Her fingers brushed his when she took the glass from him, and he felt it all the way in his toes. He was in the process of reminding himself that he was a thrice-divorced, twenty-eight-year-old man, not some hormonal, inexperienced boy; when she apparently took his temperature with her hand, and then began massaging his head. It felt amazing; he had no idea why she was doing this instead of just giving him the aspirin tablets-- and knew that he should probably ask,-- but couldn't bring himself to. Who knew; maybe this was some holistic thing.

It definitely wasn't making his heart rate or his breath speed up, nor was it making him want to haul her against himself and kiss her senseless. And that's what she would see when she met his eyes.

Apparently, it wasn't what she saw. But then, she was clutching his hair and her lips were pressed to his, and his hands were at her hips and he was pulling her close, and she smelled so incredible and tasted like heaven, and all he could think about was how right this felt--

Oh, god, this was wrong. He abruptly pulled his head back at the same time as he moved her away from where he had been settled between his thighs, careful not to shove her, but not exactly taking his time about it, either. "I'm so sorry," he said, quickly sliding away from her and moving toward the door. He couldn't look at her; he didn't know if he would see mortification or desire, but he couldn't handle either right now, not when he had felt something essential shift within him-- at the expense of a relationship to which she had already committed herself. She might have kissed him first, but he should not have returned it. He was no better than that jackass Kate had run off with.

Never mind that he was better off without his most recent wife. That wasn't the point.

He shouldn't have come here; he should've manned up and worked through the headache. He should have his own bottle of aspirin in his desk. "Sorry," he mumbled again, before turning to go. He had to get out of here.
