Chapter Six

Liam stirred first and I looked up. Without warning, he put his hands on either side of my face, hauled me in, and put a lip-lock on me that took my breath away. Too shocked to participate, I went tense.

He backed off quickly. “Sorry.”

Again with that fucking word. Trying to figure out his motive was starting to annoy me. He must know that sorry is not in my vocabulary and now he’s trying to make me feel guilty as a way to manipulate me. It won’t work. I’m apology challenged. Growing up, my father never apologized for anything, but he forced me to apologize for everything. I’m sorry I was late for dinner. I’m sorry I only got a B in math. I’m sorry I like boys instead of girls. Saying the S word always took me back to my unbearable past. I couldn’t do it.

I frowned. “You say sorry a lot.”

“I don’t mind admitting when I’m wrong.”

My frown deepened. “I don’t get it. You apologized for hitting me in the elevator, but you weren’t wrong. I mouthed off, I deserved it.”

“You didn’t deserve it and I didn’t want to hit you. I had to.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I did it for the cameras.”

I started laughing. “ I get it. You were auditioning for a better position. Top sadist?”

“I did it for you.”

I stopped laughing. “Thanks. I needed someone to knock some sense into my head. I have this little bump on my nose. Maybe next time, you can break it and straighten it out for me.”

“I’m hoping there won’t be a next time, but if there is, I’ll try not to break anything.” He paused. “Don’t look at me like that. If I’m not hard on you, they’ll get somebody else, somebody who won’t mind beating the crap out of you.”

My confusion grew. He sounded like he meant it. Is it possible he really gives a shit? “Okay, I’ll bite. What are you sorry for this time?”

He got a sheepish look on his face. “I know you guys don’t like to kiss, you only do it for the camera. But I couldn’t help—”

I framed his face with my hands and planted a big one on him. His lips were soft. I sucked on the lower one and then gave it a little nip. He pressed his tongue against my lips, and I opened wide to let it slide into my mouth. I captured it and started sucking. Our kiss deepened and took on a life of its own. I liked it. I liked it a lot. Who knew? Evidently, I’d never kissed a man before who actually knew how to kiss.

When Liam came up for air, I lunged in for more. This might be our first and last kiss. I needed to make a memory. Our tongues tangled for a few moments, and then I had to stop for a breath. I stared at Liam’s face. I wanted to know if he liked this as much as I did, but I couldn’t read his expression.
