Close your eyes Quote by Tracy Sumner
““Are you willing?" Through the shadows, he found her gleaming eyes, her slightly curved mouth. "No, it's too reckless. Too irresponsible." "You're sounding like a father. Or a constable, Constable." "I'm both, Miss Connor." He watched her lips tilt and flow into a glorious smile. "Rory's in bed, safe and sound. Most of the town is in bed, safe and sound. And you're here, with a pragmatic woman who can take care of herself. Two adults and one magnificent challenge." "More like a dare," he said and drained his glass. She took a step closer, until her skirt brushed his knee. "Call it a dare if you like." "No." His resolve slipped a notch when she crouched before him, the pleasing angles of her face flooding into view. She was much, much too tempting. "I'll do it all. You don't have to participate. That should be enough to prove my case." "I wasn't serious when I said that. I'm sure you're not, hell, frigid." She leaned in, her hands sliding along the arms of the chair, her face fading out of view as it closed in on his. A scent, provocative and earthy, stole in with his stuttered breath. "You see, Constable, I'm always serious." He watched her moisten her lips, so near he could almost taste her. "Close your eyes. I've heard that's the way it's done.””
