Oh God. Does he want this too? Am I not the only one feeling things here?
Hunter takes another step forward, ax still in one hand.
“I…”
Can I make the first move? Do I have it in me?
Before I can do anything, a crash sounds from behind us, causing Hunter to move away from me.
A tray of hot chocolates has dropped and Hunter rushes over to help, taking all of his heat and pine-scented muscles with him.
Damn it.
Sucking down the cold air, I try to steady my thoughts.
Hunter needs to be in the best friend box. Sex and friendship never works out. Well, I’m assuming it wouldn’t work out. I’d have to have it to really know.
And I don’t want to lose him. He’s too important.
I guess it was a good thing that tray of drinks crashed.
No move needs to be made.
Good.
Smoothing my hands down my coat, I walk over to where Hunter is helping clean up.
“Need help?”
He shakes his head. “Almost done. Why don’t you wait in the car and I’ll be out in a minute?”
“Sounds good.”
Because even being that close to Hunter is going to start causing my thoughts to go wild again.
Now I need to figure out how to make it through the rest of the night with him.
Chapter Ten
HUNTER
LOCK IT UP TIGHT
We had a moment.
Ollie,my best friend, looked like he wanted to kiss me. His eyes were glowing. Want swirled in his brown irises.
I know what that feeling looks like. What itfeelslike.
Because I was feeling it too.
I wanted nothing more than for Ollie to kiss me, but it didn’t happen.
Now, we’re sitting across from each other in a crowded bar playing Bingo.
Every now and then, his eyes flit over to me. I know because I’ve been watching him all night.
I couldn’t give a shit about how obvious I’m being.
