She fell into step with him as they walked back to her car "I didn’t know you had any siblings"

As an only child she’d longed for brothers and sisters growing up Herchildbirth so it had always been just her and her dad Well, except for Edna Her father’s personal assistant had played a big part in her life too

She’d helped Izzy buy her first bra and she’d given her the sex talk when she was fifteen even though by then Izzy already knew everything iave away personal details about his life unless specifically asked So

She hated when people told her their life story within , probably because everyone wanted to tell bartenders about their probleht be a stereotype, but it was one she found to be increasingly true

"I’lanced at him

"You’re an only child?"

"Just me" She pressed the unlock button to her keyless entry as they neared her car "Listen, Adam, you don’t need to followher lips, she suppressed a sear and followed Izzy out of the parking lot The back of her silhouette was outlined by his headlights Not that it mattered He saw her face every time he closed his eyes

The vision of her interrupted his sleep on a nightly basis She usually kept her wild curly hair pulled back at work, but the few ti hair would look and feel like against his skin as she rode hi to alleviate the tension, but nothing worked With her dark brown eyes and high cheekbones, she had al of freckles across her nose only added to the innocent quality about her If it wasn’t for her fair coloring, he would doubt she was even Edward Ballantine’s daughter

A shudder racked his body Noas not the tiht tihts He’d been hired to protect her, not drool over her

"Sorry, I was talking to Carolyn" Izzy shut the door behind her

"No probleuess so She wouldn’t tellup tonight" Izzy tucked her phone back in her purse, but kept her keys in hand "Thanks for nored the co, forcing her to follow After what had happened tonight, he alking her to the door Her place was on the second floor, but technically he wasn’t supposed to know that He knew a lot about her that she hadn’t told him Like the fact that she had a bachelor’s in business development, but a master’s in medieval literature

To say the woman was a mystery would be a sore understateht ahead with her hand as they walked down the short sidewalk

"Are you working to?" He already knew the answer, but didn’t want her to know he’d checked her schedule This had to appear ih"

"Do you want to get so primal inside him sparked to life when her eyes flashed with desire
