Mark bounded to his feet, startling her into a few tripping steps backward—but still graceful somehow, ever graceful. “Listen, wild thing,” he growled, and her eyes widened, “this has nothing to do with Carter.” Another step, and she was up against the arm of the couch, one hand lightly touching the wall. He’d cornered her, never smart—

But Mark was done with smart.

“Yes,” he told her. “That’s what he wants. But only because he sees…he thinks…Tayla, it’s about us. He said I’ve been blind, and he’s right. All this time, I never let myself…I mean, God, you were glorious. Didn’t you ever know? I was just a guy who couldn’t find his lion, and you…you were everything….”

She narrowed her eyes at him. The knuckles of her hand were white against the wall. “Right,” she said. “And didn’t you hide it well.”

“I wasn’t the only one!” he said with a sudden explosive intensity.

She laughed, and it had that bitter sound—if it weren’t for those white knuckles, he’d never have guessed from her voice, her expression, even her posture, that she’d been pressed back against the side of the couch. Her tall and leggy form, her speed and lithe strength…no match for the lion behind him. She knew it; she had to know it. She never blinked. “Nice,” she told him. “I’d hate to see what you bring for flowers. Thorns and poison ivy, maybe?”

God, she was quick. And Mark couldn’t get his act together, couldn’t think. Couldn’t get past the memory of her lips and her body and her responsiveness, not to do anything but take her arms and give her a wordless, frustrated little shake.
