“You’re a watcher.” He cocked his head and winked. “Good to know.”

One more step, and his head was level with hers.

“Did you miss me?” he asked, his direct gaze never wavering.

“I’ve been busy.”

“I can see that.” He reached for her, and Lily froze, muscles pulled so tight that they ached.

She held her breath, afraid to breathe when his fingers brushed across her forehead. The touch was light—like a feather—yet it rocked into her, touching parts of her that it had no right to touch.

He glanced down at his fingers, and she followed his gaze, licking her lips at the sight of a dark, black smudge. It was from her heavy sketching pencil and she knew that she must look a mess.

“What is this?” he asked.

“Lead.” Simple. To the point.

“Are you an artist, Lily? Do you like to draw?”

She nodded.

“That’s nice.”

Mac took that last step, and she inched back.

“I’d like to see your work.”

“I don’t show my stuff to just anyone,” she retorted, finding a bit of that fire she so desperately needed.

Mac grinned down at her. “Well now,” he said like it was a secret. “I’m not just anyone, Boston.”

“No?” she replied, hiding the smile she felt inside. “Who exactly are you, Mackenzie Draper?”

He winked. “I’m the guy you’re going to invite inside.”

A shot of heat sat low in Lily’s gut. “Really?”

“And you’re going to feed me because I’m starved.”

“Huh.”

“And maybe find me something cold to drink.” He paused. “I’ll even let you watch…if you want to.”

Lily shook her head, but she couldn’t quite hide the smile tugging at her lips. “What if I’m done watching, and what if I’m not in the mood for company?”

Mac bent forward, and Lily’s eyes fell to his gorgeous mouth. A mouth that was made for kissing and licking, and suckling.

The ache in her gut intensified, spreading lower and settling between her legs.

He was so close that only a whisper separated them.

“Trust me, darlin’. I’ll make it worth your while.”

He was unbelievable. And arrogant. And confident. And hot.

And so damn sexy that if she didn’t move, Lily was afraid she’d melt into a puddle right there in front of him.

Jesus! Get it together.
