Jason was pretty sure he’d made a big mistake.
He’d had a pretty good thing going before—with Efua as his nanny. It hadn’t fulfilled all of his needs, but at least he’d had her in his life, and his girls had had her too.
Now—because he’d wanted too much, because he’d let her slip out of the designated slot she was supposed to fill—he was afraid he was about to lose her completely.
If Efua had shown any inclination toward wanting more with him—if she’d acted at all like the sex they’d had had meant even half as much as ithad meant to him—he would have thrown caution to the wind and forced himself to tell her his feelings.
But, if she didn’t reciprocate, then he wouldn’t just lose the chance of being with her the way he wanted. He would also lose the chance of being with her at all—even as her boss.
It was too much to lose. He’d lost too much already in his life and had faced the chaos that followed. He wasn’t prepared to risk losing Efua.
