Guilty Needs

by Shiloh Walker

  “Visiting?”

  She blinked, a startled look in her eyes. Her gaze slid away. “Depends on your point of view.” Then she flashed him a wide smile.

  It was disarming, that smile, bright and wicked, the kind of smile a temptress would give a saint to lure him into all manner of sins.

  Ian was many things—a saint had never been one of them. As she propped her elbows on the bar, he found himself easing closer. “I’m here for … personal things, but that’s for later,” she said, lifting her shoulder in a shrug. “Tonight …? Tonight I’m just trying to not think.”

  I can help you with that.

  The words popped into his brain and they almost escaped his lips.

  He managed to keep them trapped inside, but one thing he couldn’t do was keep his eyes off that mouth.

  She noticed, too. He could tell by the hitch in her breathing, the way her pulse slammed against the fragile wall of her throat. Curious, he reached out and pressed a finger against it.

  He could very well be doing the stupidest thing he’d ever done.

  Her lids drooped and her head slumped, angling slightly to the side. He skimmed his finger down lower, tracing the elegant line of her collarbone. “I’ve had days like that,” he said softly. “Days where the last place I want to be is inside my own head.”

  He lowered his hand.

  She lifted her head and met his gaze dead-on.

  He started to turn away.

  “How late do you work?”
