Wright with Benefits (Wright Series #8) - K.A. Linde Page 0,99
nodded. “Probably.”
Despite the fact that I said no guys for ninety days and I wanted the entire summer to myself, I didn’t want to walk away from Julian. It was impossible anyway. Probably stupid to even consider.
Then his eyes rounded in circles as he looked over my shoulder.
I whipped around and found none other than Ashleigh Sinclair on the property.
“What is she doing here?” I whispered. As far as I knew, all Sinclairs were banned from the premises.
“I have no idea.” Julian reached out and grabbed my hand. I looked back at him in surprise. “I really don’t want to find out.”
“What?”
But he put a finger to his lips and then tipped his head back. Without a word, he pulled me into his office, shutting the door decisively behind him. The lights were off and I could hear our breathing in the space as we waited to see if Ashleigh had seen us.
“What are you doing?” I barely breathed. He hadn’t dropped my hand and he just squeezed it.
“It’s opening day. I just…I don’t want to deal with her.”
“I thought she wasn’t allowed on the property.”
His sigh was audible. “She isn’t.”
“Do you think she saw you?” I whispered.
He didn’t respond. We just lingered in the silence of that dark space. The heat between us potent. An energy crackling that I’d never felt before. It started at the tips of my toes and ran all the way to the top of my head. I could have leaned in and our bodies would have touched. I wanted to. Even knowing it was stupid.
We were hiding from his ex. This wasn’t…anything.
“I think she’s gone,” he breathed softly.
I felt him begin to pull away, and then against all odds, the door to the office began to open. I saw a flash of bleached blonde hair and creamy white skin. Ashleigh had seen us.
I heard Julian’s quick intake of breath and the two simple words that turned my life upside down, “Forgive me.”
Then his lips crashed down on mine and there was no longer air left in the world. There was simply this moment as I drowned in him and forgot what it meant to breathe.

Acknowledgments
It was such a joy to be able to return to the world of the Wrights. So I would like to thank the readers, who have come year after year to meet this family set in the dusty, Texas town I live in. I never thought it would have as much magic as it brought to me, and I can’t thank you enough for letting me continue to do what I love for a living. You’re the best! And I can’t WAIT for you to meet Julian & Jennifer!
