CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

RAY BELIEVED ONE of the reasons he was so drawn to Ashley was her honesty. Although he didn’t know her that well, there was something about her that made him feel she was a person he could trust. The only reason he hadn’t told her about his memory loss was because it was something he wasn’t ready to share with others yet. He’d finally gotten around to telling Bryce, whom he considered a good friend, a few weeks ago.

Perceptive as ever, Bryce claimed she had picked up on vibes between him and Ashley that day at the café when she and Ashley had been having lunch together. He didn’t deny he was attracted to Ashley but shared the reason why that attraction couldn’t go any further.

But even now, he would love for his hands to curl around Ashley instead of this beer bottle. She had every right to question him about his claim that friendship was all he wanted. He, of all people, knew better. The bottom line was that he had enjoyed kissing her, way too much. He had even gotten a masculine high when she’d climaxed in his arms from their kiss.

He finished off the last of his beer. Liquid courage, so to speak. But even that, he figured, wouldn’t help much. Not when she was sitting there just a few feet from him looking more sexy and beautiful than any woman had a right to look. Her hair hung loose around her shoulders and her bangs nearly covered her eyes. Nearly but not completely. He could see the inquisitiveness in their dark depths. She was waiting on an answer.

“I don’t plan on it happening again, Ashley,” he finally said.

He could tell by the look on her face that his response surprised her. “Really? Is it anything we can stop?”

Every muscle in his body seemed to tighten with her question. “We can certainly try.”

He tilted his head and studied her features and knew exactly what she was thinking. Good luck on that happening. Their gazes locked and he immediately felt it. That hot, irresistible attraction that had been there from the first. He knew her skepticism but would prove it could be done. He had to.

He watched as she slid her hair away from her eyes, as if to make sure she was seeing him and he was seeing her. He could feel the tension thrumming between them and knew even now those vibes Bryce had talked about were out in full force.

She straightened up in her seat. “Even with all our issues, Ray, I’m not sure we can just be friends. We like kissing each other. A lot. So I truly don’t understand how that would be possible.”

He leaned forward in his chair. “Because I would make it possible, Ashley. For starters, we could limit the time we spend together. I could call and check up on you if I had your phone number instead of stopping by.” He wasn’t sure why he’d said that when he would still want to stop by and see her.
