Naughty Neighbors (16 page)

“I have love,” Carly assured her. “But love isn’t always enough when the man you desire is sleeping in another woman’s bed.”

“I don’t doubt Kemper’s love for you. What I doubt is if he can ever be happy with one woman.”

“I guess we’ll have to wait and see.”

“Does he know you’re here this weekend?”

“Of course. He encouraged the visit.”

“What’d he say?”

“He assured me of his love, but then he said we should take a break so he can explore whatever it is he is feeling for Heather. He also said for me to be sure of my love for him.”

Kara swallowed the lump in her throat.

“I know that look,” Carly said. “Let me guess. When the two of you discussed how you’d feel about adding me in the mix, you didn’t go on a hiatus?”

“No, we didn’t.”

“Then that tells me a lot.” Carly took a deep breath and hollered out to Zak, “Hey there handsome. Do you have any good looking friends, by chance?”

Zak laughed and walked inside.

“Really now,” Carly muttered. “I don’t think your man is too fond of me.”

“He’s not about to fix you up with his buddies.”

“Why not?”

Kara said, “They’re all athletes or gamblers. You know what that means—most of them are real players.”

“Sounds like he knows my type of men.” She shot Kara a wink. “And Kemper said we were on a break.”

“Don’t try to play this off, Carly. I know that must’ve hurt.”

“At first.”

“And now?”

“The way I see it? Kemper made another detrimental error. I’m tired of sitting on the sidelines. I’m ready to play the field, too.”

“What do you say we plan a night out on the town then?”

“I say let the games begin!”
