Teaser<\/h3>\n

His soft groan caused her to raise her head in alarm. \u201cI\u2019m sorry. Did that hurt?\u201d Alcohol could sting like a son of a gun, but his gaze didn\u2019t reveal pain, but heat. She couldn\u2019t help her eyes widen with shock. That same raging fire she remembered from so long ago burned from his dark brown eyes. All of it aimed right at her.<\/p>\n

Oh no. No, no, no, no!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTh-there. You\u2019re all set.\u201d Ducking her head, she busied herself with putting away the first aid supplies, hoping he\u2019d leave without saying anything.<\/p>\n

\u201cJamie.\u201d<\/p>\n

So much for hoping. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to talk about\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d She cut him off, raising her head to glare. \u201cWe don\u2019t need to talk. About anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

His brow furrowed, gaze darkening. \u201cYes, I think we do. What happened between us\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIs in the past,\u201d she interrupted once again. \u201cLet\u2019s leave it there.\u201d Heaven knew she sure as heck didn\u2019t want to wade through that heartbreak again. \u201cI\u2019m your boss, and you\u2019re my employee. For now, we\u2019re just coworkers.\u201d<\/p>\n

His jaw clenched, battered hands curling into fists. Rising from his chair, he leaned down until he was inches from her face. Warm, coffee-scented breath caressed her cheeks, teasing her lips, making her ache to feel his mouth on hers again.<\/p>\n

\u201cFine, you are the boss, but we are more than just coworkers<\/em>. We have a past, Jamie, and you can\u2019t pretend it never happened. Pretend we<\/em> never happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
