EXCERPT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Completely out of my depth with this guy, I picked up one of the pillows from his bed and hugged it to my chest, trying to muffle the impact he was having on me. But his smell rippled up from the fabric, and my body went into a state of hypersensitivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo\u2026\u201d I said, drawing in a deep breath and trying to sound casual, even though every part of me was trembling with arousal.<\/p>\n

Damien left the doorway to take a single, cautious step in my direction. \u201cDid I pass inspection?\u201d<\/p>\n

I shrugged, still trying to play it cool. \u201cFor the time being.\u201d Then, I took a step forward as well, holding my breath the entire time in anticipation.<\/p>\n

Shaking his head, he eased closer. \u201cI still can\u2019t believe you\u2019re standing in my room right now.\u201d
\nTaking my turn, I shifted an inch toward him. \u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d His whiskey eyes searched mine as if reading all my secret desires. \u201cI kind of thought I may never see you again.\u201d<\/p>\n

I paused and tipped my head curiously. \u201cBut you\u2019re my landlord.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lifting one shoulder, he narrowed the gap until there was only about two feet separating us. \u201cI\u2019ve had lots of tenants that I only met once and never saw again. And I didn\u2019t want you to be one of those. I picked up my phone half a dozen times to text, but I didn\u2019t know if it was okay to do that after\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

When he lifted his eyebrows in question, silently asking if it would\u2019ve been okay, I merely sent him a mysterious smile. \u201cWhat would you have said if you\u2019d texted?\u201d<\/p>\n

His lips twitched, finding amusement. \u201cProbably only that I wanted to see you again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catching my breath, I squeezed the pillow against me tighter. \u201cSay it now,\u201d I commanded.<\/p>\n

Damien\u2019s eyes turned predatory. Moving in until only the pillow separated us, he whispered, \u201cI want to see you again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay,\u201d I whispered back.<\/p>\n
