Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 261

"Ouch." Bryant cried softly in pain.

It was the same trick he pulled last time.

Pointing at his right hand, I said, "You just used that hand to pull me along, and you weren't gentle about it."

"It's only after pulling you that it started hurting," he replied smoothly, going with the flow.

I shoved a piece of apple into his mouth. "Fine, eat up. Have some more."

...

Later, Kevin brought in a stack of documents. All urgent business from the corporation, the stuff that needed attention as long as Bryant was still breathing.

His right hand was injured, making frequent use impossible, so I flipped through the documents beside him, leaving him to sign them. Momentarily, it felt like we were back to the old respectful days.

"Jane, there's something off about this ROI..." As Bryant leaned over, I bent forward to hand him a new document.

His soft lips unexpectedly met my cheek. We both froze. Even though we had our moments of closeness before, things were different.

A spark of desire lit up in Bryant's eyes, and he instantly pulled me closer, his hand moving to seal my lips with his.

Instinctively, I tried to dodge, but someone beat me to it! There was a thud sounded at the door. Something had hit the floor.

The next second, Teresa's voice rang, "Ms. Myers, please don't overthink this!"
