Loving Montie (Breathless 4)

He stared at her for a long time before he answered. “Yes.”

Her breath caught and she closed her eyes so he wouldn’t see how deeply that one word stung. Although she knew it was an honest answer, her heart still clenched together. It’s a harsh flattery to know someone wants you but only to have sex with you. It’s like being slapped in the face, and then having that same person, kiss it to make it feel better.

She took another breath and opened her eyes. He was sitting back against his chair with his own eyes lowered. At that moment, she really looked at him. She knew one of the reasons this attraction was so strong was because she was lonely and he had a lot of the qualities she would want in a man. This man was a rescue from her dull life. She knew it would be dangerous to think she could just be a sex partner with him and embark on the fulfillment of his and her fantasies. But goodness the man looked delicious. Maybe she could?

At that moment, he opened his eyes and caught Eve’s stare. She blinked once and nodded her head.
