At least, until Daniel’s eyes slowly shifted to mine. Then it all rushed back into action, going into overdrive. Blood filled with adrenaline flooded my body until I was sure I’d pass out. His light blue eyes darkened as they took me in. I may have even whimpered when he licked his lips, thinking his response through.
Fuck me. Was this what real desire felt like?
It was consuming and life-altering. It made what I felt for Ian a joke in comparison.
“What?” Erik almost shouted from right behind Daniel. “Abso-fucking-lutely not.”
“Stop being a prude, Erik,” Alex reprimanded.
Daniel delivered a devastating wink before possibly opening the key to my future. “I’ll see what we can do, but it shouldn’t be a problem. Don’t worry, Erik. I’ll make sure she’s safe with me.”
But melting under his heated stare, I wanted to be anything but safe when I was with him.
