One corner of his mouth lifts.
“They're your friends too.”
“True.”
Silence. Not awkward.
This is worse. It’s charged.
Grimm watches me.
I watch him.
And I wonder if Dora's advice is actually a good idea.
No. Bad Aggie.
The limousine slows.
Already?
I glance through the window. Yep, we’re at my house.
Damn.
The driver opens the door. Grimm gets out first and offers me his hand.
Of course he does.
I take it.
Because of course I do.
And that same electric heat runs between us.
Every damn time.
He walks me to my door. The limo waits at the curb.
This is the moment.
I could say goodnight. I should say goodnight.
Instead, I turn around. Grimm is standing close. Very close.
I can smell him. That clean, expensive scent mixed with something darker.
Woods.
Night.
Wildness.
My heart starts pounding.
“Would you like to come inside for a nightcap?”
There.
