I’m glad you’re coming on the road trip.” Matt took a step…
““I’m glad you’re coming on the road trip.” Matt took a step back, putting space between them. “Why?” He searched her face, his gaze lingering briefly on her lips. “Because now I don’t have to wait two weeks to kiss you again.” His words, along with the raw heat in his eyes, ignited a sudden, fierce longing inside of her that almost knocked her off of her feet. Stunned by its onslaught, she pressed her palms to the car for support and took a deep breath to regain her equilibrium. “You’re presuming I want you to kiss me again,” she said in her haughtiest tone. A smile teased the corner of his mouth. “I think you want me to do a lot more than that.” “You’re wrong.” Actually, he was right, but there was no way in hell she was going to admit that to him. No way in hell. “Am I?” Matt fished his keys from his front pocket and flashed a cocky grin. “I guess we’ll find out.””
