Chapter Seven

Grace sat at her desk and looked over the messages in her inbox. Too bad she couldn’t focus on anything in front of her, compliments of a sleepless night. Cripes, Nate’s kisses were definitely playing havoc with her hormones and her ability to get a good night’s rest. She was either going to have to put a stop to them or make him finish what he started once and for all.

For a moment, she wondered if there really was more going on with him, if his kisses had more to do with wanting her than they did with helping her. As she considered that possibility, she opened the website for her favorite lingerie shop, considering what she’d wear if she ever found herself in bed with Nate. But as she looked at the models—the tall, lithe kind of girls he gravitated toward—reality hit like a cold snowball and smacked some sense back in to her.

“Hey sunshine,” Nate said as he poked his head around the orange partition. “Audrey beckons.”

“Yeah, I know. I’m coming.” She quickly shut down the website and swiveled in her chair.

“Everything okay?” She looked at him and thought she caught a hint of a grin before he wiped it away. “You look a little flushed,” he said and stepped farther into her pod, his mere presence overwhelming the small space—and her.

She eyed him, taking in the gleam in his eyes. Was he messing with her? Did he kiss her and leave her wanting more on purpose? Did she dare ask?

“I’m fine,” she answered, chickening out, too afraid to cause tension between them if this really was only about helping her. Trying for casual, she pushed from her chair and smoothed her hand over her pencil skirt.

“Are you sure?” He shrugged and drove his hands into his pockets. “You just seem a little…out of sorts.”

She gestured with a quick nod to her computer. “Working on my strip.”

His glance went from her to her computer, then back to her again. He came closer, close enough that she caught his familiar scent. She squeezed her thighs together.

“So you’re telling me you figured it out?” he asked, his voice a bit deeper than moments ago. “Your Kate knows how to spot love when she sees it?”

“Not quite.” She was about to push past him, but he moved with her, blocking her path before she could reach the hall, and when a warm shiver moved through her, she hoped he hadn’t noticed. She jabbed him in the stomach. “Move it, or we’ll be late.”

“Gracie?” he said as he dipped his head, his mouth so damn close to hers she thought he was going to kiss her again.

“Yeah?” she asked, suddenly breathless, as her hand itched to go back to his stomach, to explore his hardness.

“Will you be my Valentine?”

“Your…Valentine?” She blinked twice and expected to find him smirking, but instead, he was staring at her without a hint of teasing on his face. “You want me to be your Valentine?” she asked again.
