โ€œTalk to me, Kayleigh.โ€ He needed to see the depths of those brown eyes to make sure he hadnโ€™t sabotaged the progress theyโ€™d made. He gently lifted Kayleighโ€™s chin, and her gaze met his. โ€œWhy are you suddenly so agitated?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s nothing. I…โ€ She sighed heavily as she slipped her hand from his. But rather than pulling away, she clutched his shirt with both hands and lifted onto her toes. Her eyes drifted shut as she pressed her lips to his.

***

Kayleigh Jemison was sure sheโ€™d lost her freaking mind. She was kissing Parker Abbott. ๐˜๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ.

Parker seemed stunned at first. Heโ€™d gone still, allowing her to take control. But then his strong hands drifted to the back of her neck. His thumbs rested against her cheekbones as he kissed her.

The kiss started off tame and sweet as they felt each other out. But their tentativeness slowly gave way to the heat growing between them. He sucked on her lower lip before tilting her head, sliding his warm tongue inside her mouth and gliding it against hers.

She welcomed it with an involuntary sigh.

Parker was an excellent kisser. She could add that to the long list of things about him that surprised her.

Heโ€™d been utterly adorable as heโ€™d struggled to learn to dance. But as they danced to a slow song together, in full contact, hips in motion, his lean, fit body pressed to hers, she couldnโ€™t help wanting him to kiss her again. Something sheโ€™d fantasized about since heโ€™d kissed her at his parentsโ€™ house.

The memory of that first kiss often flooded her brain, the sensations washing over her with the same intensity they had that day. Each time, she dismissed the prospect of repeating their mistake.

It was a colossally bad idea that would only complicate their arrangement. Yet she couldnโ€™t help wanting him.

โ€œSo, where were we?โ€ Kayleigh seemed distracted and her hair looked even wilder than it had when sheโ€™d disappeared behind the curtain. As if sheโ€™d just tumbled out of bed and she hadnโ€™t been alone.

He swallowed hard, fighting off the image of Kayleigh in bed that immediately filled his brain.

๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ถ๐˜ด, ๐˜—๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ. ๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ถ๐˜ด. 

โ€œIโ€™d offered you fifty percent more than the assessed value.โ€

She froze for a moment, cocking her head before a smirk curled one corner of her mouth. โ€œI remember now. You asked what figure would make me happy, and I saidโ€”โ€

โ€œI know what you said, Kayleigh, and itโ€™s unacceptable.โ€

โ€œThen buy someone elseโ€™s building instead.โ€ She stared at him defiantly.

The number-one rule of negotiating was be prepared to walk away. Every salesperson understood that. But his family hadnโ€™t given him that option. This building had once belonged to his motherโ€™s family. Theyโ€™d run a tiny cafรฉ here, and now his father wanted to help his mother reclaim a portion of her familyโ€™s history by creating a flagship restaurant here, branded with the Kingโ€™s Finest name.

It was going to be a surprise. His mother didnโ€™t know, but his father had already purchased the two other buildings on the block and made the sellers sign confidentiality agreements. But without Kayleighโ€™s buildingโ€”the cornerstone of the entire projectโ€”it simply wouldnโ€™t work.

Closing this deal was the leverage he needed to make his father realize that naming his older brother, Blake, as his successor at Kingโ€™s Finest, simply because heโ€™d had the good fortune to be born first, would be a grave mistake.

Blake was a good person, a great brother and an excellent operations manager. But neither Blake nor their brother Max possessed the killer instinct the CEO position called for. His sister, Zora, did have that killer instinct. More so than he, perhaps. But what she lacked was the ability to control her emotions. With Zora, everything was personal. She was much like Kayleigh in that way.

He had to have this building, but Kayleigh didnโ€™t know that. So maybe if he showed her that he was willing to walk away, sheโ€™d come to her senses.

Parker stooped to pick up his attachรฉ. โ€œSorry we couldnโ€™t come to an agreement. Maybe it would be better if we went with new construction in that shopping center. Iโ€™m sure my brother will give us a good deal.โ€

Parker crossed the room under Kayleighโ€™s cold stare, waiting for her to stop him.

She didnโ€™t.

He turned the doorknob and stepped one foot onto the sidewalk, the bell jingling above him.

Still nothing.

โ€œYou really donโ€™t have anything else to say?โ€ Parker turned back to her.

โ€œDonโ€™t let the doorknob hit you where the good Lord split you.โ€ She grinned, her eyes shimmering with amusement.
