Оглавление“I’d like to ask you out.”
Penelope’s throat dried. She couldn’t feel her fingers and had to lock her knees to remain upright. Date? Leo? Absurd. They were too different.
And she was afraid she wasn’t nearly enough.
She leaned her hip heavily against the desk. “I don’t think—”
“Or we could start slow. Have lunch. Or even just coffee.” His voice dropped to a husky, sexy tone that could strip a woman of her inhibitions. And her good sense. “It doesn’t matter to me. Just a few hours. I’d like to get to know you better.”
“Why?”
The word hung in the air, bald and loud and yes, desperate-sounding. Too bad. She wouldn’t take it back even if she could. She was too curious to hear his answer.
“Because I find you interesting.” Leo stepped forward, his body and her own pride trapping her between him and her desk. “Because I’m attracted to you.”
A thrill raced through her before she could stop it. He was attracted to her? That…that was impossible. Implausible. Incredible.
And terrifying.
