Image Description:

He is so far outside my type that he might as well exist on Venus with surface temperatures of over eight hundred degrees Fahrenheit. He would burn to an ugly crisp before even becoming my type. And not only that—he’s looking at me like I’m roadkill that suddenly appeared on his doorstep, brought to him by a mangy, feral cat.

Any and all attraction suddenly poofs out of my brain like exhaust.  

What do you want? His question lingers in the air.

“Why would you think I want something?” My cheeks are on fire from the accusation. Unfortunately, it’s an accurate accusation.

His brows rise. “Am I wrong?”
