Eager to get my new life started, I nearly told Blade to forget about the shower. But the thought of saying goodbye to him, so soon, filled me with an unexpected emptiness that made zero sense. He was a stranger, one who’d gone above and beyond to help and protect me. That alone intrigued me, but it wasn’t the only reason I wanted to spend more time with him.
I was enthralled with Blade.
I couldn’t take my eyes off him.
He aroused me in ways I’d never felt before.
Yes, he was sexy as hell. But I’d met other men, equally sexy, none of which did a damn thing for me. Why did Blade? What was it about him that flipped all my switches…made me ache to feel his hot, naked body pressed against my flesh, and his hard cock drive deep inside me?
I didn’t know, but I didn’t want to leave until I had some answers.
“I appreciate everything you’ve done, and are still doing for me. You don’t have to, you know?”
“I know,” Blade murmured, gently lifting the gauze from my knee.
“Why are you then?”
He paused and peered up at me. “Why wouldn’t I?”
“I-I don’t know. I mean, I really don’t know anything about you.”
“I don’t know anything about you either…not really.”
The knowing tone in his voice made me tense. I quickly tamped down my guilt by reminding myself there was no way he could know who I was.
“We should change that, then.” I forced a smile. “Tell me about you.”
“I already did.” He smirked. “Why don’t you tell me aboutyou.”
My stomach flipped.
Shit! This isn’t the way it’s supposed to go.
I had to give the man props; he’d turned the conversation on me without batting an eye.
He wants to know more about me? Fine, I’ll tell him what he needs to know.
“Okay. Let’s see…my favorite color is peach. My favorite ice cream is pistachio. Favorite food…it’s a tie between Chinese and Mexican. My favorite season is spring. And my favorite band is Licks of Leather. I don’t like anchovies, bell peppers, rude, obnoxious people, spiders, snakes, or snow.”
“Yeah, the blizzards here in Richardson are brutal…or so I’ve been told.” His eyes flared as he pinned me with a goading stare.
Dammit.I’d hoped he’d forgotten about mysnowpocalypticfaux pas, but clearly, he hadn’t.
Time to lie my way out of this one.
“I’ve been in a blizzard before.”
“Really? Where?”
“I was visiting Maine during a Nor’easter.”
“Mmm.” He grunted skeptically.
“Fine, don’t believe me. I don’t care,” I scoffed, lifting my chin.
“You never got spanked as a child, did you?”
“What?”
