“He took a step forward and laid one big hand on her shoulder. She felt the heat of him against her bare skin. That was one way to get her mind off her security. "I'm sorry I freaked you out. This is a safe neighborhood. I really wouldn't worry." Ally nodded, having trouble coming up with a coherent response while he touched her. "You wanta stay for a little while?" It wasn't a hard question, but he hesitated long enough that she wondered what was going on inside his head. Finally, he let out a sigh. "Yeah, I do want to stay which is why I'm going to go." "I don't understand." She did, however take note that his hand had remained on her shoulder. For a man intent on going, he hadn't made a move to leave yet. "I'm afraid if I stay, I won't want to leave." Ally swallowed hard and leaned a bit closer to him. "Then, don't leave." She saw his chest rise and fall, watched his focus drop to her lips, before he brought it back up to her eyes. "You don't do one-night stands." "I said I hadn't in the past; not that I was opposed to having one... with you." "This can't be anything more than tonight." Pulse racing, Ally nodded. "I know.”
