“For this I do.”
They looked at the different options for about forty-five minutes and then Levi made his choices.
“Those are good choices. I’ll make sure they’re not backordered and find out how soon we can get them. I assume you won’t mind paying a rush fee.”
“Not a bit.”
She started to get up but Levi put a hand on her arm to detain her. She wished she could say that it was no big deal for him to touch her. But it was.
“Dana, is something wrong?”
“No, why?”
“You seem distracted. If it’s something about the job—”
“It’s not the job.” She looked down at his hand on her arm. “You can let go now.”
“I could. But I don’t want to.” He rubbed his thumb on her bare skin sending a shiver up her spine.
He’s only touching your arm, you hopeless romantic. It shouldn’t mean a thing. “Levi—”
“Your skin is so soft. I’d almost forgotten that.” He looked up, into her eyes. “Almost.”
His eyes were so pretty. Endless blue, deep blue sky. And she could get sucked right into the promise in them so damn easily. Her gaze fell to his mouth. That beautifully talented mouth she wanted to kiss, to taste. Levi’s eyes darkened and they leaned toward each other.
At the last moment Dana pulled back. “We said we weren’t going to do this again.”
“Yeah, I know,” he said regretfully. “But I’m having second thoughts.”
So was she. Damn it. “We’ll regret it if we do.”
“Will we? Don’t you remember how good we were together?”
“Of course I do. And I also remember that we never could make it work.”
“Maybe we’ve changed.”
“Maybe. But have we changed enough?”
“We won’t know that until we try,” Levi said.
Chapter Four
Levi dreamed about Dana that night. Dreamed of holding her in his arms as she slept. Dreamed of making love to her, over and over. And woke up hard as a rock and aching for a woman he couldn’t have.
Unless she changed her mind. After all, he’d regretted making the deal almost the instant they made it. Could be she did too. But Dana was stubborn. Convincing her to change her mind wouldn’t be easy.
He got up, showered and got dressed. He left for the airport where he was to meet with Travis and Zack. Assuming they would meet in Zack’s office, he went there first. Zack wasn’t there so he went to the flight school hangar and found Travis.
“How’s it going with Dana?” Travis asked Levi.
“Fine. She’s good. I knew she would be but it’s different seeing her in action.”
“You could have seen her in action for the last eight or nine months here at the airport, if you hadn’t been avoiding her.”
“Yeah, yeah. What did you need me for?”
“Zack should be here in a minute. He’s the one who wanted to meet. Meanwhile—” Travis leaned back against his Cessna trainer airplane and crossed his arms over his chest. “How are you and Dana getting along personally?”
