“Does the approach of a full moon make animals restless? I think I hear them at night,” Skylar said.

      Now she was pushing things. She was an idiot.

      Gavin came closer than she should have allowed and faced her squarely. He smiled, but with an expression of sadness. Heartbreaking sadness.

      Why?

      Whatever she had expected, it hadn’t been that.

      As he slowly moved toward her, she felt every inch he traveled as if the air between them had been compressed. When he stopped, they were nearly chest to chest, and she had to look up to see his face.

      Liquid lava coursed through her veins. She was hot enough to be combustible and was breathing hard … all these reactions serving to confirm that she hadn’t been wrong about one thing. Something was going on between them on a crazy personal level. Their chemistry had been instantaneous and impossible to ignore.

      Animal magnetism taken to extremes.

      Lust at first sight.

      Dreams trespassing into the realm of reality.
