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.
