Wound Up
“Not even close. Hearing the hitch in her voice, listening to the accusations in her words, witnessing the hurt in her eyes—it had thrown him. He hoped the hurt he’d caused was superficial. It was what lay underneath that wouldn’t let him go, though. Below that painful veneer was a well of emotional damage she hadn’t been able to hide. He didn’t know who or what had caused it, though he intended to do his best to find out. The one thing he was sure of? She hadn’t walked out on him yesterday. He’...d driven her out that door. And the responsibility of his actions left him with the sensation he was sinking faster than a man wearing cement shoes in the Hudson.

Not seduce her with suggestive dances or passionate kisses that would allow her to claim she’d only been caught up in the moment. No, he was going to offer small things, little words of kindness, gestures of comfort—whatever it took to get her to realize that he was a better man than he’d shown himself to be and that he hadn’t meant what he’d said.MoreLess
