No More Talking: Hearts Are Wild, Book 1

“I have a job. A business.”
West sucked in a deep breath and let it out slowly. As she watched, his shoulders relaxed and his hands opened. “Yes, and we both know that things are going to get slow now that tax season is coming to an end.”
“I still have clients,” she argued.
He nodded. “And I’ll bet you next year’s profits that you can manage those as well as Weston’s. With your hands tied behind your back.”
Kelsey opened her mouth to argue further, but she couldn’t come up with another excuse to refuse the job. Not without revealing her feelings, and she wasn’t ready for West to know how deep those went. Besides, her business was about to shrink, and with it her income. Not that she was in any danger of going broke. Tax time might be exhaustingly busy, but it was also extremely lucrative. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the chair.
Leather creaked, but she kept her eyes shut, not wanting to see him just now for fear one look into those storm-cloud eyes would seal her fate. His feet brushed over the concrete floor as he moved around, and it only took a moment to work out he was walking around the desk towards her. She heard him crouch down beside her, felt the light brush of his hand over her denim covered knee.
“Kels. Look at me.”
She swallowed, her constricted throat aching as the muscles worked. Slowly, she raised her eyelids and turned her head to meet his gaze.
“Give me a year. One year to make it work for both of us.”
She wanted to say yes. God, did she. But there was more at stake than their perspective businesses. If she said yes, she’d be in West’s presence every day. There’d be no hiding from her feelings and certainly no stopping them from growing deeper. Day in, day out, Kelsey would be faced with her biggest weakness.
