In which rivals just might become lovers.

“What is that look, Dalton? If I didn’t know any better I’d think you wanted to kiss me.”

“Don’t tempt me,” he said sharply.

“Or what?” Beatrice challenged.

“Or I just might.”

“Oooh,” she breathed. “Oh, I am so…”

“So what, Beatrice?”

Dalton took a step close, too close. There were mere inches separating their thundering hearts. He either wanted to kiss her or throttle her, and it took all of his self-control to keep himself in check.

This was not how he usual conducted business.

He would never stand so close.

He would never feel so much.

He would never think of kissing.

That’s what this felt like. A prelude to a kiss. An up-against-the-wall, cannot-even-breathe, about-to-explode, scorching kiss. One long overdue.
