He growls and hauls me near. “We need to get one thing straight before I ravish you.”
“What?” I press my legs together to reveal some of the pressure. “Let’s get to the ravishing.”
“We’re officially a couple now.”
My libido disappears. She packs her bags and hitches a ride with the first car to pass her. She is gone, gone, gone.
I scoot away from Damon. “We can’t be a couple.”
He scowls. “Why not?”
“Let’s start with you’re my boss.”
I’ve never actually had a boss before, but I’ve read enough romances to know boss/employee relationships are a bad idea.
“Are you worried about your performance review? Or what your colleagues think of you?”
“I don’t have any colleagues and you’ve yet to give me a performance review.”
“Exactly. This isn’t your typical boss/employee relationship. You don’t have to worry your colleagues think you’re getting favorable treatment.”
He’s not getting it. “But what about when this ends? And you fire me because you don’t want me around?”
“We already agreed on a three-month severance package.”
I slap his chest. “I don’t care about the money. I care about Skye. I can’t imagine not having that little girl in my life every single day.”
“I will never stop you from visiting Skye. No matter what happens. Your relationship with Skye is separate from my relationship with you.”
Is he for real? I study him. His warm brown eyes shine with honesty.
“What’s your next problem?”
“What do you mean?”
He taps my temple. “You obviously have a whole list of reasons why we can’t be together all ready. Let’s hear them.”
I want to deny it, but he’s right. I do have a whole list of reasons. Starting and ending with I don’t deserve him.
I try to stall him. “This is going too fast.”
He snorts. “Angel, this is me moving slow.”
“Slow? We’ve only known each other for a few weeks.”
He shrugs. “I know what I want.”
He thinks he knows what he wants, but he doesn’t know me. The real me.
“You hardly know me.”
He squeezes my hip. “I know the important things. You’re kind and caring with my daughter. You’re funny when you let your guard down. And our chemistry in bed is explosive.”
His words warm me from the inside out. No one has ever said such nice things about me – Love Hill, the homewrecker. Except for the chemistry is explosive part. Men always claim explosive chemistry with me although I’ve never experienced the chemistry Damon and I have with anyone else.
“What’s your next objection?”
“Maybe I’m not finished with the previous one,” I claim.
