Matt couldn't help smirking when she questioned his ability. They both knew he came close to making her toes curl without touching her... he was sure she'd run wet with an actual kiss.
"Because I know you," he answered, leaning into her a little more so that it looked as if he was about to prove his point. "We're alike in that arena," he mumbled lowly. "If someone gets close enough, gives you that right look, a simple brush of fingers, that perfect use of teeth on your bottom lip... it gets your motor running." He paused there, locking his eyes with hers before he leaned back again. "Besides, you haven't chased after me all this time to turn down the first real kiss I offer you."
He knew she wanted him. She had spent the last several years of their life making that perfectly clear.
