\u201cI\u2019m trying to figure out how to get you to listen to me, to believe me. Without seeming like a dick about it. Because you\u00a0are<\/em> all those great things I\u2019ve said you were. I can see it and I\u2019ve only known you how long now?\u201d he laughed lightly. \u201cAnd then there\u2019s the part of me that wants to act on that, how I feel you are\u2026 But I won\u2019t let myself. Not yet, anyway. And there\u2019s\u00a0another<\/em> part of me that is both confused and impressed by how you would actually ask instead of\u2026 reading me, if that\u2019s the right term. I wouldn\u2019t be so polite about it, I don\u2019t think. But there it is again; your goodness.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI have to ask that one,\u201d she pointed out. \u201cWhat are you feeling, yes, I can read \/that\/. And I can frequently extrapolate the thought from there, from what I know. But I \u2026 didn\u2019t want to know. That way. Emotions can be so \u2026 deceptive.\u201d She was still having to force herself to look away from his mouth, but she didn\u2019t really want to look him right in the eye either. Who knew what he might see in her face?<\/p>\n

She\u2019d always been too open, too easily read. And too honest for her own good.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow you have me curious. The part of you that wants to act on how you feel I am?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAh, yes. Sorry. That\u2019s what I meant though.\u201d Tony had to agree with her about emotions being deceptive, and he nodded along with her at that. He watched her face, noting that she was having a hard time meeting his gaze, but the reason behind it didn\u2019t click.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat part of me wants you. I have to stop myself because you\u2019re too good for me.\u201d He looked down, wetting his lips. \u201cI want to prove to you that you\u2019re desirable for just being yourself, because you are\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The flush shot up into her face so fast her ears rang. Summer had to swallow hard and remind herself to close her mouth. “You could have any girl in the world just for asking.” She could not help herself; she looked down at her hands, limp and shaking slightly in her lap. She couldn’t doubt him, not with it brought to the surface by her questions. Oh, she was answered with a vengeance!<\/p>\n

“You can choose anyone, and yet you’re saying that \/I’m\/ too good for you.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
