"I don't know," she shot back, baffled by his audacity, "Casper, I have no idea how many women you've been with, but you sure do. Shameless." "You're the only one for me." Casper had said this before.
But Eliza wasn't buying it.
"I'm not a three-year-old." "Then you must be four," he teased with a soft chuckle, his fingers gently combing through her hair. His lips brushed her ear, gently nibbling on her earlobe, "Baby, I'm being honest. I know I messed up, can you forgivejust this once?" She knew he'd been set up, that woman had just shown up at the perfect time.
His words were cheesy, but Eliza felt her resolve melting.

I won't pressure you, but please trust me, I won't do anything crazy, alright?" I also know I can't push His kiss was soft yet carried an unmistakable urgency.
She felt her mind fogging over under his kiss.
She had to push him away, "Casper..." She panted slightly, meeting his eyes, now dark with desire, "Casper, I can trust you, but you have to trusttoo, can you do that?" "You and Manuel?" Inside, he felt a pang of jealousy.

"Elle, do you always compareto Shaw in your heart? His voice carried ahint of insecurity. A flicker of complex emotions crossed Eliza's clear eyes.

If Casper hadn't been her first, she'd have picked Manuel in a heartbeat.
"Are you... feeling insecure?" she asked softly.
"A little." Even holding her now, ready for anything, he still doubted if she'd her heart, 'Padmit, I'm not give hi the kind of guy women fall for easily." "That's srare self-awareness," she said with a gentle smile.
