Page 90 of Until You

But she also realized she was making out with Tyler in broad daylight on a Tuesday afternoon.

She stepped back, but he still held his hand on her back.

“Sorry,” he said. “I swore to myself I wouldn’t touch you at lunch, but I find you so fucking irresistible.”

Sucking in her breath, she dealt with a new wave of desire. Seven couldn’t get here fast enough. “Maybe,” she said softly, “we should stop pretending.” She looked up into his eager eyes. “I think we should just give in and accept that we have crazy, off-the-charts chemistry and make the most of it. And then when the wedding comes, maybe we’ll have worked it out of our systems so it will be easier to say good-bye.” But even as she said the words, she knew how crazy it was. She was fairly certain she was only going to get more attached, yet she was powerless to stop the train wreck. Strangely enough, she didn’t care.

He answered with his mouth, but not with words. “Clothes,” he said, when he lifted his head. “Bring lots of clothes.”

She grinned. “Because?”

“Because I might not let you leave.”

She laughed, and her phone rang in her purse. She took several steps back, out of his reach. “I’m surprised I made it this long without a call. I’ll see you tonight.”

He turned serious. “Can I drop you off at your office? Or your store…? Where are you even going?”

She wanted to be done with the secrecy about her job. But although she might be leaving Margot Benson, she still had an NDA to consider. “My office is close by. It would take as much time to walk there as it would to your car in the parking garage.”

He flashed her a sexy grin. “Are you sure?”

No. She wasn’t sure at all. Telling him no took more willpower than she expected. Taking several more steps backward, she grinned. “I’ll see you tonight.”

Then she turned around and crossed the street before she changed her mind.
