“Adrian put you up to this, didn’t he?” I asked.
It was the only reason I could think a man like Hawk Danielson would get up this early.
Just to come see me? No way.
“No. He told me you didn’t want to date me.”
“I don’t.” I lifted my chin and turned the corner so he wouldn’t see my smile.
“You don’t sound very convinced.”
This time, his voice came from behind me.
I stopped, pivoted, and peered back. He stood beneath the hall’s fluorescent light, hands in his pockets, lips and eyes banding together to smirk and drive me absolutely wild.
If that wasn’t a come-hither glance, I didn’t know what was. The pit of my stomach stirred.
I had no argument. He had me there. He so had me.
Hawk took my silence as an invitation to come closer. Every step sucked more oxygen from the hall so that by the time he was close enough for me to swim in the blue of his eyes, I could barely breathe. My pulse was a drum.
“I—I have to get to work.” My voice was embarrassingly breathy. He was completely muddling my thoughts.
“Say yes.”
“You’re busy.” My argument sounded feeble. “I’m busy. It’s not a good idea.”
Hawk stroked my arm. Though I barely felt his touch through my thick coat, it was noticeable enough.
“Come on. Be my date at the ball. You might like me.”
That was exactly what I was afraid of.
