His expression turned serious, like he was really
considering my words. Damn it, stupid me and my loose
tongue. If this was a seven-day affair, I couldn’t let this get
any more serious than it already was.
His blue eyes flashed with something… I just couldn’t
place the emotion, before it was gone. His hand came up,
and he cupped my face, his thumb ghosting over my cheek.
“I’ve never had to woo a woman before. But I’m going to
try. For you. I’m not much of a romantic guy, but I’ll try. For
you.”
I let out a small laugh, but inside of me? I was a
complete mess. Stomach fluttering, chest cramping, heart
tightening… Holy shit. Did Maddox Coulter just say he was
going to woo me?
Girlish delight filled me, but I quickly shoved it away.
“Sheesh. I was only joking, no need to get all serious,
Coulter.”
His thumb feathered over my lips, a tender touch.
Stop. You’re making this harder.
“I am serious. I’ll give you romance, flowers and all, with
a side of dick to go with it.”
A snort escaped me, quite unladylike, and I smacked his
chest. “I knew it! You can’t do romantic to save your life.”
Maddox’s eyes darkened. “Was that a challenge?”
I chewed on my lip to keep from giggling. Me – giggling.
Shit, the Maddox’s charm was getting to me. “Maaaybe.”
A deep rumble came from his chest. “Try me,” he
growled, before his lips crushed against mine, in one long,
deep… searing kiss.
He claimed my lips.
He stole my breath.
One… simple… kiss.
Maddox captured my heart.
I expected him to want more, but he ended the kiss,
pulling away slightly. “Get up. I’m about to give you my
birthday present.”
