Excerpt
My heart stopped beating. “We can
be friends,” he breathed, his lips intensely intimate along my neck. His lips
hesitated over my throat. “Or we can be more.”
My nerves kicked into high gear.
More? More what? I had to keep reminding myself of what he was. I also had to
remind myself to inhale and exhale. He was playing with my emotions. One moment
he was charming and the next, well, that was the question. I fought internally
with how to respond. I wasn’t even sure if I could respond with his mouth so close to me.
