you.”
    Shaking her head before he
even finished, she said, “Karson, nothing will happen between us. Don’t you get
that?”
    “No, because I know you
like me and I like you, so let’s do this.”
    She scoffed, trying so
hard to lie, but she was sure it didn’t work as she said, “I don’t like you.”
    He laughed, proving her
suspicions. “Whatever, don’t lie to me. I can see it in your eyes—the way your
body responds to only my voice. You want me as much as I want you, but I’m not
saying let’s jump into bed. I want more than that. Let’s get to know each
other, find out what makes each other tick. I love listening to you talk, and I
just want to know more about you. I think that if you got to know me, you’d
agree that I’m worth getting to know.”
    Letting out a breath,
deflated, she said, “It isn’t that I don’t think you’re worth getting to know,
Karson. I know you are, and I know it would be a pleasure, but it’s just that I’m not worth it. Someone like you doesn’t go for someone like me. There are things
about me that would have you running for the hills.”
    Taking a step toward her,
he reached out, but then stopped. “Can I hold your hands while I say what I
have to say?”
    “I’d rather you didn’t,”
she whispered, lost in the depths of his dark eyes.
    “But if I do, you won’t
hit me, will you?” he asked with a small grin.
    Her mouth pulled up as she
slowly shook her head. With his grin growing, he took her hands with his,
lacing his fingers with hers before looking down into her eyes. Heat coursed
through her body as she continued to get lost in his eyes. He was so gorgeous,
so big, and as much as she wanted to run from him, she also wanted to press
herself up against him and rub her nose along the scruff of his beautiful face.
    “Now, as I was saying, I
think you are worth it. I think that meeting you proved why no other girl stood
a chance with me. I know we just met, but I feel this crazy thing in my chest
for you. I am drawn to you, I want you, and I can’t allow you to push me away.
I’m not running—I’m here. You’re right; you aren’t the type of girl I’d usually
want to fool with, but you are the type I’d run across the earth for. You got
me going crazy, Lacey, and my life will never be the same after you.”
    His words were music to
her ears, everything that a girl wanted to hear, but Lacey knew those words
were meant to be for someone else—not to be wasted on her. She went to tell him
that but, before she could, his lips met hers and the world came off its axis.
Everything stopped as Karson’s lips moved against hers. With her eyes closed
tight, her hands squeezed his as he kissed the living crap out of her. When he
ran his tongue along her bottom lip, she knew it was a bad idea to open her
mouth, but she couldn’t stop herself. Soon, she deepened the kiss. Removing his
hands from hers, he took her hips in his hands, bringing her against him as her
arms went to wrap around his neck. Pulling back slightly, only for air, his
eyes searched hers as they both gasped for breath.
    But then he let her hips
go, slowly running his hands up her ribs. She wasn’t sure what he was doing,
but his hand knocked into her left breast. Suddenly, the little kiss cloud he
was intoxicating her with was gone, and reality set in.
    Her heart pounded in her
chest as she took in long pulls of air. With a goofy grin on his beautiful
face, he cupped her face before saying, “I didn’t mean to do that. Not yet, at
least.”
    Desire swirled in his
eyes. His head dropped in for another kiss, but she backed away out of his arms
and put her hands up to stop him from coming for her. “This can’t happen.”
    “Why?” he asked, his arms
out. “Please don’t lie and say you didn’t feel every bit of that.”
    Her eyes clouded with
tears, and she wanted nothing more than to hide. “It doesn’t matter what I
feel, Karson. This won’t work. Please stop following me.
