 No. Well. Your constant sweet talk is getting sort of old. She rolled her eyes, putting on an act.
Nothing Nick did when they were together was getting old.
His mouth curved upward.  What are you talking about?
 All the darlin s and the sugars and the princess remarks. I think you say that sort of thing so you
never have to worry about the name of the girl you re with, she teased.
His face turned frightfully solemn.  You really think that?
Uh oh. She shrugged.  I ve wondered.
 Really. His fingers bit into her flesh, he held her so tight.
 Maybe? He had her doubting herself. How did he do that?
Dope. He constantly keeps you on edge.
 Trust me, I always know who I m with when I m with you. He kissed her the softest, sweetest
kiss ever. So soft, so sweet, she immediately wanted to weep when he pulled away to murmur against
her lips,  Willow.
He never called her Willow. Ever.
She melted into him like a lovesick idiot, sliding her hands up his chest so she could grip his
shoulders. His hands smoothed around her, settling on her backside, and he drew her against his rigid
erection.  I thought maybe you were getting sick of not doing anything but staying here.
 Nick. Every time we re together, we do lots of stuff. She hooked her hands around his neck and
tugged, wanting his mouth on hers again.  Lots of amazing, fun stuff.
 I forced you to go on these so-called dates, he said with a chuckle, though his expression was
somber.  Sort of fucked up, don t you think? I mean, what the hell are we doing? Me blackmailing
you, our fighting early on& though we ve been getting along better lately, don t you think?
She couldn t answer, could only stare at his ruggedly handsome face, those pretty blue eyes
watching her just as carefully as she watched him.
 I m an ass for what I m doing to you, he admitted, his voice full of remorse.
 It may have started out with you forcing me to spend time with you. She weaved her fingers into
his hair.  But I feel like I ve been given a whole lot more, she whispered just before she stood on
tiptoe and pressed her mouth to his. She couldn t believe she said that. How she gave away a piece of
herself to him with that one small admission. But he was acting odd tonight. Like he needed
reassurance. She wanted to give him some, wanted to make him feel better.
 Same here, Will. Damn, same here. He kissed her, his tongue doing wondrous things as it
plumbed the depths of her mouth. Her head spinning, she clung to him, afraid she might slither to the
floor if she let go.
She never wanted to let go.
Somehow they ended up in her bedroom, though she still wasn t quite sure how they made it. He
undressed her, his fingers skimming bare skin, teasing her, making her hot for him.
Oh, who was she kidding? She was always hot for him.
Just as quickly, she stripped him, ridding him of everything except his dark blue boxer briefs. The
soft cotton strained against his thick thighs, his bulging erection, and she took a step back, admiring
this man who d so effectively immersed himself into her life she didn t know what would happen
when he left her.
Because he would leave he had before. What they shared between them was temporary. Nick
didn t do permanent.
Neither did she.
 Like what you see? he drawled. They d had this conversation in a variety of ways since the first
time she said it to him. His words were teasing, his mouth smiling, but his eyes looked dreadfully
serious.
She decided to be honest. Tonight didn t seem like a time for barbed comments and arguments
fueled by mounting sexual tension. She was past it. More than anything, she needed to be honest.
 Definitely. She shoved at his shoulders so he sat on the edge of the mattress, staring up at her, his
hands on her waist.  So much for all you can eat shrimp, hmm?
He laughed and shook his head.  You always keep me on my toes, you know that, Will?
She smoothed his hair away from his forehead, reveling in its silky softness. How she enjoyed
touching him. Looking at him. Teasing him. She was venturing into dangerous territory so easily and
ever since they first started this silly date deal, she hadn t been trying to stop it.  Someone has to. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
