"Wh-what is it you wish to discuss with me, Mr. Shaw?"
"Jack," he corrected, stepping closer still.
She smelled like vanilla and spice, a scent that was at once familiar and unknown, a scent that urged him to bridge the gap between them until nothing separated his body from hers.
Caroline swallowed and Jack's entire body hardened. Her gaze was ravenous, filled with a hunger that ignited a similar need within himself. No woman in his life had ever looked at him as she did.
"Mr. Shaw, it's best that you stay away from me."
His mouth curved. "You could ask anything of me, sweet, and I would do my best to grant your desire. To stay away, however, is not something I'm capable of doing."
"You don't understand--"
"Are you still unwell?" he asked gruffly, frowning with concern.
"No." The low tone of her voice made his blood heat in his veins. Eyes wide, Caroline took another backward step only to be brought up short by the hedge.
Jack tugged off his glove and reached out to her, brushing a finger along the edge of her bodice. His breathing deepened at the feel of her satiny skin. "Your heart races as fast as mine."
"Please..."
He stared into her eyes and saw the longing there, a longing he reciprocated. "If you have a care for me at all, love, you would ease my torment."
"Jack ... you must go. Forget I exist."
"Tell me I'm not what you want, Caroline, and I will walk away. Otherwise, I intend to kiss you."
