Anger flashed in his eyes "Why exactly is that silly?"

Panic spiraled through her body like a relentless tornado Hoas this actually happening? This damn threesome was her way to try and put some distance between her and Matt All those dates and talks and the staggeringly a sex… It scared her After the fierce jealousy she’d experienced when learning that Annabelle had slept with Matt, Savannah had realized just how close she was to developing real feelings for thisoff a cliff and had two landing options--the water, which ed rocks, a relationship that, like all the others, would end in heartbreak

She didn’t want to crash into those rocks Her first priority had always been herself, and so she’d tried pushing Matt away by bringing another man into their bed

And he’d liked it!

She’d seen the passionate fire burning in his eyes when both he and Aidan had been fking her And noas telling her he loved her?

"You can’t actually mean that," she burst out "And is this really the time you want to declare your love, after I just slept with your friend?"

"It was just sex," he said with a shrug "But you and me…that’s more than sex, Savannah I think you know it but you’re too freaking scared to ad with h together," he went on, ignoring the interruption "We like the sa sex, we never run out of things to say to each other" Looking aggravated, he put on his T-shirt, then buttoned up his jeans "So yeah, all those things "

She bit on her thu habit she only turned to when she was seriously panic-stricken He couldn’t really mean any of this Or at least, the love part of it They’d known each other teeks, aat the bank That wasn’t enough time for him to fall in love with her

She didn’t want hied breath "Why does it not surprisethis way?"

She bristled "What’s that supposed to h and confident, like you don’t care about anything but having a good ti fat lie You want a relationship--you’re just too dahtened in offense "I told you, I’m not a relationship person They never last for h "Because ht of that? If you’re not meant to be with someone, obviously the relationship will end But when you find the right person…" He let the coht person for me?" She scoffed "We’ve known each other a couple of weeks, Matt Besides, it won’t work out between us"

He raised one dark eyebrow "Do you have psychic powers I’m not aware of? How do you knoon’t work out?"
