“We’re friends,” I said, my voice barely steady.
Aaron’s lips curled. “No, we’re not.”
“Friendship’s too pure for this.”
His hand settled on my waist, drawing me flush against him.
“Do friends look at each other like this?” His gaze dropped to my lips. “Or hold on when they should let go?”
“Stop lying, Venus.” His voice lowered. “I feel it every time I’m near you.”
“But you don’t even like me.”
“Who said I had to like you?”
He tilted my chin up, holding my gaze.
“No promises. No expectations. Just us, and whatever this is between us.”
His lips hovered close to mine.
“Say the word, princess. I’ll make you forget why you ever wanted to say no.”
And God help me…
I wanted to.
