No Strings. Cara Lockwood
true connection. Something that meant something. Could she get that in one night?
He nodded. “You’re not ready,” he declared as a statement of fact.
“I’m...” Was he right? She felt all sorts of hormones rushing through her body, nerves tingling along her arms and up the back of her legs. She wanted love, but would she take sex right now in this moment?
“It’s okay.” He squeezed her hand. “Nost isn’t for everybody.”
That almost sounded like a goodbye. Was he abandoning the chase?
“I make it a rule never to pressure women,” he said and shrugged, as he finished the last bit of his drink in his glass and signaled the bartender for his tab. “This is something you want or you don’t.”
But...wait. I haven’t decided. Not yet. Maybe I do want this. The inner admission shocked her.
He signed the check and tucked his credit card back into his expensive leather wallet. “Emma, you’re an amazing and beautiful woman and it’s been my pleasure sharing this time with you.” He took her hand and kissed it, lingering a little over it, his lips soft and gentle.
She still felt shock. Was he leaving? Was this it? But she didn’t want the night to end. She didn’t want him to walk out of her life and never come back. This connection between them, it had to be real, didn’t it? He had to feel it, too?
“Can I...call you?”
He slowly shook his head. “I think we want different things.”
Did they? All she knew in that moment was that she didn’t want him to leave.
