Curtis rested his forehead against Holly’s, and her heart decided. She nodded in agreement.
“Is that a yes?” he asked, his voice low and husky.
“Yes.” Her response came out breathy, which didn’t surprise her. Whenever she was around Curtis, she felt like a breathless teenage girl.
“You won’t be sorry.” He brushed a hand through her hair. “Damn, you’re beautiful.”
She let out a nervous laugh. It was so dark that all she could make out were shadowy images. His words were sweet, but that didn’t stop the insecurity from poking at her insides. She didn’t look anything like the stunning women she’d seen him with over the years.
“That, coming from you.” She shook her head. “You’ve always seemed to have a steady stream of gorgeous women.”
“You can’t believe everything you read.”
Maybe she shouldn’t, but she’d read the articles and she’d seen the pictures. She wondered if any of those women had meant anything to him and if he’d found love over the last decade. She didn’t want to ask, but she needed to know. “What was your longest relationship?” she asked, scuffing her sandal on the floor.
He ran a hand through his hair. Maybe it had only been a few weeks, which is what the Internet had led her to believe.
“Over six months,” he said, surprising her.
She tilted her head. “Why did you break up?”
His pause was long, but she held the silence, determined to wait him out. After what felt like an hour, he finally responded. “Georgiana thought I was still hung up on you.”
“Is that a yes?” he asked, his voice low and husky.
“Yes.” Her response came out breathy, which didn’t surprise her. Whenever she was around Curtis, she felt like a breathless teenage girl.
