Page 19 of Kiss Away Your Pain (Wounded Hearts 2)

“What? That’s crazy,” she says and shakes her head. “Small world.”

I pull up to the four-level condo and put on my flashers then get out and open her door, offering my hand.

“Thank you,” she says, slipping her hand into mine. Warmth crawls up my arm from her touch.

“What floor are you on? I’ll take you up.”

“Second.” She heads to the lobby and I follow her, catching a quick view of her ass swaggering. We get in the elevator and she hits the two button. I resist the temptation of trapping her against the back wall and kissing her delicious lips. “Thanks again for the ride home.”

We ride the elevator in silence as I struggle to not get hard.

The elevator opens and she leads us to her door, 204. “This is me.” She turns to face me and looks up at me with her beautiful brown eyes.

I want to keep talking to her. I want to share the pizza she’s going to order. I want to kiss her.Don’t fuck it up.

“Hey, since we live so close, how about I swing by on Tuesday and pick you up? You know, like a proper date?”

“Um.” Her gaze flickers between my eyes. “Okay,” she says softly.

I take a small step back when I want to step forward. “See you Tuesday. Five thirty?” I continue taking steps back to control myself.

Her nod is slow with the sexiest damn smile that makes me want to stalk forward, pin her against the door, and kiss her.

I wait until she’s unlocked her door and steps inside before I turn and leave, hoping my car hasn’t been towed.

Tuesday night. Two and half days until I get to see her again. No chance she won’t be monopolizing my thoughts.
