She didn’t know what to expect from him next, but it certainly wasn’t the loud rumble of laughter rolling out of him. The sexy sound was almost enough to make her lose her mind again. Almost.

Her question only made him laugh harder. And despite the mixture of annoyance and embarrassment still running through her, she could barely control her lips from curving into a smile. She even had to slap her hand across her mouth to stop it.

At least he wasn’t in panic mode anymore. She’d managed to accomplish something.
