“You and me—this isn’t a good idea,”
Quinn muttered, fighting the need to pull Victoria into his arms.
“Why isn’t this a good idea?” she asked, her voice a husky murmur in the hushed, expectant silence of the room.
“Because you’re a safe, settled woman. And I’m not the boy next door. ”
“What makes you think I want the boy next door? Maybe I like dangerous men. ”
The grip of callused fingers tightened reflexively, his thumb stroked across soft cotton and found silky skin. His gaze flickered to her mouth and downward to her throat.
“Not a good idea,” he murmured, distracted by the contrast of his work-roughened fingers, dark against her pale skin. “A woman is likely to lose her good reputation—and a lot more. This won’t work, Victoria. Find yourself a nice, safe man—and forget this happened. ”
