Chapter 9

Ashley Edwards. And the potent offers he had made. And those vivid, vivid eyes boring into her, daring her to say no. How Jenny had found the strength to walk away, she still didn’t know.

She loved Bryan. She did. And sex with him was always good. Satisfying.

Except for tonight.

And she knew that had everything to do with the attraction she’d felt for a near stranger.

In spite of her appearance, Jenny had never been promiscuous. She and Bryan had been exclusive in high school, exclusive when he returned. In the years between, she’d been picky about who she dated, let alone who she slept with. Not once had she cheated on a guy she was with, nor truly entertained the notion. It wasn’t in her nature to betray another’s trust, no matter how much she might want to. And, for as frustrated as he made her sometimes, she would never dream of hurting Bryan by sleeping around behind his back.
