Passion (Lost Love Series) (Erotic Romance) (3 page)

It brought up an important question though – how should she act around Lee now that she understood that she was in love with him? Should she act like nothing had changed? Should she try to make a move? Should she tell him how she felt?

Suddenly it was like she was a teenager again. Lovestruck and confused. She shook her head firmly, shaking away the insecurities. No matter how she felt, she was going in to work, and she was a professional. In the office at least, everything should be business as usual. She could figure out the rest later.

When Cara walked into the office, Lee could tell something had changed. She was different. She seemed nervous, slightly distracted even. Most tellingly, she didn’t look at him when she walked in the door. He had come to look forward to seeing her smile when they first saw each other in the morning. Today she did not smile or even make eye contact. She just walked straight to her office.

Worried, Lee followed her.

“Cara, what’s wrong?” he asked, closing the door behind him.

“Wrong? Nothing’s wrong,” she said quickly, still not looking at him. She was shuffling papers around on her desk, but he could tell she was just avoiding meeting his eye. “I just have a lot of work to do. Lots of important projects and ideas and you can show yourself out we can talk later.”

Lee would not be brushed off that easily. He walked around her desk, so that he stood next to her. Gently but firmly, he reached out and turned her face towards his, forcing her to look him in the eyes.

“Something’s upsetting you,” he said. “Let me help. Tell me what’s wrong.”

Cara sighed deeply. He could tell she was calming her nerves, steeling herself so that she was brave enough to tell him something.

“I love you,” she said. Lee was so shocked at her confession that he froze. Could it be? Could she finally see that they were meant to be together? She bit her lip nervously for a second before beginning to ramble. “I know it is absurd and it’s not the relationship we’ve had in the past and if this freaks you out I am really sorry and I was really hoping that we wouldn’t have to discuss this at work, but now here we are, and -”

Lee covered his mouth with hers to shut her up.

“I love you too,” he told her after the kiss ended. “That’s why I came back. I love you, and I wanted to be near you.”

“You love me?” she repeated breathlessly, as if she still didn’t believe it.

“I think I always have,” he admitted. “I didn’t realize it until I left, but I think even in college some part of me knew you were the one.”

“I think I have too,” she said with a soft smile, “But I didn’t figure it out until this morning.”

“Well you always were slower on the uptake,” he teased.

“Only when I was holding back so you wouldn’t feel so far behind,” she retaliated with a sweet smile.

“That must have been it,” he smiled down at her. “My beautiful, clever Cara.”
