“I DON’T THINK that’s a good idea,” he said, his voice a low rumble. He knew he should scoot away from her, gain enough distance that he could breathe without smelling the clean, delicious scent of her.

“I think it’s a wonderful idea,” she replied and snuggled closer to him.

She had no idea what she was doing to him, couldn’t know that every nerve ending he possessed was electrified by her closeness.

He’d been electrified since the moment he’d stepped into the bathroom and caught sight of her in the tub. Although most of her had been covered in bubbles, he couldn’t help but notice the silkiness of her bare shoulders, the erotic length of her neck with her hair splayed back from her face.

He’d wanted nothing more than to strip naked and climb into that steaming water with her. As he’d thought about how close that car had come to hitting her, how quickly she could have been killed, he’d wanted to wrap her up in his arms and feel the steady beat of her heart against his own, assure himself that she was really alive and okay.

But there was no way he could be in a bed next to her and just want to hear her heartbeat. He’d want more. So very much more.

Even at this moment he was wondering what she was wearing beneath the short pink terry cloth robe. Did she have on a silky little nightgown or was she naked?

“I need a snuggle buddy,” she replied, her breath warm against the underside of his jaw.

“I’m not good at snuggling,” he replied, his throat feeling as if it were closing up.

“Oh, I think you underestimate yourself,” she replied.

Her hair smelled like citrus shampoo, and he wanted to bury his fingers in it, feel those golden strands slide through his fingertips. He wanted to caress her skin and see if it was as soft as he suspected.

“Brianna, I can’t sleep with you. I mean, I’m not sure I can be in a bed next to you and remain a gentleman.” It was a hard thing for him to confess, that he was weak where she was concerned.

Once again she raised her face up to look at him. Her blue eyes shimmered with just enough impishness to heat his blood. “Troy, I’m desperately hoping you won’t be a gentleman.”

He was lost. He was unaware that he was going to kiss her until their lips met and his hands slid up into her silky hair.

As with the first time he kissed her, he was stunned by the heat her mouth offered his and his swift reaction to it. He made an attempt to pull back, to stop from making what he knew would be a mistake, but she wound her arms more tightly around his neck and slid her tongue into his mouth.

She was temptation itself, and he was weak where she was concerned. Her body was warm and sweet-smelling, and her lips plied his with a heat that enflamed him.
