Chapter 8

Darcy’s entire body froze as his mouth opened over hers. Her brain was sending frantic signals to her arms and legs. To move. To pull back.

To kick him in the balls.

But she was in some kind of shock, her body temporarily powered down as it grappled with this development. His tongue lapping at the seam of her stiff, unyielding lips was the cattle prod to her butt she needed. Finally the signals got through and she jerked her head back, gaping at Tony as his hand fell to his side.

‘What the hell?’ she demanded. Her pulse accelerated—and not in pleasure or anticipation but in fright and flight. Flickers of anger had replaced her momentary impotence.

He smiled at her again, clearly not reading her signals very well. ‘I missed you, Darce.’

‘Yeah well. I didn’t miss you.’

He smiled at her in that boyish way that had always wormed its way past her defences. ‘Not even a little?’

‘Nope.’

‘We were great together.’

She blinked. What the actual fuck? ‘Was. Were.’ Until you blew it. ‘It’s over and done with, Tony. Not going there again. I thought I’d made myself very clear about this from the beginning.’

‘Oh come on, can you really stand there and tell me you have absolutely no residual feelings for me whatsoever?’

A slightly hysterical laugh escaped her mouth. Was he serious? ‘Yeah. I can. Hand on my heart, I can tell you that I feel absolutely nothing for you other than respect for you as a coach. And, I thought, as a friend. That’s it.’

He frowned then, the back-off-buddy message finally breaking through. He cocked an eyebrow. ‘Is this about Levi?’

Still stunned from the kiss, Darcy couldn’t even wrap her head around his question. ‘Levi?’ Where the fuck is he going with this?

He snorted derisively. ‘You know Levi’s in love with you, right?’

Darcy’s heart skipped a beat as she gaped at him. ‘Don’t be ridiculous.’ Her brain was going to explode if it had to deal with one more piece of astonishing data.

Tony nodded. ‘Utterly, hopelessly, completely.’

God, she’d never heard anything more preposterous in her life. How typical of Tony that he’d try to drop someone else in the shit while being called on his own. It was all too, too much to take in.

‘Levi and I are friends, Tony. That’s it.’

‘Trust me, Darce.’ He folded his arms, his mouth a grim line. ‘Guys know this stuff about other guys. He’s had a hard-on for you for a long time.’

Unbidden, that night in Melbourne came back to her. The night of her injury. She been telling herself she’d imagined the hard press of an erection in the centre of her back when he’d tried to slip out of bed without waking her up. She’d convinced herself it had just been some waking fancy, a part of some sexy dream she’d been having.

But maybe it’d been real?

She frowned. No way, that was plain crazy. Levi had never tried anything. Never hinted at anything. Never tried to kiss her or hold or hand or do anything other than just be there for her.
