Don’t touch him. Don’t ache for him. For the love of Aset, don’t have sex with him.
But that was the thing about common sense. It was only worth something if she chose to heed it.
And right now, the way he was looking at her, like he was starving and she was a nice, rare steak, made her want to bury her common sense six feet under.
She took a single step toward him.
His expression shifted, hardened, like that of a predator catching a scent.
Dropping the sheet, she bolted.
