Get your act together, Miss Lister.
“It comes with the territory.” He stepped closer and I shifted back, a dance we continued until my back hit the flat mirror finish at the side of the elevator car.
“I don’t fit into your territory, Ford.” I lifted my gaze to him, begging him to step back though I couldn’t make myself say it. I wanted the same thing as he did far too much.
The elevator door dinged open, a soft announcement that meant I had a decision to make.
CHAPTER EIGHT
FORD
Nisha’s dark eyes werelike pools of starlight as she stared up at me, swathed in the green dress that was hers the moment I set eyes on it the afternoon before. Hell, she should have knocked me back when I asked her to be my date for the wedding, and here I was pushing her for more.
I was lucky she didn’t slap me.
Or maybe she should have. In the end, it didn't matter, because before she could say a word, I cupped her chin between my fingers and kissed her.
Nisha froze on the spot. Half a second, maybe less. That was all it took for my life to go to hell. Not a single breath passed, then her mouth softened against mine, and she welcomed the kiss.

“Greedy girl,” I murmured, swooping down for another kiss.
“Pushy man,” she laughed, pushing me back. Her chin tipped up, and the few free strands of her curled hair hung along the curve of her shoulders.
“Am I?”
“Mmhmm. Do I have to make a list?”
“Only if I’m on the naughty side.”
She groaned. “Stop, please. That was terrible.”
“It was,” I agreed, spinning her on the spot. “I’ve been dying to see your hair out. May I?” I brushed my fingertips over the pins that held her chignon up.
