EXCERPT: She put her hands on his chest, and she looked into his eyes, and then she leaned up on tiptoes and his breath caught in his throat in the instant before her lips touched his. “Please,” she said against his mouth, voice splintered with pain. “Please, I just need to—I need you to make me feel something else.” Desire shot through him—desire laced with sadness. She was moments from crying again; he could see it as he gently pushed her back an inch or so, raked his fingers through her hair, tried to catch her eye, but she had them closed, her throat rolling with a thick swallow, face etched in lines of hurt. Hurt that he caused—or at least helped with. If only he’d been honest with her from the start, filled her in on Grant’s problems, then maybe now she wouldn’t feel so doubly betrayed. And yet, if he’d done that, he would’ve betrayed his oldest friend. Between a rock and a hard place—that was where he’d been living these past few weeks. But this wasn’t about him. She needed him now, clinging to the front of his shirt, lips parted slightly. She needed him, and he’d give her anything. “Please,” she said again, eyes fluttering open. “Declan. I need you to—” “Okay,” he said. “Okay.” And he took her to bed.
