“Nope.It sure isn’t.You ended up with me.”
Heat creeps into my cheeks.
“I did.”
He studies me for a long moment, and I think we’re going to kiss—but then he surprises me with a question.
“So, tell me about yourself.”
Interesting pivot, sir.
Still, I hesitate.I mean, I’m a lot and I don’t know how much to tell him.But for some reason, I don’t want to hide or lie.I want him to know me.
And that’s also new.
I shouldn’t feel so comfortable with him.
He’s a stranger.
But there’s something about this man that makes me want to throw caution to the wind.
Maybe I will for tonight.
Just maybe.

My stomach flips.
“That'sa lot.”
He grins indulgently.
“I've got time.”
I look at him suspiciously.
“Are you always this intense?”
“Just with you, Honey.”
He smiles and I get shivers racing down my spine.
God, he’s so handsome.
“But I've been called worse things.”
I laugh.
“Fair.Well, I don’t know where to start.Oh!I’m new to town.Only been here a few weeks.”
“That so?Welcome to Maccon City.You like it?”
