Emma heard him before she could even properly see him, planted next to that truck like he belonged there. And when he baited her with the fact she hadn’t apologized for her behavior, well –
“Over my dead body,” she responded and, Jesus Fucking Christ, he damn well knew what he was doing with his hand and those Levi’s and that look.
She told him she was looking for Ruby.
(She lied.)
Killian grinned. “Yeah, I think she’ll be in soon. I can keep you company while you wait. It’d be the gentlemanly thing to do, of course.”
“I’d rather be crushed beneath the wheels of your damn truck.”
“Are you sure you wouldn’t rather be crushed under something a little more friendly? And male, perhaps?”
It was either kiss that dirty mouth of his to shut him up or punch him (again). She chose the latter.
