| Excerpt |
Outside the conference room door, Kyle stopped Ava with a hand on her arm. “By the way, I’m flattered.”
One side of his mouth tipped up, drawing Ava’s gaze. “Flattered?”
“That you’re trying to win me, too.” His voice was quiet and tempting.
Ava jerked her gaze away from his mouth. “I’m not…”
Kyle touched her chin with his knuckles, closing her mouth and stopping her protest. “But there can’t be anything more between us than this.”
He kept his hand under her chin. One simple adjustment, and he’d be cradling her face. One simple shift, and she’d be leaning against him. And the this that he spoke about became complicated and not so simple. “For now or ever?”
His gaze locked on hers and his hand… His hand curved to cup her chin. His thumb stroked one time across her bottom lip. “Both.”
One word that came out raw and rough. The lie was there in his one caress. Ava never stepped away. Never drew back from his touch. She kept her gaze fixed on his, open and unblinking, as if that would prove her next words true. As if that would prove he wasn’t lying, either. “That’s good. Because I feel the same. There can be nothing more between us.”
“Then we both understand.” His thumb twitched against her skin.
Ava understood. Understood she needed to keep her distance from Kyle. Understood the threat he posed to her heart. Understood how hard walking away right now was really going to be. She lingered. “Looks like it.”
