I didn't have time to speak before he brushed his lips tenderly across mine. “No time for regrets, Storm.” Tears sprang to my eyes as he took my mouth so gently and thoroughly that I was rendered speechless. Lifting his head, he just stared before brushing my hair from my forehead. “You are too beautiful for words. Damn, I love that well-fucked look on you.” My heart pounded. This was not good. He cracked open a part of me I was uncomfortable feeling. A part of me that wished I could spend a lifetime in his arms, protected, happy, and loved. This sappy shit had to stop. There was no way in hell I was going to do this. “Look, Knox. I'm an escort who just violated all types of Credence O. rules.” I paused, licking my lips and tasting him all over them. Swallowing hard, I pressed on. “Last night was good…” He arched a brow mockingly. I scowled.
