it was sweet, the way he knew exactly what to say to her. it was also maddening, knowing that she was about to melt down to her knees for a man who was completely off-limits just because he was the only one who knew how to make her feel something invigorating and worth feeling. it actually should be studied, how easily she faltered for roman the second his arms came around her. her lungs expanded with a shaky, shuddering breath as his warmth enveloped her, the distinct scent of his shirt and faint smoke instantly triggering a drop in her elevated heart rate. the tight knot of tension that had been twisting her stomach into knots all evening began to unravel, her body going soft and heavy against his chest. nadia let her eyelids flutter shut, her forehead sinking heavily into the crook of his shoulder as his lips pressed against her ear, the heat of his breath sending a small, involuntary shiver down her spine. how safe she felt in a room that should have carried a warning label, how her body recognized his touch faster than her mind could process the mistake. with a soft sigh, she brought her hands up, her fingers sliding beneath his jacket to clutch at the fabric of his shirt as if she were trying to ground herself. "you're terrible with self control," she murmured, the words muffled against his skin, not meaning it one bit, though she only tightened her grip, pulling herself even closer into his space until the heels she wore no longer felt like a barrier between them. "you know that, right? you're supposed to turn me away this time."
