Paige hadn’t expected him to kiss her. Sure, she'd hoped he might, even though it wasn't sensible. She'd accepted that they weren't going to act on the attraction they felt for each other.

But the second Max kissed her, she was glad he'd given in to what they both were feeling. When he deepened the kiss, she willingly let him pull her closer. His chest rumbled with a satisfied groan as she met his ardor with her own.

She slipped her arms around his neck, her fingers threading through the hair on the back of his head, sculpting him to her. Rising on her toes, she pressed her body against his. One kiss followed another until they both were both breathless with desire.

“We shouldn't be doing this,” Max murmured as he trailed kisses down her neck. “Like I said before, we shouldn't get involved.”

His words might have had more impact on her if he hadn't said them in a voice rough with passion.

“Maybe you were wrong about that getting involved thing,” she said, leaning up and dropping another kiss on his lips. She took her time kissing him, letting herself savor the sensation. “Hmmm. Yes. You definitely were wrong about that not getting involved thing.”

He leaned away from her, his gaze serious. “No, I was right. Neither of us can get involved in anything long term right now.”

Paige couldn't dispute that. She had no idea if she'd even be in Honey a month from now. Heck, she didn't know if she'd be here a week from now, although she certainly hoped so.

Her gaze landed on his lips and desire tingled through her. She'd never wanted a man the way she wanted Max at this moment. Never felt this alive before.

When Max started to remove his hands from her waist, the sense of loss hit Paige hard. She didn't want this to end.

“Um, I don't suppose you'd consider something short term,” she blurted.

Max froze. “What?”

The more she thought about this, the more she liked the idea. “Who says this has to be long term? We can have something short term. What's wrong with that?”

She was hoping Max would like the idea as much as she did, but instead, he frowned. “Paige, I don't think that's a good idea.”

She sensed he was trying to be noble. He probably thought she'd get hurt because she'd end up falling for him. But that wouldn't happen because she wouldn't fall in love with anyone at the moment. Not until everything with Adam was settled.

But Max didn't know that, so she tried to explain the best she could. “I'm sorry I can't get involved right now, but I do think we could have some fun. If we both agree that's all it is, I don't see what harm there is.”

Max took a step back from her. She was glad to see that rather than frowning, he now looked uncertain. Uncertain was good. It meant he was starting to change his mind.

“I don't know,” he said, but his gaze was on her lips, and she could see the fire of desire burning hot in his eyes.
