It should never have happened

Tabitha blinked in surprise, shocked to the point of forgetting to breathe. His words left her doubting if she had heard correctly.

Staring at him, she couldn’t help the images of that night resurfacing in her mind—the intimate moment, the sensations coursing through her body, the pleasant words he spoke. It all came flooding back.

Beyond the pleasure she experienced, something undeniable, he made her feel alive when everything seemed dead.

But what was he saying now? Could he be serious about what he said? That one of the reasons why he was here with her was because he couldn't get enough…

No! Tabitha mentally blocked out his deep, melodic voice that continued to echo.

Still stunned from the sudden encounter and now this, she continued to stare at him.

All her pain was still buried deep in her heart, but she believed that for the second time she had spent with Silas, his presence seemed to be capable of washing it away when they were together.
