Burned (Sheppard & Sons Investigations #7)

Chapter 26

Matt

The night wouldn’t end the way I wanted it to, which was probably for the best.

The promise in Madi’s eyes and her sultry voice had made me blind with desire.

Blind enough to risk life and limb, and my job, to rush her out of the restaurant so I could get her into my bed before she changed her mind.

Or I found the strength to resist her.

My laugh echoed in my truck as I pulled away from the entrance.

Resisting Madi wasn’t in the realm of possibility.

Luckily, her brother’s wife going into labor was exactly the cockblock I needed to prevent me from fucking up the good thing I had going.

We are friends. And that was all we could be.
