“I’m just a guy, Sophie. And you’re a grown woman who turns me on, makes me laugh, and makes me wonder what it’d be like to call you mine. To be the shoulder you lean on, the reason you smile.” He leaned in close, ran his lips along the shell of her ear. “To make you feel.”
Jody Holford, Story of Us
“I’m trying to do this right, babe,” he whispered, pressing his forehead to hers.
“There is no right or wrong way, Dec. Why are we fighting it? If what you say is true, if you really want to give things between us a go, why are we waiting.”
His gaze pierced hers, surprising her with the depth of emotion. “Because I don’t want to fuck this up. You’re the first time it’s mattered.”

“Declan pulled her hand from his mouth, kissed her fingers, and then linked them together against his chest.

“I want you.”

“I don’t know what’s going on, either, but I damn sure know that the attraction between us is a hell of a lot more than an itch to be scratched.” He squeezed her shoulders, giving her a little shake. “I’ve been attracted to women before, Sophia. This is different, and you damn well know it. We can dance around it, ignore it entirely, but don’t fucking diminish it or tell me it’s nothing. It’s complicated as hell for all the reasons you just said, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real.”

“You don’t seem all that affected to me.”
… “I’m not allowed to be.” Her words went breathy. Declan clenched his hands into fists. Do not touch her. “After all, you don’t fu--- mess around with employees. Plus, I have the added hands-off bonus of you being friends with my brother. I’m sure you don’t see me that way.”
Jesus. She couldn’t be more wrong. He stared at her lips. “I shouldn’t. But trust me, I see you, Sophe.”
