CHAPTER FOURTEEN

HE EXPECTED HER to pull back. He was pleasantly surprised when she didn’t. He lifted his hands to her chin, suddenly dying to know what she tasted like.

Vanilla. And mint, he added. She tasted clean and sweet and it was all he could do not to pull her into his lap.

“No,” she said, moving her head to the right.

“Yes,” he said, gently using a palm to turn her back toward him.

“Todd, I—”

He cut her words off with a second kiss, only this time he didn’t hold anything back. When all she did was moan, he grew bolder. He cupped the back of her head, took another tentative taste, then another and another. He leaned her back, lifted a hand to her side. The blouse she wore, that damn clingy blouse that had been so sheer he could practically see right through it, afforded little more than a gauzy barrier between his fingers and her flesh.

“Todd,” she gasped, turning her head when his fingers grazed the sensitive skin.

“I’ve been wanting to do that since the night you ruined your dress.”

“My dress,” she murmured, her head falling to the right when he lightly nibbled her neck. “The night you first kissed me.”

“Yes,” he whispered, moving up, nibbling her ears.

“That night the blonde showed up at your motor coach.”

His mouth froze.

“The night I realized I was one of a bevy of girls you’d kissed.”

He drew back. “Indi—”

“No, no,” she said. “It’s true.”

“No, it’s not.”

“No?” she asked.

Okay, maybe it was. But that was all in the past. He’d been rebounding from Kristen when he’d met that woman.

And the others.

“Honestly, Indi, I had no idea that that woman would show up that night.”

“I’m sure you didn’t,” she said, her hazel eyes full of disappointment. In him? Or herself? “And that makes it all the worse.”

“Worse how?” he asked, his blood pounding.

“How many women has it been this past year?”

“I don’t know,” he said. “Does it matter?”

“Yes,” she said.

“Why? That was before you.”

“It just does,” she said, straightening her hair when she realized he’d messed it up. Next she tugged down her shirt and smoothed her pants. She even reached for that damn briefcase again.

“Let’s go over the contract.”

He didn’t want to go over a damn thing. “Indi—”

“No, Todd. Please. I don’t want to talk about it. Where you and I are concerned, it’s nothing but business from here on out.” It had to be that way.

She released the catches on her briefcase. Inside was a laptop and several documents. “If you don’t want to look at the contract, we can look at the mock-up ad that’s on my laptop.”

“Whatever,” he said, sliding away from her and accidentally kicking Lex in the rear. The dog lifted his head, his eyes darting between the two humans as if he could sense the tension between them. Maybe he could.

What the heck was with her? “Here’s your copy of the contract. You might want to read it on the way to the hospital,” Indi said.

He took the sheaf of papers from her, but he didn’t look at it.
