Fortune's Proposal (2011)
“It was dark out when Drew stopped in front of the house to drop her off and Deanna climbed out. Her legs felt stiff, not just from the unaccustomed trek they’d made, but also because the mud on her jeans had dried and turned hard.
“I’m going to take a shower,” she told him.
“Is that a warning?”
Had she meant it as one? Or had she meant it as an invitation?
She didn’t know. Particularly after everything that had happened that afternoon. After the way he’d talked.
After he’d kissed her the way he... had and destroyed once and for all the notion that she had any semblance of control where her feelings for him were concerned.
She looked at him. In the interior light of the truck, his hooded gaze was steady, but gave no hint whatsoever of his thoughts. If he’d been as moved by that kiss as she’d been. Or if he was afraid she’d make something out of it that she shouldn’t.
Maybe all it had meant to him was a moment of…comfort…in a difficult period.
Her fingers curled around the door handle.MoreLess
