She shrugged. “I don’t know. You might be able to talk me into it.”
Joshua’s pulse was suddenly racing. “Could I talk you into …” His voice dropped. “Other things?”
Jade’s green eyes glowed so appealingly and her lips softened. She shoved at his chest and Joshua stuttered back, lifting his hands in surprise. “Hey.”
Jade laughed. “You stop. You can’t coerce me into kissing you.”
“Hey.” He held his hands up innocently. “You can’t blame me for trying.”
“That’s what you think.” She pulled her key card out of her backpack and slid it through the door. “See you at six.” She disappeared.
Joshua stood there for a few seconds. He hurried into the suite next door. Things with Jade were unsettled, crazy, exciting. He felt like he was teetering at the edge of a cliff, and he wanted to fall no matter the consequences. Even though he wasn’t afraid of heights this fall was scary. He wished he could throw caution to the wind and tell her who he was, but he was on this path until he got the proof that she wasn’t the thief.Please, please don’t let her be the thief.
