Only four weeks until The Hazards of a One Night Stand releases! Here's a teaser! :)
His hand settled
on my hip. “What do you say, pumpkin?”
He leaned in, gently brushing his lips against mine.
“No fair.”
He laughed. “The
fact that you find that persuasive should make the decision easier. You want to
be with me.”
“We can try.”
“Try? I think
we’ve already tried. We work well together.”
I swallowed hard.
“I can’t believe I’m agreeing to this.”
“Why? It’s a
relationship, not something bad.”
“Relationship? I
thought it was more like exclusive friends with benefits.”
“Exclusive friends
with benefits? Where do you come up with this stuff?” He put a hand on either
of my arms. “No. It’s a relationship that we aren’t going to be broadcasting
right away.”
“No. I like my
description better.”
He groaned. “No.
That’s ridiculous. That implies we’re friends who like to hook up. My feelings
for you are not friendly, Mal. They’re not. And it’s not just about sex either.
I care about you.”
“I care about you,
but—”
“No buts. You
decide if your feelings for me go beyond friends and sexual attraction. If they
do, I’m here.”
“And if they
don’t?”
“They do. They
always have.” He didn’t show a hint of doubt.
