But he found soft curves and lean muscles instead. Hear tingled in his hands and other parts of his body. A few minutes ago he'd thought she was going to kiss him. Their mouths had been only a breath apart, but maybe that was because he'd leaned down—because he'd wanted to kiss her so badly his gut twisted.
The woman got to him as no one else ever had. And that made her dangerous—almost as dangerous as the shooter.
