“That’s not what I was saying, Davina. I was saying that I want to get to know you, like really get to know you.”
“Why?”
I shuffled forward so we were standing only a few inches apart. “I honestly don’t know. I know you’re not my type; you already said I’m not yours, but what if our types have been all wrong all these years, and we are exactly what the other one needs.”
She threw her head back and laughed. “You’re kidding?”
I took hold of her face again, her eyes enlarging as I did so. “Does this feel like I’m joking?” Before she could open her mouth to speak, I brought my lips back to hers. She fought it for all of two seconds before she fisted my shirt and curled her body against my chest, tilting her head a little further to the side so we could connect better.
Unlike the first tentative kiss, this one was consuming, possibly to the point of branding. I wanted Davina to know that I did want to get to know her more. She might think it was only physical, but it wasn’t. I had a sudden need to know everything about Davina Daniels, starting with the sounds she made as I devoured her body.
Chapter Twelve
Davina
This was a bad idea, like a really, really bad idea. Sadly, I couldn’t help myself as I kissed Trevor back. It had been way too long since I’d been with a man, and this man was driving me wild. His mouth was pure heaven, and the feel of his arms around me made me almost delirious.
Trevor slowly ended the kiss, and yes, he ended it. I would have been happy to keep on kissing for hours, days—maybe forever. I stepped back from him and forced myself not to look at him. “That doesn’t change anything.”
He laughed. “You just kissed me back. Don’t tell me that you don’t feel anything when I kiss you. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t have jumped all in.”
I spun away. “I did not jumpall in.”
He grabbed my arm as I tried to walk away. “Do I need to do it again to prove to you that you were all in? I’m pretty sure that if I did kiss you again, I wouldn’t stop at just kissing you, Davina. I’d have you on that couch and be tearing your clothes off of you while you helped me.”
My cheeks began to burn, not because what he said embarrassed me, but because he was so damn right, and I hated that. “Fine,” I hissed. “I kissed you back.”
“Yeah, and you want more, just like I do.”
I stared at him. “Maybe it’s been a while since I have had sex, and anyone that kissed me that way would cause such a reaction.”
“Bullshit!” he growled. “You want me, Davina. Admit it.”
I did want him, but I damn sure wasn’t going to admit it. “What I want is to get this stuff done and for you to go.”
“Davina—”
I put my hand up. “Trevor, stop! I kissed you back. I told you it’s been a while. It didn’t mean anything. I’m an emotional mess right now. Just let it go.”
He nodded slowly as if he thought I was full of shit. Man, he read me better than I wanted him to. “Okay, fine. If that’s how you want to play this, fine.” His nose flared as he inhaled sharply and put his hands on his hips. “But I want you to prove it to me.”
“What?”
“Be my date to the wedding.”
“No.”
“If you aren’t interested in me, I get it, but be my date. Lexi is right, and I should have a date. Let’s get to know one another—as friends.” He stepped a little closer to me, and I wanted to run away, but I held my ground. “You were Carol’s best friend, and I would like for you to be part of Devon’s life. I think it would be good for him to have you around. You could share with him about his mom.”
“We could be friends without me going as your date.”
“Yes, we could, but let’s just say that it will help cement our friendship. You’ll be helping me out.”
“I helped you out last night.” I laughed. “I helped you out by watching him for almost two weeks while you were jet-setting around the world.”
He frowned. “I was working, Davina. I was not out having fun.”
True, he had been working. “No, Trevor. I’ll watch him while you attend the wedding, but I’m not going as your date.”
