Читать книгу Tempted by His Target - Jill Sorenson - Страница 2

Moistening her lips, she brought a trembling hand to her chest.

For a quick, hot second, he thought she might let the towel drop.

He pictured her untwisting the terrycloth and standing naked before him, offering herself.

In the next heartbeat, he’d have her legs around his waist and her back against the wall.

But she didn’t loosen her towel; she clutched it tight.

“I can’t.”

That made two of them.

“Why not?”

Her throat worked as she swallowed.

“It’s complicated.”

His raging hormones disagreed.

They said it was as easy as unbuttoning his trousers and urging her down on his lap.

“I like you—”

“I like you, too.”

Her eyes filled with anguish.

“You don’t even know me.”

“Then let me get to know you,” he said, frustrated.

“Why won’t you tell me what those men want?

What have you done that’s so bad?”

She let her shoulders rest on the wall behind her, staring up at the ceiling.

“They think I killed someone.”

“Did you?”

Her gaze reconnected with his.

“I don’t know.”
