“Kayla, you persist in seeing family in a way that neither you nor I have ever experienced” He frowned down at her, stepping closer to her to make his point “In a way I do not intend to live My ill not supplant your place in my life”
“My place in your life As your friend” She said the word like it left a bad taste in hershe preferred to leave behind?
That was not acceptable
She belonged to hi it
“Yes”
The distaste that flitted across her face was barely there, but he’d seen it
“Dae, suddenly that relationship disgusts you?” he demanded
“I didn’t say that” She turned “I’ll get ready to go”
“We’re not done talking”
“We are if we’re going to ave hi as she walked toward her en suite
Memories assailed him and suddenly he wanted her like he hadn’t allowed hiainst his trousers, the urge to follow Kayla both so strong and so shocking, he alave in to it
Damn it It had been a while since he’d noticed Kayla the way he was noticing her now What the hell was going on with him?
Whatever it was, he had better get it under control Kayla had a place in his life and that place was not his bed
Daet his libido back under control once and for all
Kayla wasn’t sure why she’d agreed to go on the harbor cruise with Andreas, except she’d overheard hi Genevieve to lose Kayla’s number
Just like she’d asked And she’d realized just how important their relationship was to hi plans to find his perfect little wife He’d left everything to chase Kayla down and when he found her, he’d stayed
Was staying until she returned She really didn’t understand why
It was as if Andreas was afraid that if he left without her, she wouldn’t come back, and for some reason that mattered to him A lot
He’d had breakfast delivered when she came out, dressed in her teal skinny trousers, tan-and-white-striped tank and carrying a white knit jacket, which she would put on when they left The only things in her signature color were her coral brushed leather flats and chunky necklace, but the slacks did great things for her thighs and bottoht without looking like she was trying too hard either
The outfit would be wasted on Andreas
“Do we have ti room
Andreas looked up froaze flared with soht “That is what you are wearing?”
“Yes”
“Don’t you think it’s a littlecasual?” he finally asked after a significant pause
“To play tourist on a harbor cruise?” she asked right back “No”
Andreas frowned “Are you trying to get picked up? Again?”
“What are you talking about?” Seriously What was the man’s problem?
“Your outfit It’s sexy Last night, you were dressed like a wo on here that I do not know about, Kayla?” Andreas did not look happy at the prospect
“The only thing going on is that you are being an idiot, Andreas This outfit is not sexy” Just attractive Darn it “So, it looks good oninvitation for sex”
“Fro, it is”
“You’re sitting and you’re still being ridiculous”
“Don’t be pedantic” He stood and pointed down to his obvious erection “As I said”
“I’m not responsible for yourfor youfor that”
“The point is, in fact, you are”
She didn’t kno she felt about the hard-on in Andreas’s pants Clearly he wasn’t happy she’d given hiht have been hopeful in this situation, but knohat she no about his plans for the future, she realized any attraction he felt for her
“That is your proble than this in front of you If you’re that hard up,other than sightseeing with me I can call Jacob and see if he’s still interested in spending tiht”
“You are not replacingover her, his body practically vibrating with the ferocity of his feeling
Wow Reaction, lared up at him defiantly
His hands fisted at his sides, his big body one large, muscled mass of tension “Let’s eat breakfast”
