“If you’re in troub le, I know some people who can help.” “I’m not in trouble. Really, I’m not. I mean who wo uld want to kill me? I know bankers aren’t exactly popular—” she lets loose a shaky laugh “—but I’m ha rmless.” Harmless? Not sure about that. Jess sends my heart racing, makes my skin clammy. She’s driving me insane. Harmless? No way. “What do you want me to do?” I ask. “Do?” “Shall I stick around?” “Oh. No, you don’t need to do that.” “I don’t mind.” “I’m fine. Seriously. Thank you for today. You must be tired and I bet your side hurts.” It does, but I’m not going to admit to that. “It’s fine.” “Look about that kiss....” “That was my fault.” “I kissed you.” “You did.” I can’t resist letting my mouth curve up wards. She kissed me, but I don’t know if that’s a bad or a good thing. While my pride basks in it, the vo ice inside that keeps pulling at my gut wants to sc ream at her to run while she still can. I’m no good for her. “But I kissed you back,” I point out. “And I s hould not have been... er... touching you out there.” She draws her bottom lip between her teeth. “It’s o kay.” Hell, how do those two tiny words send an arrow of need straight to my cock? It’s okay that I was kiss ing her? Or touching her up? It’s okay that I want her so badly I nearly bent her over my bike to fuck her ? Before I can dwell on it anymore and make an even b igger fool of myself, I get to my feet. “Will you l et me stay?” “I don’t think so. It’s too risky.” A hard knot forms in my throat. I’m more dangerous to her than a crazed gunman it seems. She might be right. If—when—I find that money, her whole life is going to come crashing down. “Don’t answer the door to anyone. Be careful. Call me if you need me. In fact, call me tomorrow.” She follows me to the door. “Please?” I add as uncertai nty dashes across her face. Jess opens the door and I step out. “I’ll call you, ” she says when I turn to face her. “Promise?” She rolls her eyes and her mouth curves. “I promise .” Those lush lips snare my attention and my own smile drops. My skin feels hot and itchy, my pulse urgent. This is insane. I rest an arm against the d oor frame, my feet still firmly planted on the othe r side of the threshold and bring my mouth slowly down on hers. She softens but doesn’t touch me. We’re divided by the invisible line between the corridor and her room. I can’t help thinking of it as symbol ic. We’re divided by secrets and lies. Not that any of that matters once our lips connect. I swear I’ve never wanted to kiss a woman so much. Kisses are about the end game. But not with Jess. I want to drown in her kisses, to kiss her all day a nd see if I ever tire of them. I suspect it’s unlikely .
