Lucas suddenly moved closer to her, his voice low. "Then let's do something more interesting."

As he spoke, he grabbed her hand and pressed it against the fingerprint lock.

Aveline froze, staring at him. This man was losing his mind again!

His cool fingertips brushed against the skin of her wrist, sending a chill through her. His grip was firm and unyielding.

"You were the one who said you wanted to try something interesting."

They were now standing very close. His clean, crisp scent filled the space between them. With his other hand, he swiftly opened the door and stepped inside, pulling her in with him. Aveline's inner alarm bells were ringing loudly.

His tall frame loomed over her, and he moved in to kiss her.

Aveline turned her head away, dodging his lips.
