegas. It would be like that every single time they saw each other. That thought was impetus enough to twist the knob and slip out, her lips tingling, her body trembling, her skin on fire and her core throbbing with un-sated need. She wiped the tear away with her knuckles and let herself feel the hurt.
Pain was better than need.

Chase watched Jamie slip away once more. She kept running from him, sneaking out of his grasp. She was right, he knew she was. He’d seen the thoughts pass across her face, saw the determination settle onto her features.
Anna’s face crossed his mind, her eyes when she saw him onstage in Vegas. That moment…the surprised pain, it was reason enough to stay away. Anna and Jamie were closer than sisters, and Chase knew Anna still had feelings for him. They may have been buried deep and overshadowed by her love for Jeff, but if she saw Chase again, especially on a regular basis, those feelings would find their way to the surface. Which was a surefire way to break up a friendship.
He couldn’t do that to Anna, or Jamie.
She was gone, now. Really gone. He was back out on the road tomorrow; they had a show in Kalamazoo and then Grand Rapids, followed by Marquette and then Green Bay. He would stay far away from Detroit. Far away from Jamie.
He’d stay away if it killed him.
Chase slumped onto the couch, aching in his heart, aching in his body. He rubbed his hand across his scalp, trying to hold on to the feel of Jamie’s hands on his head, on his face.
He nearly jumped up and followed her, then sat back down.
A second time he got up and paced to the door, then turned away.
No fucking way, dickhead. Don’t do it.
But it was no use.
He needed her too badly.
He threw the door open and ran after her, needing to catch her, if only for one last kiss.
