Boyd was so fixated on the battle to keep his hands off her, it took a few seconds for his brain to process her words. “Wait, what? You didn’t jump me.”

“Yes, I did.” She put a hand over her mouth. “Omigod, I so totally did. You were feeling discouraged and I took advantage of that. All you wanted was comfort and I—”

He wanted more than ever to draw her into his arms. “Hayden, what just happened had very little to do with comfort. And nothing to do with you taking advantage of me.”

“But—”

“But nothing. That was me doing what I’ve been wanting to do since the first moment I saw you at the hospital.”

“What if I said I changed my mind?”

“Changed your mind?” His heart leapt. As did another part of his anatomy. But holy shit, how can this be happening? He’d specifically told her about Josh being in love with her, thinking that would somehow kill this attraction. “I’d say you’re smarter than that.”

“I’ll ignore that insult, mainly because I haven’t been very smart. Not smart at all. You’ve been right in front of me, and the attraction has been there, but I haven’t done anything about it. The whole keeping my distance from romantic or physical entanglements—it’s become such a habit. It really didn’t occur to me that you’re the perfect candidate.”

Perfect candidate? She couldn’t be serious. Could she?

“Oh, Hayden, no. I am so not a good bet.”

She lifted an eyebrow. “Can I count on you to leave when the investigation is done? Go back home to your life?”

“Well yes, but—”

“Then you actually are a very good bet. Because that’s just what I need.”

Dear God. Had he heard that right? The hottest, most gorgeous woman he’d met in years had just propositioned him, offering a no-strings sexual relationship with a wide-open exit clause. But she was also the nicest, most amazing woman he’d ever met. And oh God, she’d been Josh’s love. How was he supposed to reconcile that?

How could he start an affair with the woman Josh wanted to marry?

Because you want her.

“Boyd? Aren’t you going to say anything?”

No. No, he wasn’t going to say anything. He was done thinking too.

He reached out and hauled her to him. She made a little squeak of alarm when she collided with his chest, but he swallowed it, crushing those soft, cushiony lips beneath his in a kiss of pure, searing demand. She opened her mouth to him immediately. His tongue swept in, claiming her. And Christ, she tasted good. Heady and female and fucking fantastic. Her arms snaked up around his neck, and she clung to him. Which gave him perfect access to her back, the curve of her hips, her firm, luscious ass.

Yeah, he was toast. No way in this life or the next was he about to say no to Hayden.

Because they both needed to breathe, he pulled back and looked down at her. Her face was flushed, her eyes unfocused, pupils dilated.

“That, sweetheart, is getting jumped.”
