His shirt had tightened and become more taut
against him when he’d folded his arms across his chest, and this only further
sent my body into a wild frenzy. Frustrated that he was having this effect on
me, I straightened my shirt, attempting to gain some composure.
“Ms. Professional,” he said as he looked me up and
down. A hint of hunger lingered in his eyes as he studied me intently. He
licked his lips, and I didn’t move from under his stare. I looked at him,
letting him know I wouldn’t back down from him. My barriers, my walls, were not
coming down. Plus, what was wrong with how I dressed? It was professional and
didn’t get me any unwanted attention.
“You know nothing about me.” He seemed like a man
who hid behind humor and his big gun who had the occasional on point observation.
He’d been right about me being professional and it pissed me off. Because no
matter how I tried to shake the way my body responded to his dazzling eyes and
the way he kept touching his gun, I couldn’t help but wonder how big his gun
really was. Snap out of it, Avery. I took my hand and smoothed out my
shirt again. Who did he think he was? I barely knew him, and he thought he knew
me so well. Sure, he was hot. He dripped testosterone and exuded sex with every
move of his mouth. And that little bump on his nose was endearing. He had
probably broken his nose a few times, and I secretly wondered what had caused
the breaks. But regardless of how fucking delicious he was, he didn’t know me.
“I know that you’re impenetrable. Like an
unbreakable vault.” He was right. I was impermeable. He would do well to
remember that. It didn’t mean I had to like that he’d guessed that about me.
“Yes, well, you’re a jerk.” Wow, great comeback, Avery. It wasn’t like me to lose control and
this guy, he was already under my skin. I was flustered, sweat beaded on my
forehead, and I was pretty sure I needed to change my panties.
“Ouch.” He grabbed at his heart. “Here.” He went in
his breast pocket and pulled out a card. “My information. Strictly professional
of course.” He winked at me and gave me a smile, his perfectly straight teeth
dazzling me.
“Thanks,” I mumbled, snatching the card and shoving
it in my pocket.
