- Do you like him? - he asked in a serious tone.
- Excuse me? - my heartbeat quickened again.
- Do you enjoy being asked things twice, or do you really not understand? -
I chuckled. - Why are you asking? I thought you had something to discuss.-
- Do you like him... or are you just forcing yourself to believe you do? - He took a step closer. I instinctively stepped back, my back now pressed against the garden wall.
- Answer me. - His face moved even closer. If I were braver, I would have kissed him right then and there. My whole body was begging me to.
- Yes.
- Yes, what?
- Yes, I like him.
He braced one hand against the wall, right beside my face.
- Why are you even asking me this?
- If you were mine, - he murmured, leaning in so close I could feel his breath, - I wouldn't let you go anywhere alone-especially not with another man, no matter what business you had to discuss.
