Diana Palmer Quote

Know my way around here now! The group, impressed, followed Kells. Why can’t I go, too? Belinda asked. Because I have plans for you, Miss Jessup, he drawled. He caught her hand in his and led her toward the white frame house. What sort of plans? she asked suspiciously. He paused with a secretive grin. What do you think? He leaned closer, threatening her mouth with his, so that when he spoke she felt his clean, minty breath on her lips. Well, I could be thinking about how big and soft the sofa in the living room is, he murmured. And how well two people would fit on it. She could barely breathe. Her heart was thumping madly against her rib cage. Or, he added, lifting his head, I might have something purely innocent in mind. Why not come with me and find out? He tugged at her hand and she fell into step beside him, just when she’d told herself she wasn’t about to do that. He led her up the steps and into the house. It was cool and airy, with light colored furniture and sedate throw rugs. There were plain white priscilla curtains at the windows, and the kitchen was spacious and furnished in white and yellow. It’s very nice, she said involuntarily, turning around to look at her surroundings.
