Excerpt
“There’s a lot you can do here as a nurse practitioner. Think what you did for the kids at the clinic. You have a skill you can use anywhere you choose.” Matt fixed his gaze on her. “And I wish you’d choose to stay here.”
She took in a breath and forced herself to keep silent. She could see he wasn’t done.
“I want you to be here with me.” In one motion, he gathered her in an embrace and she stood on tiptoes and circled her arms around his neck. She felt no hesitation in returning the kiss and inhaling his tempting masculine scent.
No way could she pull back from the next kiss or the one after that. But, finally, they broke the kiss and she caught her breath. “You know I like you, Matt.”
“Like me? I don’t think that was the question.” The next words came out fast. “There’s a whole lot more going on between you and me.” He pointed to his chest. “You stole a big piece of this heart of mine. And I don’t want it back.”
With her heart racing, she stepped away from him and mumbled, “I know. I don’t know…it’s hard.”
Matt paced and then stopped to catch her gaze. “Can you explain why that is?" he asked, his voice quieter now. "All the reasons you could check off on your list are just head things…logic.” He scoffed. “And if you ask me, they're weak too.”
“Yeah, right, like logic doesn’t count.”
His heavy sigh showed his exasperation.
She looked away. She couldn’t escape Matt. Not that she wanted to. But she needed to flee from a conversation that made her jittery because she wasn’t ready to have it.
His phone buzzed. He scanned the screen and held it up her. “Nick’s test results.”
