Chapter Seven

Save Me from Myself

Daniela closed her apartment door behind her and bent at the waist, reaching for one heel. She’d just come back from her dinner with Taylor. There promised to be at least a few more dates with him in the near future.

She jumped when the door directly behind her vibrated with the simple force of Keegan’s knock. She straightened with one heel in her hand and smiled to herself. It was only the second time he’d knocked on her door, but he had a distinctive pattern.

Daniela threw the door open and smiled up at the man standing in her doorway.

“Checking in on me?”

He peered at her curiously for a moment before shaking his head. “It’s my job, isn’t it?” he said before giving her a soft smile that did dangerous things to her libido.

“So, how did it go?”

She bent low, took off her remaining heel, turned and walked to her kitchen. She could hear the soft steps of Keegan’s leather loafers. She couldn’t help wondering if he too had just come from a date.

Unbelievably, she found herself hoping he’d just come from the office, despite the fact that it was Saturday night. Something about the thought of Keegan dating made her uncomfortable.

“It went well.” She grabbed a bottle of wine from her fridge. “Taylor was, of course, a gentleman.” She reached up for the wine glasses. Keegan was immediately there. He grabbed two glasses.

“So you two clicked.”

The Firm: Charmer

She could feel his words as his breath whispered over the back of her neck. “As you knew we would.” Daniela turned slowly, but Keegan didn’t take a step back. She found herself caged between him and the kitchen counter.

“I’m… glad.”

She lifted her gaze and looked into his eyes. The emotion shining there, in the endless depth of his bright eyes, told her Keegan was anything but glad. That fact gave her a little too much pleasure. She didn’t want him, so why did she care that he was jealous?

“So when’s your next date?” he murmured as he lowered his head.

Daniela watched the slow descent of his head, her eyes glued to the full contours of his lush mouth. After an eternity his lips brushed against hers. It was the slightest of touches, but it was devastating nonetheless. Daniela slowly opened her eyes to find him watching her with cautious eyes.

“What are we doing, Daniela?”

Her heart rate raced at the emotion she could feel simmering just beneath the surface of his words. She chewed her lip for a moment, trying to decide what was best to say. Best to do. She decided on the truth. Neither of them could handle anything more. “Enjoying one another’s company.”

He sighed and moved his hips against hers. “For however long that lasts, right?”

She gave him a shallow smile. “Right.”

“Good to know,” he said with a smile before kissing her hard. As Daniela sank under the power of Keegan’s talented tongue she tried to pretend that she hadn’t felt the tiniest bit of disappointment when he admitted that they were just friends with benefits.
