once she surmised that she looked presentable enough to face the firing squad , aka aidan and emma , she left the bathroom .
pesh had thrown on some clothes and stood in the middle of the room .
he raised his brows expectantly at her .
`` i 'm ready to go now . ''
`` of course . ''
when she started for the bedroom door , she abruptly stopped .
`` wait , my dress ? ''
`` i 'll send it out to be dry cleaned . ''
`` oh , '' she murmured .
`` thank you . ''
in silence , they made their way through the house .
megan tried not to be so obvious as she took in the high ceilings of the living room , the floor to ceiling windows that overlooked a large , spacious yard .
pesh had an amazing house-one that was far too big for just him .
it certainly was made for a family-the one he sadly did n't have .
as he started to open the door leading out to the garage for her , pesh stopped and turned around .
staring intently at her , he said , `` i 'd like to see you again . ''
megan could n't help the shocked gasp that escaped her lips .
she 'd made a repeated fool out of herself the night before , and he still wanted to see her ?
`` you ca n't be serious . ''
`` i am . ''
she gave a slight jerk of her head .
`` i do n't think that is a good idea . ''
`` but why ? ''
he countered sincerely .
with a contemptuous snort , she replied , `` is n't it obvious ? ''
`` if you 're alluding to the fact you accidentally got drunk last night and then became ill , that has little relevance to me .
accidents happen , and i 'm man enough to realize that . ''
he closed the gap between them .
`` i liked being with you yesterday . ''
remembering what emma had said , megan could n't help asking , `` you want to date me , do n't you ? ''
`` yes of course .
what else would i want to do ? ''
when she replied , `` have sex , '' a flush entered his cheeks .
`` that is not what i meant . ''
`` and that 's a pity . ''
his brows furrowed .
`` whatever do you mean ? ''
`` you and i ... we want different things .
you want to date and get married again , right ? ''
`` yes , that is something i desire very much . ''
she shook her head .
`` but i do n't want to be in a serious relationship right now with you or anyone for that matter .
i 'm certainly not ready to get married anytime soon .
i just wanted to have some fun with someone . ''
pesh frowned .
`` i do n't think i understand . ''
`` what i want from you is the same thing i wanted last night .
just sex , '' she answered honestly .
`` you do n't want to date me ... you only want to have sex with me ? ''
if the situation had n't been so dire , megan might 've laughed at the horrified expression on pesh 's face .
he appeared absolutely floored that she could ever think of only using him as a sex toy .
finally , when she gathered herself together , she shook her head .
`` i 'm sorry , but that 's the way i feel . ''
she braced herself for some sort of wrath out of him or even a lecture .
what he did was even more surprising .
he gave her a sad smile .
`` and i 'm sorry you feel that way because i would have really enjoyed getting to know you better . ''
without another word , he opened the door .
always the gentleman , he waited for her to go through first .
tucking her head to her chest , she bypassed him to walk to the car .
once again , he appeared to open the car door for her .
`` thank you , '' she murmured .
he nodded before walking around the front of the car .
without another word to her , pesh cranked up , and then began backing down the driveway .
the ride to aidan and emma 's was only twenty minutes , but it seemed to take an eternity .
the painful silence hung heavy around her .
pesh did n't look at her .
instead , he kept his gaze firmly on the road ahead of them .
when he pulled into aidan and emma 's driveway , megan felt her stomach clench .
she wished there was some way to make things right between them .
but she had a feeling she had gone too far and said too much .
as he put the car in park , he turned to look at her .
`` thank you for the ride , '' she said .
`` you 're welcome .
it was my pleasure . ''
`` most of all , i want to thank you for taking care of me last night .
you truly went above and beyond .
i can never thank you enough . ''
`` you do n't have to thank me .
i 'm glad i was able to help you . ''
nibbling on her bottom lip , she finally allowed herself to say what she was holding back on .
`` i wish things could be different , '' she said softly .
when she dared herself to look at him , she found him staring intently at her .
`` i 'm sorry , too .
take care of yourself .
okay ? ''
she bobbed her head .
`` the same to you . ''
with trembling hands , she fumbled for the door handle .
when she was finally able to open the door , she stumbled out onto the pavement .
as she made her way up the driveway , she could feel pesh 's eyes on her .
the car remained parked as she climbed the porch steps and rang the doorbell .
she hoped that noah was already up , and she was n't waking the household .
aidan threw open the door .
`` megan ?
what the hell ? ''
he asked .
his question and concern caused her to burst into tears .
`` why are you crying ? ''
aidan demanded .
