  Annabelle had an agenda all worked out for their movie date. Come clean, then seduce the hell out of Duncan.

  Duncan, on the other hand, had his own agenda. Keep his hands as far away from Annabelle as he possibly could. After their last date, where he had to bite his own tongue in order not to beg her to let him escort her inside, he was determined to make it to tomorrow night. If nothing else, he hoped by then she’d be as horny as he when he told her the truth about the five date rule. He was fully prepared to give her the full-court press seduction and push not taking no for an answer within an inch of propriety.

  During the action-packed thriller, when Annabelle’s hand crept onto his thigh, creating the beginnings of a raging hard-on, he intertwined his fingers with hers and relentlessly held on to them for the rest of the movie. The only time he let himself go was when he pressed her up against the car door and took her mouth with his own, letting her feel the effect she had on him––promising her that tomorrow night would be worth the wait.

  It wasn’t until he was alone in bed that he remembered Annabelle saying, “I have something I need to tell you,” right before he’d cut her off by maneuvering his way into her arms.
