Dee ignored hiot this one covered”

Chase’s jaorked but he shoved his hand into his back pocket and pulled out a card “You change your mind, you call me”

Don’t take it, don’t take it, don’t, ah…hell Dee’s fingers curled around the card

She didn’t even see his hand ers were around hers and he brought her hand to his ue tasted her

Two seconds, maybe three Then he dropped his hold and flashed that bad boy grin “I wanted a little taste”

“We need to tell Zane He’ll need to—”
