He would be connected to her in a way he’d never intended to connect himself with another woman. Unlike his father and Francesca’s, he wouldn’t walk away from his child—from his responsibilities.

“I have a birth control implant,” Savannah told him. “So I can’t get pregnant for years.”

So Savannah didn’t want children, at least not any time soon.

She didn’t want to trap him into marriage or anything else. He should have been relieved, but that wasn’t how he felt. He was unsettled.

She hadn’t run earlier, when she’d fallen asleep in his bed, but he had no doubt that eventually she would. When they returned to the hotel, she distracted him again with sex, and when he came out of the bathroom, after cleaning up, he found her gone.

She must have dressed in her jeans and sweater again. For the dress and the shoes sat on the bed, which was still rumpled from the wild sex they’d just had in it. The dress and the shoes were all that she left.

No note again.

She’d left without leaving him her number or even her damn last name so that he could track her down. That had to be because she didn’t want him tracking her down. She didn’t want him to find out any more about her or her life.

What the hell was Savannah hiding from him?

Miranda Fox claimed to have verified that all the members of Liaisons International were single. But Teo was beginning to doubt that was the case with Savannah. Maybe Miranda had made an exception for that rule for her friend.

Maybe Savannah had a husband.

Was that the secret she didn’t want him to learn? The reason she didn’t share her last name with him—because she already shared it with someone else?

Did she have a whole secret life that she was so desperate to protect that she kept running out on him?
