His eyebrows rose high. “A little?”

She laughed, covering her face with her hands, her cheeks warm with humiliation. “Okay, maybe a lot.”

“How about this.” His fingers gently pried hers from her face. He stepped closer to her, just a hair’s breadth away from her. Her hands fell apart, but Myles’s larger ones still held on to hers. “Let me make it up to you. Tonight, have dinner with me.”

Her breath caught in her throat. She swallowed hard.

Should she?

Her mind raced, and she could think of about eight reasons why she shouldn’t go out with him.

“Myles, I don’t think—”

“You just said that you wanted time to speak with each SWAT member, right?” he asked. He was smooth. Real smooth.

She bit her lip and stared at him.

He nonchalantly shrugged. “You want to interview me, and you have to eat.”

Dammit, he was stroking her hand with his thumb, and it sent a rush of arousal through her body. It had been a minute since a member of the opposite sex not related to her had touched her.

“Myles—”

“You don’t eat?” he cut her off, not giving her a chance to complete her sentence. He closed the gap between them, and her breasts were pushed against the hard plane of his chest.

The scent of his cologne was like an aphrodisiac. She breathed in deeply, mesmerized by the smell of him.

“Of course I do,” she spluttered. The heat of Myles’s body radiated through his dark shirt. He’d taken off his gear after the final leg of the tryouts, leaving her to feel him.

Myles was one hundred percent all man.

She bit back a moan at the feel of his hardened chest.

Rigid abdomen…and if she didn’t know any better, she would swear he had a long flashlight hidden in his jeans pressing close to her.

“Well, then it’s a deal.”

“Um, okay,” she breathed. She watched with bated breath as Myles leaned down to her. Her heart seemed to lodge in her throat.

Oh my God, he’s going to kiss me.

She melted against him, and all the while he placed his lips gently on her cheek before moving away from her.

She blinked, unsure of what exactly had happened. She stepped back and bumped into her car, embarrassment filling her.

“I’ll see you soon, Roxxy.”

He ushered her into her car, and before Roxxy knew it, she was driving away.

She slowed to a halt at the red light of an intersection, still in shock. She reached up and pressed her fingers to the spot where his warm lips had touched.

“What the hell just happened?”
