.Liam saw it all and knew he dnever see any of it again, and the idea of that hurt far more than Liam thought it would,but despite what Marc had just said, he wasn t going to back down on this, no matterthe temptation. Give up, Marc, he pleaded.Marc scowled and pushed his face even closer to Liam s. No, I m not giving upon you. Marc s fury was tangible, his breath now coming in short, harsh pants. Andyou shouldn t give up on yourself, he growled.Then before Liam realized what Marcwas going to do, Marc kissed him.There was none of the hesitation Marc had shown previously.This kiss was full-on and possessive.Marc demanded Liam open his mouth, pressing forward with histongue, forcing an entry which Liam couldn t prevent.And if he was really honest, hedidn t want to.Groaning, Liam instinctively slid his arms around Marc s waist andhauled him closer, only remembering Marc was naked when his palms met warm fleshand firm muscles.Spreading his fingers, Liam let them roam, gratified as Marc s bodymelted beneath his touch.But Marc wasn t passive in their embrace.He pressed closer,slipping a thigh between Liam s and rubbing seductively against him.The thickness ofhis cock was hot and heavy on Liam s hip, causing Liam s to thicken and swell inresponse.Christ, how did the man turn him on so quickly and completely? Why was itthat in Marc s arms he forgot reason and instead just wanted? Caught up in Marc s kiss,Liam didn t try to figure it out.Instead he let himself be pulled into the pleasure Marcevoked, but just when he d decided to ignore his better judgment and push Marc backto the bed, Marc wrenched his mouth and body free. You re going to miss that, Liam.You re going to miss me, pliant and supple inyour arms, wanting you, naked for you, hard for you.Are you really willing to give that Penny Brandon | Choices 100up? Are you really willing to walk away from someone who can give you all that forthe rest of your life? No.The answer which entered Liam s mind wasn t the one he wanted to say, oracknowledge.He stared at Marc, afraid, and now unsure.Fuck, he knew Marc woulddo this to him.Was that why he hadn t just left as soon as he d woken up? Because he dwanted Marc to talk him out of it?Closing his eyes he leaned against the wall at his back, still conscious of Marcstanding next to him.No.The answer was no.He wasn t willing to walk away, but hehad to.He opened his eyes. Marc No. Marc s strong voice cut across Liam s excuse.His expression was fierce, hisdetermination even more so. I m not going to let you hurt me or yourself.Andignoring what we can have together will hurt. Then Marc s expression inexplicablychanged.The light in his eyes faded, and his shoulders slumped.He suddenly lookedas uncertain as Liam felt, and on Marc that wasn t right. I need you, Liam.Withoutyou I don t know what my life is going to be like. Without me you could have the love you deserve, Liam insisted. You couldhave that family you wanted. Though Liam knew he was making sense, he didn t likethe image his words conjured up.Marc with children was okay, but Marc with a wife?Liam couldn t suppress the shiver of aversion which ran down his spine.And hecouldn t help but admit the thought of Marc belonging to someone else made hisstomach clench in distress.But Marc couldn t belong to him.Not unless Liam changedhis mind about loving him. The only person I want, the only person I m supposed to have is you.No one butyou. The sadness in Marc s eyes was painful to see and it almost made Liam waver.Almost.It took a lot of strength to walk away from Marc then, and Liam honestly didn tknow how he did it.If Marc had said something else, Liam seriously guessed he Penny Brandon | Choices 101wouldn t have been able to.But Marc said nothing, and as Liam turned his back on him,he continued to say nothing.However it was that silence which expressed more thanLiam could handle, and as he closed the front door behind him, he wanted that silenceto end. Penny Brandon | Choices 102Chapter SevenFor the fourth time that day, Liam found his concentration shot.He stood staringdown at the plans in his hands and couldn t make the damn math work.Cursing, hestuffed stiff fingers through his hair and looked wildly around the building site, at thepile of timber which wouldn t go together, and the workmen waiting for hisinstructions.The worksite had come to a halt as Liam tried to work out what he wasdoing wrong.He retraced the line of roof trusses on the blueprints, wondering why theones on his plan didn t match the ones on the actual roof. Having trouble? Fuck off. So that a yes? Liam turned and scowled at his foreman.Pete, a friend since childhood and a manhe d worked with for over ten years, looked patiently back.Large and thickset, Petedidn t look like a man you tangled with, but he was kind and patient with a sharp brainand a sharp wit. Do you want me to take a look? Pete indicated the blueprints Liam wasscrewing up in his hands. I ve got it, Liam retorted, barely able to stop himself from growling. Looks like you ve lost it to me.You gonna snap out of this anytime soon, or doyou think it might be better to send the men home? What? Liam didn t know why he sounded surprised.Pete would have knownsomething was wrong, probably the first day on site.Hell, anyone probably could haverealized from the way he d snapped at his workers and looked half wrecked the pastfew days.Thank fuck, none of them would know why. Penny Brandon | Choices 103Pete raised an eyebrow, which was his way of saying, don t fuck with me.Liamwas tempted, but the last time he and Pete went head to head, Liam had lost. I m fine, Liam said, trying to put some truth into his words.He would be fine ifhe could get Marc off his mind. Liam, you re not fine.I know you re not sick, but something s not right either [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
