Tempting Heat Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On day three of being snowed in with her old friend-turned-nemesis-turned\u2026 whatever Tom was at this point, Finn came to the breakfast table armed with plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo I figure we\u2019ve got two options,\u201d Tom announced after his first sip of coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou do?\u201d She choked back a laugh that roll-with-the-punches-Tom had beaten her to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYep,\u201d he said. \u201cOne, I still have a mountain of editing, so like we\u2019ve been doing, we can work until it\u2019s time for bed. Or two: We declare today a lazy day and lounge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His spoon clinked against his mug as he waited for her response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFunny,\u201d she said. \u201cI came up with three options as I was falling asleep last night.\u201d He didn\u2019t need to know she\u2019d written them down and numbered them in order of preference in the Bullet Journal she kept on her nightstand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExcellent. Hit me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, there\u2019s plan A: we keep plugging away on our projects. Plan B: we fire up Netflix. Or plan C: we spend all day in bed, reading and napping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He quirked a brow at her. \u201cIn bed? Sounds heavenly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words scorched the air around her. She hadn\u2019t meant to say it like that, but it slipped out and now the image throbbed in her brain. Tom, sprawled across her bed, curly head propped on his hand while the other held a book. Setting it aside when he noticed her eyes drifting shut and then wrapping them both in a blanket. Napping together and waking to find his hand sliding under her clothes, seeking\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her cheeks heated, and she reached for her coffee to halt her wayward thoughts. That <\/em>wasn\u2019t part of the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDifferent beds and different bedrooms of course,\u201d she clarified, inwardly wincing at her prissy tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His hot gaze burned into hers for a beat longer than was strictly necessary before his mask slipped back into place and Friend Tom was seated in front of her once more. But was that relief she felt, or disappointment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
