Awakened By His Touch
“He really couldn’t have messed things up any better.
Any worse.
Elliott moved quietly behind Laney as she showed him the final remaining area of Morgan’s operations. Her movements were as dull as her expression. As carefully distant. Closed to any further discussion outside of the necessary.
Utterly closed to him.
And why wouldn’t she be? Everything she’d said last night was right. He shouldn’t have started anything with her without knowing where and how it was going to end. He ...didn’t do unevaluated risk. He did strategic risk. Carefully measured risk.
He absolutely didn’t do head-swimming, mind-addling, resolve-defying risk.
Because this was how it ended.
Enjoying Laney’s company was an indulgence, and kissing her had turned out to be a luxury he couldn’t afford. But it was because of his personal values—not his corporate ones.MoreLess
