An inexplicable shiver rolls through my shoulders. The low murmur of my friends and the other patrons at Rusty’s falls away. Harris. He’s the only person who elicits this type of bodily response. I remain rigid and unmoving except for my sweaty palms which I place on my thighs. “Luke, my man! How are you?” A strong hand slaps Luke’s shoulder. “Matt, hey.” His worried expression eases into a cheerful one when he shakes hands with a man wearing a large, black boot cast. Next to Matt is the beautiful, caramel-haired woman, Jane, who was with Harris in his convertible. And then it’s him. Harris’ masculine scent surrounds me. He braces his arms on the back of my chair, overwhelming me with his physical presence. I’m swirling in a sea of Harris, unable to resist his pull. He dips closer and then his lips brush oh so gently against my flushed cheek. The intimate contact sends my heart into overdrive. “Hello, Edith,” he murmurs against my skin before pulling away. I nearly swoon against the wood chair. Damn.
