Her New Worst Enemy (21 page)

Judging by the change in her body language, he seemed to be getting through to her.

“So, what do you think?” he said, pressing home his advantage. “Can you take a leap
of faith and trust me?”

“Yes.” She looked directly at him now, her expression determined, “I want to. I love
you and I’ll be miserable without you.”

He broke into a wide smile, his body finally relaxing as relief flooded through him.
“Well, that’s a good start.” He moved toward her now, closing the gap between them
and cupping her face in his hands.

He looked deep into her eyes. “You want a drink?” he asked.

She smiled at him, already anticipating his next line. “No.”

“How does the next bit go?” he asked, his mouth curling into a happy smile.

Ellie leaned forward and pressed her lips against his, gently at first, but quickly
becoming more passionate, and he kissed her back with desire, with joy and with love.

Formerly a Video and Radio Producer, Christy now spends her time as either a slave
to her children or her muse. When she’s not writing spicy romance, she can be found
stomping around the South West of England, glomming her to-be-read pile or escaping
from real life with her rather delicious husband.

Christy loves to hear from readers. You can contact her at:
