Thank God. At least she could breathe a little easier knowing this, not that she’d ever tell him. His big fat, gloating head would never fit through the door if she did.
Kira frowned as he sifted through the colors for the reds. Really? She bit back a smile.
Eyeing him from beneath her lashes, she grabbed the lot off his palm, startled when the sweets all changed to green. Still, she shoveled them into her mouth and made for the door, happily crunching on her gains. Only she didn’t get far. He grasped her by the upper arm and hauled her back in a move so fast, she slapped a hand to his chest so she didn’t collide with him. Again.
“You don’t pilfer my candies, change their color, and take off.”
Her mouth full of the gooey chocolate, she chewed, aware of the slow and steady thump of his heart under her palm…his warmth seeping through his shirt and into her skin. There wasn’t even a hint of a smile on his face. But that intense stare of his…
Her breath hitched. She hastily dropped her hand and swallowed the goo. “Or what?”
“You’ll pay.” His cool gaze settled on her lips. “And you can be sure I’ll take every last one back.”
Then he strolled out, leaving her gaping like a witless idiot.
