“Stay,” she said.
He touched a finger beneath her chin and tipped her face up to his. “You believe
in me that much,” he murmured, “because of what we were to each other.”
He knew touching her was a mistake the moment his fingertip connected with
her soft skin. First, because of the warmth that spread up his arm and lodged in
his chest, threatening to undo all his best intentions. And second because her
eyes snapped dark with what he thought was fury, but was wiped away before he
could be sure, to be replaced by cool, studied indifference. She eased away.
“Despite the impression you might have gotten from my kissing you last night,
I’m all too aware of our history. Trusting you got me a broken heart before. This
time it could very well put my life in danger.”
