“I’d rather you didn’t.” Her voice drops low. “There’s no need to pretend any more. The reporter’s gone.”

She might be gone, but my feelings aren’t.

The obsession with Asia only got stronger since we separated.

My heart’s caught on this woman and it won’t let go.

She’s buried soul-deep.

My fingers run through my hair. “I just…”

I miss you.

I want you back.

I need you in my arms tonight.

The words launch to the tip of my tongue, but fear holds them back.

I take a step toward her instead.

The air between us charges.

The chemistry’s still there.

Still burning bright and hot.

She was moaning softly all through that interview. Inching closer to me. Trying to stir me up with a hand on my leg, a finger stroking my thigh, an invitation in her dark gaze to come closer and kiss her.

All our problems haven’t gone away, but if I can just touch her…

I reach out.

My fingers almost graze her cheek.

Almost…

Asia steps back. “We’re over.”

Two words.

Two bullets to the chest.

Bam. Bam.

I stumble back. Let my arm drop to my side.

“There’s only one week left.” Her mouth is firm. So is her voice. “Only five more days and our agreement ends.”

“Asia…”

“I’ll send you the divorce papers, Hansley.” Her eyes narrow. “Sign them.”

Damn. That hurts.

That’s freaking agony.

She turns on her heels and scurries out of the room.
