“When your chest hit my back.”
“Accidental.”
“When you kept your hand on my arm after I turned around.”
I have no answer for that one.
His voice lowers.
“I wanted to kiss you when I put my hands on your hips.”
Heat rolls through me.
“And when you turned your face toward mine,” he continues, “I almost forgot every intelligent thing I said earlier.”
I swallow.
“But you didn’t.”
“No.”
“Why?”
His eyes hold mine.
“Because you asked me to stop deciding for you.”
The answer lands softly.
That somehow makes it worse.
“And now?”
“Now I wait.”
“For what?”
“You know.”
I absolutely know.
My eyes drop to his mouth.
That is a tactical error.
Kane sees it.
His jaw tightens.
He still doesn’t move.
“You’re really not going to kiss me?”
The question slips out.
His gaze snaps back to mine.
Everything changes.
