Tempting A Texan

Tempting A Texan
Carolyn Davidson

“You’re right, you know.”

“About what?” she asked, deigning to turn around and face him.

“You’re not in danger tonight.” He hesitated, and she moved to another step. “But don’t become complacent. Danger can come from many directions.”

He saw only the bottom half of her now as she moved on. And then her feet touched the seventh step, for he’d been unconsciously counting as she climbed. She was unmoving, and he waited.

“I think the biggest danger is not from you, Nicholas, but from within me.” One foot moved and then lowered again to settle beside the other. “I fear I’ll make a fool of myself one of these days if I don’t walk away from you.”

“But not tonight?” He asked so quietly he wondered if she had heard him.

Her feet shifted, then moved upward, her voice trailing behind her.

“No, not tonight.”
