СКАЧАТЬ was getting more intense the more time he spent with her. Something had to give. One of them had to say what was now glaringly obvious.

      He turned so they were facing one another. The heat between them had ramped up another notch. And then another. “Can I say something that might be highly inappropriate?”

      She met his gaze without blinking. “Go ahead.”

      He took a breath. “I’m...the thing is... Even though I know it’s kind of crazy because we’ve only just met, I’m really... I’m really attracted to you.”

      The air between them was suddenly thick with silence and he immediately expected outrage. But it didn’t come. Instead, she inhaled deeply and spoke. “I know. It’s mutual.”

      “But it’s out of the question, right?”

      She nodded. “Absolutely.”

      “And if I forget that over the course of the next few weeks, will you smack me upside the head to bring me to my senses?”

      “If that’s what you want.”

      “I think we both know,” he said quietly, “what I want. This is about what’s best. I need to keep my head screwed on straight while I’m here, for Maisy’s sake.”

      “I agree.”

      She was in agreement. It was all going to work out fine. But still, Cole wasn’t entirely convinced that they could ignore the tension and awareness between them.

      He pushed himself off the counter. “Great,” he said as he passed her and headed for the door. When he reached the doorway, he turned. “I think I’ll skip the coffee. And, Ash,” he said, looking into her eyes. “Maybe you shouldn’t wear that sexy little dress anymore. Because it seriously messes with my good intentions.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
