“Okay,” she whispers again.
A sizzle of anticipation races up my spine, and with it, I move forward ever so slightly. “I surprised you last time. What do you want this time around?”
“You could teach me how to skate.” She bites her lip.
“You want to go to the rink?” I ask, shocked.
“I want you to show me what you love most” is her soft answer.
And for some reason, a small voice in the back of my head whispers that I’m staring at it right now.
My fingers flex, her gaze dropping down to them, not missing a beat. “Want something, Crawford?”
The husky drawl of her voice has my cock twitching.
Her eyes flare, the pulse point in her neck beating erratically, and her body—that gorgeous fucking body—moves toward me so slowly until our lips are just a hair’s breadth away?—
BANG.
“Please tell me Bella went shopping,” Kieran calls from the front hallway.
Bella leaps backwards a mile as the front door slams shut.
I close my eyes slowly, trying to contain my anger.
Iwillkill my best friend.
And as Bella busies herself in the kitchen, wrapping up on the cooking to get out of here quicker, it will be by throttling the man as he grins.
“Oh, did I interrupt something?” he drawls, the smugfucker.
“No,” I growl through clenched teeth.
Kieran’s grin turns devilish. “Good. Wouldn’t want to impose,” he says as he makes himself at home, my and Bella’s moment long gone.
But not forgotten.
Because now I know without a shadow of a doubt that what I feel isn’t one-sided at all.
