Ricochet (Addicted, #2)

by Krista Ritchie

“No. I find it infuriating.” His lips quirk in a smile. “Just like me?” She rolls her eyes, but she sort of lingers there as she refuses to lose contact completely. I can tell she wants to kiss him, maybe just as much as he wants to kiss her. But then she turns her head, breaking the moment. Just like Rose to push a guy away. Sometimes I think she fears a lack of power that comes in a relationship, as though she may lose some sort of advantage if she lets Connor in. He doesn’t look defeated. In fact, his eyes pulse with the exact opposite. Determined. Challenged. A hair falls from its hold in her pony, and Rose tucks it behind her ear. “I think I’m onto something here. This psychologist suggests that sexual addiction can be closely related to obsessive compulsive disorder. If I look into OCD, then maybe I’ll have a better understanding of what Lily is going through.” “We,” he says. Rose’s brows furrow. “What?” “You said ‘if I look into OCD.’ I told you I want to help, so I’m going to help. Lily is my friend too.” He shifts so their bodies press a little closer, and Rose’s laptop sits on each of their legs.

Ugh Connor, the man that you are😫
