She’d taken a chance bringing the man home with her. It had been a long time since she’d tried to bring any stranger into this house, much less a man she intended to sleep with. She was a little appalled by her own behavior, but she wouldn’t let that stop her. Being with Keith felt right in a way she’d never expected or experienced.
