Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Four
Emma couldn't help her smile. "Oh, are you?" she asked
"Hell yeah" he replied. He was smiling too
She didn’t want him to make her smile. but he did.
"You know..." she began. "Last night was kinda stressful, I think we would have been better off if we had just decided to spend the day in bed and resume work tomorrow."
He stared at her, an eyebrow lifted.
She knew what she had been trying to say and he knew what she had been trying to say, but somehow her perfectly innocent statement took on a double meaning as soon as it was delivered. She saw the light in his eyes, his eyes scorching hers as she rued every thoughtless word.
And suddenly they were staring at each other and thinking only about one thing.
"I’d better go…". She attempted a smile and tried to walk rather than run for the door, biting on her bottom lip.
And for just a fraction of a second he stalled her at the door with his answer.
"Yeah... You’d better!"
