Chapter Eleven

Tucker

HE’D NEVER MET ANYONE LIKE Ashlee before. She had a way of spinning his world out of control, and control was what he thrived on. The whole ordeal was beyond frustrating, yet there was no way he could walk away from her. He’d laid his feelings on the table for her, kissed her with passion to show her his need, and she sat over there in silence, doing her best to ignore everything he just did. It infuriated and intrigued him all at once. She responded to that kiss, he was sure of that. She was aroused by his touch, her scent indicated as much. Only, when she had the opportunity to discuss the situation, she remained quiet, lost in her own world, miles away from him.

Underneath the mystery, it stung a little. Most women threw themselves at him. They gave chase, he would allow them to catch, they would get lost in the pleasure, and he’d release them. He was never interested in more than a few rolls in the sack, but with Ashlee, there was something different. He was connected to her, wanted to protect her, needed to possess her. Maybe when all the excitement was over he’d be able to walk away. He doubted it, but he’d heard somewhere that relationships forged in intensity were short lived. If that was the case here, maybe he’d get out of this mess with his sanity intact. If it wasn’t, he didn’t know what he’d do.

He parked the car across the street from the coffee house and stopped Ashlee from getting out the moment the engine was off. “We wait. I want to see who shows up first.” His hand on her arm caused a spark between them. He really enjoyed it when their skin touched, and kept his fingers on her longer than necessary.

“You’re wrong about Callie,” she insisted.

“I hope so, for your sake,” he released his grasp, “but in this matter, please humor me.”

She nodded and slouched into her seat.

“Are we going to discuss what we talked about earlier?” Tucker finally asked after a long uncomfortable silence.

“I don’t know what to say,” she admitted, but her skin turned a darker shade of red. He liked that he could get under her skin as much as she got under his. It evened the playing field a little bit.

“How about we start with the kiss?” He grinned.

“It was a kiss.” Ashlee looked out the window, avoiding his eyes.

“And did it make you feel anything?” He probed.

She was silent for a while, hands wringing in her lap, face looking in the opposite direction. The woman was good with using silence to her advantage. It was a trick he’d used many times in negotiations before. Was that what this was, a negotiation?

“Yes.”

His heart leapt at her single word response.

“To be honest, I don’t know what I feel.” She looked at him, her eyes moist from the confusion written all over her face. “Your world frightens me.”

He turned and touched her face, a gentle caress.
