Lisa’s eyes held a mixture of incredulous disbelief and distress. Shit, the last thing in the world he wanted to do was hurt her.  Well, he had meant to hurt her real good only seconds before, but in a totally different context.  

“You don’t want to...to...” She looked totally floored- her voice was a deep whisper.

“No- I mean, yes- I mean,  I think you can tell how much I want to. Want you...but...”

Lisa visibly grappled with understanding his well presented thought.  Damn! How could he shed light when he was stumbling around like a blind man himself? The blue in her eyes was stunning. Funny how dark the rest of the room had become, and yet her eyes were like a clear beacon in the absolute obscurity of his mind.  He could see them with his eyes closed- dreamt of them, wished to disappear in them.

And now, he would give anything to not see the rising disappointment. 

Well, then, oh ye, greatest male idiot alive, why don’t you get off your high horse and back on track with what you know you wanna do.  Bury yourself in her heat.  Forget everything.  Take what she is offering. No questions asked.

Sadly, life wasn’t that easy. Neither was their relationship.  Making love to Lisa was never a ‘no strings attached affair.’ While it had been an affair only too often.  Like when she had been married to Keough, when he was legally bound to Deb, followed by Lisa and her speed marriage to Cage... All those times they had followed what they felt to be right- and it never had led to anything good.
