No chance of that now.
Actually, there had never been a chance. She’d just been living in la-la land, as usual.
“Thank you,” she said quietly. “For everything.”
“You are welcome. Is there anything else you need to tell me?”
Like what? That she wanted to strip him off and lick every inch of him before sucking him off until he came?
Yeah. There was no way she was telling him that.
“I don’t think so.”
There was a strange look on his face. As though there was something he wanted her to tell him.

“Everything went okay at work this week? You said your boss kept you back the other night.”

Would you like to join me?
Thank God she didn’t blurt that out. That would’ve been embarrassing.

He asked her that a lot.
Probably because you blush a lot.
Stupid, sexy thoughts.
“No. Nope. I’m fine.”
He gave her a skeptical look before placing a hand over her forehead.
She nearly sighed at the touch. Here he was, trying to feel whether she had a fever and she was melting with arousal.
