He smiled and gently caressed my cheek. “You’re not,” he promised. “My mother makes her own choices. If she makes the wrong choice and helps Jess…well she’s going to have to deal with the consequences.” Alexander frowned. “My mother grew up rich. Then she married my father and married into his wealth. She’s never even had a real job. My mother isn’t used to the consequences of her own actions. This isn’t a problem that she can just throw money at.”

We were quiet for a few moments as we processed the heavy topic.

Alexander took my hands in his warm one, and just his touch made me feel lighter. But I still had my reservations about Alexander cutting off his family for me. I didn’t want to be the reason that he didn’t speak to them anymore.

As soon as Alexander took the keys out of the ignition, my skin tingled as the possibilities of being alone in a car with him in the middle of nowhere ran through my head. His body heat and manly scent invaded my senses, making anticipation curl in my lower body.
