Excerpt
from Besotted
Regan
was just too damn alluring in that dress for him to accept that he
couldn’t have her if he wanted her.
He
was an idiot. He should have told her years ago. He should have told
everyone. Despite the tongue- lashing he was silently giving himself,
Tyler was certainly no fool. “The professor” to his friends, he
was generally serious and professional. He had the smarts necessary
to obtain both an MBA and a law degree, and he was now CEO of LHRE
and on hiatus from one of the fastest growing tech companies in the
country. He kept his cool in general, but again and again he behaved
like an idiot around Regan.
Since
that damn frog almost thirty years ago, he had loved no one but
Regan. Sometimes they made it work together, like in high school, but
most times not. His feelings were unchanged, but something always
stopped him from declaring his love and asking her to do the same.
This time it was something insurmountable.
And
yet Tyler couldn’t stay away. He was the proverbial moth to the
flame, flirting with disaster every time he flirted with her. He had
promised to stay away, to keep her safe,but the attraction was
undeniable. Yep, prize idiot.
Returning
to the ballroom after the latest threats, Tyler briefly considered
sharing the conversation, coming clean with Regan and perhaps moving
their relationship forward. He was at a fork in the road but remained
silent, Tyler knew he was on the wrong path but couldn’t summon the
will to fix it. Not only were his problems unsolvable, but she was
involved with Brandon. Tyler felt hopeless.
He
was preoccupied just as Regan accused, but Tyler tried to give Regan
the attention she deserved. He failed miserably until Regan suggested
they just leave. That got his attention. Who knew when he would hold
her in his arms again.
“Come
dance with me again. It would be a crime to waste that dress.”
Encircling
Regan in his arms, his body responded to her nearness, even as his
mind worried over the earlier texts. He was unaware of his hand
stroking her back, fingers lightly skimming over her bare skin. He
wasn’t thinking clearly when he pulled her close or when he dropped
kisses on her hair. He wasn’t paying attention, just acting on
instinct, Regan was responding, her breath growing uneven, her hands
clinging to his shoulders.
