“Thank you for the offer...”

“But?”

Teresa shook her head. “No buts, well, maybe a small one. I am just going to wait until they contact me again, making demands for the money.”

He leaned forward, his mouth so close to hers that she could smell his sweet, minty breath, count the individual hairs in his scruffy beard, see the small scar on his bottom lip. God, she wanted him to kiss her, to take her to bed, away from thoughts of debt and mobsters and inheritances she didn’t want.

Teresa lifted her hand and rubbed her thumb against his bottom lip, surprised at how soft his lips were.

Liam pulled the tip of her thumb between his teeth and bit down gently.

God, was he ever going to kiss her?
