Chapter 22

Point your arrows somewhere else.

My steps immediately slowed once I spotted Fate leaning beside my condo door. I could still leave as he hadn’t…

Nope, he had seen me.

Whatever he was here for, it was probably something I wasn’t going to like. I wasn’t in the mood but that wouldn’t faze him.

My keys jingled as I yanked them out of my purse and slid one into the lock. He followed me in.

He didn’t say anything. No hello, or how are things. He toyed with the manual I was working with and then moved on, taking in the rest of the place. He was looking for clues, and I was letting him. Unfortunately for both of us, he wouldn’t find anything, and I was too scared to leave him any more unless I got desperate again.

I kicked off my shoes and walked into the kitchen, noticing the container on the counter. At least he’d brought iced tea with him. Good thing, because I was out.

He followed me into the kitchen as I took a glass out of the cabinet and offered him one. I sort of had to, since he had brought it. He nodded.

He took his tea and chugged most of it down in one gulp. He nodded toward me. I’d never had such a tense glass of iced tea in my life.

“What’s with the outfit?”

I smoothed the dress down, tugging on the hem. “It’s Luck’s. Santa’s elf led me out through their kitchen and there was a mishap with the flour.”

“It looks good on you.” His eyes slowly moved up my legs.

I drank the iced tea in my glass so as not to have to respond.

He needed to stop staring at me like he was ready to eat me. What the hell was wrong with him, today? He was too smart to get caught by Cupid, but he was acting awfully interested. The worst part about that was the more interested he looked, the more my body seemed to respond. Forget him, what the hell was wrong with me?

My breathing became more erratic. I tugged my hair loose of its ponytail and pulled it over my shoulders, trying to hide just how excited certain parts of my body were becoming. It backfired because he took it as a different type of sign and closed the gap between us.

One hand reached and threaded through my hair as I tilted my face upward. I felt his other palm land on my hip but it didn’t stay there long. Slowly, it slid down and then wrapped around until it cupped my ass and pulled me upward into contact with his hips, where I could feel just how much he wanted me.

His eyes never left my face, surely seeing how every point of contact affected me. There was something so intensely sensual as he watched, waiting for me to acknowledge the need between us.

He looked at me as if I were the only thing that existed. It was frightening in its intensity, and yet I couldn’t move away.
