Chapter 8

Nina glared at the phone. She wasn’t going to answer it. She knew exactly who was calling her without even looking at the phone number.

It kept ringing.

No, she told herself firmly and stood up, pacing back and forth behind her desk. Not going to happen, Brock.

The phone stopped and she breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting down at her desk once again, she lifted her hands and realized that they were shaking.

Just because Brock had called her?

Good grief! He didn’t even need to be near her and her body started reacting. How ridiculous is that? Darn him! And darn her stupid body that…No! She didn’t want him! She’d been there, checked the box and moved on. No! She wasn’t going to make that mistake again! It was dangerous the first time, no way was she going to risk her heart again.

And then the phone started ringing again. Snapping it up, she pressed the button, “I’m not talking to you,” she snapped into the phone.

“I’m almost to your apartment, Nina. Be ready to leave in,” a pause for a moment, “three minutes.”

She hesitated for only a moment before her common sense returned. “No. I’m not going anywhere with you.”

His arrogant response was just to laugh softly at her rejection. “Two and a half minutes, Nina. Get your shoes on. Or don’t. Either way, you’ll look perfect.”

She ignored the warm glow his compliment gave her. “Nope. I’ll be gone by the time you get here. I’ve already told you, I’m not going anywhere with you.”

“Those are just words, gorgeous,” he came back. “We both know that you want to come with me. You have no idea what’s going to happen, but there’s something between us that neither of us understand but we can’t ignore either.”

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. “Brock, we can’t do this. Not again.”

“Just pull on a pair of sneakers or even slippers, whatever you’re comfortable in. And I’ll be there in ninety seconds, love.”

She opened her mouth to argue with him, to tell him that she wasn’t going to be here when he arrived but he’d already hung up. She glared at her phone with irritation, but then realized that she was wasting time. Looking at her leggings and sweatshirt that didn’t even cover her butt, she raced through her apartment, pulling on a pair of sneakers without even bothering with socks. She looked in her mirror and almost gasped with how pale she looked. For a few precious moments, she considered putting on a bit of makeup, but then pushed that thought out of her mind and rushed out of her bedroom. She’d just grabbed her purse and car keys when the knock sounded on her door. She stared at it for several moments, her heart racing wildly.

“Open the door, Nina,” Brock’s deep, husky voice called to her through the door.

Nina shook her head, clutching her purse to her chest as terror over seeing Brock again washed over her.

“Just open the door, love. It will be okay.
