Tangled Love

CHAPTER 35

I nod my head slowly, my breathing catching in my throat. Jake is inches away, his alluring scent wrapping itself around me. He suddenly steps away, dropping down onto the bed beside him.

It snaps me out of it and I plaster a grin onto my face.

"Sounds great." I reply, feeling my heartbeat slow down now he isn't so close to me. I will end up having a heart attack one day from having Jake Melvin invade my personal space.

"I'll find a job and pay you back everything I owe." I tell him, taking a seat on the end of the bed. I sit cross legged and turn to face Jake.

He's looking at me with one eyebrow raised, the blue in his eyes lit up with passion.

"Did you just say you're going to pay me for staying here?"

"That is kind of what people do Jake." I say in a duh, isn't it obvious way and he rolls his eyes, sitting up straighter. He places his hands behind his head, the muscles in his arms tensing. I tear my eyes away from him in fear that I'll start drooling and won't be able to stop.

It should be a skill to stay focused when an insanely attractive human being who smells divine is sitting inches away from you.

"You're not paying me." Jake says firmly and I narrow my eyes, shaking my head in disagreement.

"Of course I'm going to pay you, I can't stay here for free."

"Yes you can."

"No I don't want to."
