Kate frowned. ‘You’re such a sceptic, Nick.’
‘And you’re such a sucker when it comes to superstition.’
‘I rest my case.’ She shrugged. ‘You’re a Gemini and I’m a Sagittarian. We’re totally opposite and that’s why a relationship would never have worked between us.’
Nick’s gaze moved again to her lips. ‘I could blow a hole in that theory very easily,’ he murmured. There was something dangerously seductive about his words and the way he was looking at her.
She felt her body temperature increase dramatically. ‘So…so why don’t you?’ Kate angled her chin and sent him an unconsciously provocative look from glittering emerald eyes.
‘Because now’s not the time.’ He moved back from her.
About to challenge him to what exactly he meant by that, she changed her mind as he glanced at her again. Maybe some things were better left as they were.
‘And anyway, friendship seems to last longer than everything else, doesn’t it?’ Nick glanced at his watch. ‘And given the fact that we are so…opposite in every way…we are lucky to have that in spades, aren’t we?’
There was a dry irony in the last part of those words but she decided to ignore it. ‘Yes, we are. What time is it?’ she asked.
‘Almost one, we’d better try and get some sleep.’
‘Yes. I suppose we should.’
‘Will you be OK now?’
‘I’ll be fine.’ She smiled at him. ‘You’re right, I am strong and I will bounce back.’
‘Not if you don’t eat, though.’ He pointed to the food beside them on the table. ‘Try and have something.’
She nodded.
‘See you in the morning, then.’ He leaned towards her. Her heart missed a beat as he kissed her on the cheek. She could smell his cologne, feel his warmth. His hand rested lightly on her shoulder, yet she imagined she could feel it burn slightly through the shirt.
‘Sleep well,’ he said as he got to his feet.
She watched as he left the room and closed the door behind him.
Somehow she just knew that she wouldn’t get any sleep at all.
