himself.”
    She smiled. She wondered what she’d find out there. She and Bryan had not moved in together, so she had very little left of him. She’d be happy if she could find something there, perhaps a razor or a perfume. Anything that could remind her of his scent.
     

 
     
    Chapter 6
     
    Blaze dived deep under the water, leaving a loud splash behind.
    It was past midnight, but he could not stop thinking about sex.
    Fuck. He wanted just that right now.
    He pushed his head out of the water and took a deep breath. He noticed that the light in the guest room where he put Megan to sleep was on. He wondered if she was watching him. He just hoped she would not come out or he’d be doomed.
    The last time he had fucked a woman was a few days before Bryan’s death. The loss of his bestfriend had not only devastated him, but also shattered his sexual cravings. And now that he’d finally gotten back his appetite, there was only one woman readily available for him—a woman he could not fuck.
    This was all strange to him. He’d never been alone with a woman he could not fuck. He should have driven her back home before dark, but when she asked him if she could spend the night there, he could not refuse her.
    He knew she missed Bryan. She was still struggling to cope up with the lost. In fact, for the whole afternoon, she had stayed in Bryan’s room. He was not sure what she’d been doing there, but he left her be, even if he was bored to death and wanted to have someone to talk to. He had decided to call his mother, who was now residing in Brazil, instead just to pass the time.
    “Blaze?”
    Shit! Talk about the devil. Here she comes.
    Quickly, he pulled himself underneath the water and stayed there for as long as he could hold his breath. When he rose for air, he found her standing right in front of him, wrapped in an oversized robe that belonged to Bryan.
    “Oh, it’s you,” she uttered.
    He frowned. “Who else did you think it was?”
    Her lips parted in the most sensuous way possible. “I was hearing things.”
    Damn those red lips. He couldn’t help his dick from rising.
    That’s a perfect place for his cock—wide enough to accommodate his size.
    Her mouth was a bit too wide for her small-framed, heart-shaped face, but it defined her looks. It perfectly matched her pair of big doe eyes, as well.
    Her beauty was somewhat unique. Even the shade of her copper hair was rare to him.
    He wasn’t sure if she was purposely seducing him, but it was not the first instance she had managed to make him hard this day alone. This noon, after he had pulled her out of the water, she sat at the side of the pool with her knees bent up, showing him miles of long, white thighs. And as she gasped for breath, her chest rose up and down.
    It almost looked like her breasts were swelling before his eyes, and they were reaching for him. Not to mention the generous amount of cleavage peeking out of her wet dress.
    A pair of breasts of her size shouldn’t have that much cleavage, so he was almost certain she was wearing what they called as a magic bra or whatever it was.
    But he had to remind himself that this woman was off limits. He did not want to include his bestfriend’s girlfriend on his database of sex mates. What she needed was someone to love her, not a prick who’d only pound her pussy for one night and get rid of her the next morning. Bryan might crawl out of his grave to cut off his dick. Living without his dick would be worse than death. Bryan knew that.
    He quickly looked away and shook his head. “Go back to sleep.”
    She did not move.
    “What’s wrong?”
    “I’m… scared.”
    He drew his brows together. “Of ghosts?”
    She shook her head. “I’m… seeing things.”
    He smiled. “That’s it. Ghosts.”
    She dropped her eyes to the ground. “Can we just talk for a few minutes?”
    He sighed. He honestly would prefer not to. In his situation, temptation was just around the corner. “Alright,” he said.
