“Why?”
She didn’t want to give away the whole show. She simply said, “Because I think you and I are very good together. I want to expand on that.” Before he could press her, she hurried on. “Will you try what I’m suggesting?” she asked, holding her breath as she waited for his answer.
He met her steady gaze. The word “yes,” came out as a low rumble in his chest.
She let out the breath she’d been unconsciously holding. “Where do you want to stay? Down here? Or should we go back north?”
“Maybe home is better, where I can get back to work. I’m in Paramus, the cheap mortgage district.”
“Okay. We’ll go up there. Then you’ll have something to do during the day besides sit around staring at me.”
Leaning over, she sealed the bargain with a kiss. A kiss that she intended to keep light. But it flared up like a match set to dry tinder—leaving them both breathless and shaky.
And leaving her wondering just how long she was going to be able to keep herself from dragging him to bed.
