Fool For Love: Fooling Around\Nobody's Fool\Fools Rush In - Plot & Excerpts
—John Updike ANOTHER KNOCK sounded at the door, causing her to jump. “Kate, it’s me, Eric. Open up.” Kate checked to make sure the long robe covered her, knotted the belt again, then smoothed a hand over her damp hair and opened the door. “Yes?” He straightened and his gaze swept from her hair to her bare feet. “Oh…I…wow.” She couldn’t help it—she was female. A tickle of pleasure traveled up her spine. Still, she crossed her arms and maintained a staid expression. “Eric, what do you want?” She wanted the words back as soon as they left her mouth, but they were already out there to be responded to or to be ignored. And Eric wasn’t the kind of man to let something slip by. He wet his lips and adopted a wide-legged stance. “Gee, Kate, I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to say what I want right now.” She swallowed, terrified of the little bolts of awareness traveling over her body. She wished he would laugh or crack a joke. Eric was easier to deal with when he was acting a fool than when he was the way he looked now—eyes hooded with passion, lips parted and hands poised to touch her.
