Allowing himself only a few precious seconds to taste her, he swiped
his tongue over the wound again, only allowing it to clot. Carefully he
made certain not to close the wound fully, knowing she would become
suspicious if it were to be suddenly, miraculously healed. The scent of
her arousal served to make his desire more urgent.
He finally pulled her finger out of his mouth.  All better?
 What? She looked dazed.
 Your finger, is it better now that it got a kiss?
 My finger? Her eyes were dark with passion.  Oh, my finger. Yeah,
thanks. She licked her lips as she watched him place the small bandage
around her wound.
 Tell me about yourself. He was trying to ease the sexual tension in
the air. He didn t want her to think she was just a sex toy to him. But he

also wasn t ready to delve into what that revelation could mean, or why it
mattered to him. He only knew that he really did want to find out more
about her.
 There isn t much to tell. My sister is pretty cool, but she can get
overprotective.
 What brought you over to my table the other night? I m not
complaining, but I do wonder what possible explanation there could be
for my amazing luck.
 I just& Well, I can t tell you. But I will tell you I am very glad I did
come over.
For the first time since he d met her, his curiosity won out. He knew
it was wrong, but he couldn t resist the temptation yet again. Staring
deeply into her eyes, he easily slipped into her mind, finding the memory
he was looking for. Before his mind s eye, her day replayed for him. How
her boss had looked at her. He understood now why she d said her boss
made her skin crawl when he stared at her that way. He saw the way her
boss smirked as his supervisor fired her. His expression clearly saying
better than words  you should have just slept with me . Seth fought off a
growl as he resisted the urge to find this ass and teach him to show more
respect for women.
Pressing forward, he  fast-forwarded to when she was at the bar. He
saw her sister look at her and announce her as the player in some game.
Guilt flooded him at gaining the knowledge in such a way. Breaking
the stare, he saw her eyes were glazed, as though she were in a daze.
After a few seconds, Willow shook her head.  I m sorry, I must have
drifted off for a minute. What did you say?
 Nothing important, sweetheart.
A look of regret washed over her face.  Oh, that s right, you asked
about last night. Honestly, I m not sure I d even want to tell you why I
walked over there if I could. It s embarrassing. She wouldn t look him in
the eye.
 Really?

 Well, see, I m not supposed to tell you. And I really shouldn t, it
doesn t speak well of me& 
 But? He prompted her. He was trying to remain neutral, trying his
best not to pressure her into answering if she really didn t want to. But
he wanted to know what possible game she d played.
 But I will if you want to know. She paused, as if waiting for him to
say yes or no, still refusing to look him in the eye. After a moment she
continued despite his silence.  My friends came up with this game. It s
silly really. They were trying to make me feel better. You pick a guy and
go ask him what kind of underwear he wears. If you guessed right, you
can give him your number and a kiss. But commando is always rewarded
with a full-on French kiss.
 I take it you guessed incorrectly? He couldn t hide the smile in his
voice. He hadn t delved that far into her thoughts and memories. Now he
almost wished he had.
 No, I didn t. He arched an eyebrow as she continued her
explanation.  You didn t exactly give me a chance to give you my number
and leave, she explained.
 No, I didn t. He smiled, not attempting to sound sorry.  So, you only
came over because of a game? His pride was a little wounded when
confronted with the fact. But the important thing is that she did come
over, not why, he tried to tell himself.
Her blush gave him his answer.
 Oh, Seth, don t look like that. She sounded remorseful.  Yes, it s the
reason I came over, but&  Her blush grew.  According to the rules, all I
had to do was kiss you. Everything else& everything else was because I
wanted to.
Looking into her eyes, he didn t need to probe her mind to discover
she was telling the truth. Her emotions were right there for him to see.
She was an open book.
 To be honest, I m glad they talked me into playing. I m not sure I d
have been brave enough to approach you on my own. Her hand reached [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
