I’d slept with Linc. My boss. My best friend. My I’d slept with Linc. My boss. My best friend. My everything. I closed my eyes and tried to pull myself together, searching for the best way to handle things between us now.
I couldn’t have the man I loved. Nothing fundamental between us had changed. He was Linc Kingston, real estate mogul and a man of wealth and privilege, and I was his assistant and best friend, and I didn’t want to lose our connection. He’d never had a long-term, serious relationship before. Not one he’d mentioned, anyway.
He steered clear of entanglements, and if he ever married, I wouldn’t be the woman he chose. With those thoughts circling around my brain, I was making myself dizzy with anxiety.
I couldn’t look at him as he walked back to bed and sat down beside me.
I wasn’t ready to face him but I turned anyway. “That was incredible,” I blurted and wished I could snatch the words back.
He reached out and caressed my cheek. “It sure as hell was.”
Relief washed over me, and I leaned into the comforting feel of his touch.
“But you know it can’t happen again,” he said, his voice gruff.
I blinked and swallowed over the lump in my throat, his unexpected words gutting me, even as I’d already told myself the same thing.
No way would I let him know he’d hurt me. I drew in a deep breath and blew it out before answering. “Don’t worry. I’m not the type to confuse sex with something more.”
The bed still smelled of us, and I couldn’t lie by his side and stare at him any longer. Turning, I slid off the mattress, and bent to grab my robe from the floor. Moving slowly, as if I wasn’t running from his words.
After wrapping the heavy material around myself, I looked at him. “We’re good,” I said, hoping speaking the words would make them true.
“You sure?” Concern laced both his voice and his expression but I didn’t need or want either.
I nodded.
He’d stretched out on the mattress, and his gorgeous face and muscled body had arousal rising once more.
Nope. Not going to happen.
Shower time, I thought, and walked away, head held high, closed locking the door behind me.

🇮🇹 Fato - Acquista su Amazon! Nonostante Ni 🇮🇹 Fato - Acquista su Amazon!
Nonostante Nick Mancini ci provi con lei come se fosse il suo hobby preferito, Kate Andrews cerca in ogni modo di ignorare quell’attraente imprenditore edile. Come può essere interessato a lei? Non molto tempo prima, lui era innamorato di Faith, la migliore amica di Kate. È veramente difficile resistere a quel corpo muscoloso e alle sue fossette sexy, ma Kate si rifiuta di essere la ragazza di ripiego. C’è già passata, e non ha alcuna intenzione di ripetere quell’esperienza.
Kate, però, crede nell’amore a prima vista. Il problema è che il sentimento deve essere ricambiato, e Kate è assolutamente convinta che tra lei e Nick possa soltanto finire male.
Nick ricorda il momento esatto in cui ha dimenticato Faith e ha guardato veramente Kate per la prima volta. È riuscito a provocarla e lei si è arrabbiata sul serio. Dopo averla guardata dritta nei suoi intensi occhi verdi, si è sentito perso. È certo che Kate provi le sue stesse emozioni, ma lei continua a respingerlo a ogni occasione, nonostante la chimica spettacolare che esiste tra loro due.
