Chapter 12

BRODY SCANNED THE menu, but it might as well have been written in French. The only thing he wanted was sitting beside him, using every excuse to touch him. A hand on his arm. Her thigh brushing up against his as she accidentally slid too far into the booth.

“Do I need to tie you up for dinner?” he murmured.

“Are you planning to feed me? One french fry at a time?” she teased, leaning close, her shoulder touching his.

“I might.” He looked at her over the top of his menu. Her eyes sparkled as her hand moved to his thigh. Brody sucked a deep breath. Here, in the corner booth of the upscale restaurant, she looked like Kat, the supposed ER doctor he’d met in the airport hotel—­daring, welcoming, and intriguing as hell. He realized that she was at home in a room ­peopled with strangers.

Or she was still turned on from the ride over.

His jaw tightened and he set the menu aside. Blindfolding a woman in the parking lot behind the pizza place, and opening the door to the way he wanted her, what the heck was he thinking?

It was the look in her eyes when Delilah talked about Harvard as if the fancy school had handed Kat the keys to the kingdom. But he could connect the dots. The little girl who’d tried to find a family at the Falls Hotel holding her science project as proof she deserved a home, that kid didn’t show up at an Ivy League school and wait for handouts. She’d fought her way to the top alone. She’d struggled, adapted, and changed.

And he was goddamn crazy about the woman she’d become. He’d blindfolded her and stolen her away from his hometown to remind her who she was now—­a beautiful, sexy, smart woman who didn’t need anyone feeling sorry for her.

“Do you feel at home in New York?” he asked after the waiter left with their order.

“Depends on how you define home.”

Kat took a sip of her white wine, drawing his attention to her full lips. On the drive over, he’d stolen glances at her mouth. He’d been tempted to pull over and kiss her. Her lips were like a beacon, calling to his from below the blindfold.

“I feel alive there. And I love the diversity. ­People from all over the world meeting in one place. They all have different stories, but the focus always seems to be on the now,” she said.

“Your friends in New York look at you and see a doctor and the rest falls away.” Logically, he understood, but the thought of cutting ties with the past felt foreign to him.

“Yes.” She smiled. “Have you ever been? To the city?”

He raised an eyebrow. “There’s more than one city.”

“Not when you live in New York.” Her calf brushed his under the table. It was too damn bad she’d traded in her short skirt for a pair of blue jeans.

“No, I’ve never been to the East Coast. My mother caught the travel bug when we were kids.
