A No-Date Date #teasertuesday

“You look… stunning,” Campbell says as we stand in front of each other, fidgeting. How long have I been standing at the door without saying a thing, too busy thinking about him and his blue eyes… and his abs?

“Thank you.”

“Why the boots?”

I look down at my two-inch knee-high boots. “Anything wrong with them? They don’t go with what I’m wearing?”

He shakes his head, chuckling. “They look great on you, Cait. Somehow, I thought you’d be wearing–”

“Stilettos, you mean, to go with the dress?” I say as he nods. “And tower over my date?”

“Not with me.”

“Well, you’re not the many guys I dated back in LA. Most of them were under 5’11. Not to say there’s anything wrong with that… it just ruled out heels for me.”

“Good for you, I’m not one of them,” Campbell says. “You won’t have to worry about that on our next no-date date.”

“You remembered!” I love how cocky Campbell gets when he’s not being Campbell, my brother’s best friend.

“Why wouldn’t I? You set the rules, remember?”

“I did, didn’t I?”

He thrusts his hands in his trouser pockets and playfully takes a step forward. “Are there any rules to this no-date date I need to know about? I wouldn’t want to break any of them.”

The way he looks at me makes my mouth turn dry. It’s a look he’s never given me before, one that tells me he likes what he sees… and not in that ‘she’s my best friend’s-sister’ kind of way either. It’s something else, one that makes my stomach do somersaults and my heart beat a bit faster.

And I want more.

Hope you enjoyed that little snippet!

Honestly, these two are driving me up the wall with their cuteness… and even though I’m supposed to be diving into a dark romance story for Naughty Pen (think dub-con and all that dark romance stuff…), I’m not ready to let go of these two.
