Chapter Sixteen

Davina

What had I been thinking kissing him? I should have gone into her bedroom, but no—I had to attack the man like I was desperate. And what had I said? I’ll take you? I smacked my forehead after letting myself into my apartment.

Yeah, I’ll take him, and I’ll end up with a broken heart. I am not going to let that happen. I was going to have to make sure he understood that it hadn’t meant anything.

I climbed into the truck and immediately turned to him. “About that kiss—”

His brows rose, and he waited. My focus landed on his mouth, and the words I’d been about to speak vanished from my mind.

“Yes? What about it?”

The next words rushed out of my mouth. “It didn’t mean anything.”

He shocked me when he shrugged. “Yeah, I know. I was just trying to distract you.”

“That’s the only reason you kissed me?”

He glanced my way as he put his truck into reverse. “Let’s reword that, shall we? I gave you the option of opening the door or kissing me. It was your choice to kiss me.”

My jaw dropped, and for a second, I was speechless. Trevor pulled out of the parking space and began to drive. His hand reached over and pushed my chin up. “You are going to drool on my upholstery.”

I smacked his hand away. “You think I kissed you because I wanted to?”

“Hey, if the shoe fits, wear it.”

“Trevor Vaughn, I kissed you because, at that moment, it was a better option than opening the door. I would have kissed a frog if that had been the offer.”

He chuckled. “Okay, Davina Daniels, if that’s what you want to tell yourself.”

I crossed my arms over my chest and glared out the side window. How dare he say that to me! Strangely enough, I think I was more upset about the fact that he seemed to know me slightly better than I knew myself. Damn him! I had wanted to kiss him.

From the moment he had shown up at the door, it was practically all I could think about. While we’d eaten, I’d kept looking at his mouth as it moved, and the longer we sat there, the tenser I became. I’d begun to relax when he’d held me, and I treasured being in his arms. The way he held me was like nothing I had ever experienced before. The soft kisses to my brow made my knees weak.

It was just better to forget it and move on. “Yeah, well, it won’t happen again. I learned my lesson. From now on, I’ll jump into the snake pit before I kiss you.”

He chuckled but didn’t say anything. So I could ignore him more, I retrieved the book from the floor and started at the beginning. There was a page for each of her years from birth through her early years of high school. Then there were pictures of the two of us, and I sucked in a sharp breath.

“You okay?” Trevor asked quickly.

“Yeah, just
