CHAPTER 172

  Olivia's POV

  I melted into the kiss for a split second before my brain kicked in. I shoved him back, wiping my lips with my hand.

  "Really?" I glared at him. "That's your solution? Just kiss me until I shut up about Ashley?"

  "No, that's my solution to showing you you're the only one I want to kiss."

  I pulled back, fixing him with my best-unimpressed stare. "Your phone tells a different story."

  "The past is the past." His fingers traced along my jawline. "Right now, I'm focused on how that dress hugs every curve of your body."

  "I'm sure you said something similar to Ashley last week."

  His hands slid down to my hips, pulling me closer. "You're different."

  "Different how? Because I caught you?"

  "Because you drive me crazy." His lips brushed against my neck. "Because you challenge me. Because you're not afraid to call me out on my bullshit."
