Lure of Forever
“Enclosed in the close quarters of his old sports car, her natural scent wrapped itself around his senses, and he swallowed the groan as his body responded instantly, again.
When she had sat on his bed, looking up at him with barely concealed hurt in her soft brown eyes, it had been like a punch to his gut. Clearly hurt by the suggestion of her wearing another woman's clothes, he'd ground out an explanation through his clenched teeth and stalked out of the room, slamming the door behind him like... a goddamn teenager.

His fingers itched to rub away the worry line between her eyebrows. She had been full of questions when she re-emerged from his bedroom––questions he'd fended off as best he could, without scaring her witless or giving too much away, mindful of the fact that he still couldn't read her thoughts.MoreLess
