SIX

‘Okay.’ But Imogen’s whole body ached with regret. Regret about both entering and leaving his bed. She forced her arms through the sleeves of her wretched green shirt.

‘What are you doing?’ Eyes narrow, question direct.

‘I have to go.’

‘Why?’

Because if she stayed any longer she’d never want to leave. Because she couldn’t do this anywhere near as well as she thought she could. Because she was sickly, hopelessly confused. But she couldn’t bear to admit that—not to someone so in control and confident.

After too long a moment of silence he threw back the covers. ‘Where you going to wake me before leaving?’ He shook his head at her continued nil response. ‘Unbelievable.’

He called on jeans with sharp jerks, not stopping for underwear, and then yanked on a long sleeved tee. With stubble and tousled hair—hair she’d tousled—he was gorgeously, dangerously casual. Except there was nothing casual about the aggression emanating from him as he moved.

Her heart thudded and her belly heated.

More.

Desire wasn’t whispering to her, it was shouting.

More, more, more!

Goaded by her body’s flare to his magnetism, she raised her own voice. ‘What are you doing?’

He kept stuffing his feet into socks and shoes. ‘You don’t think I’m going to let you walk out in the middle of the night and go home alone, do you? I am seeing you to your door.’

‘You don’t have to —’

‘You might be happy to treat me as a no-name one-night stand, but that’s not how I’m going to treat you.’

‘Ryan—’

‘That’s right. Ryan.’ He rose, towering over her. ‘That’s my name. You breathed it, you screamed it, not that long ago. So what’s changed?’

Alternating waves of heat and humiliation washed over her. She had screamed—and begged and pleaded and panted. had been like a toy for him to handle however he pleased. And yet pleased, all right—the most dynamic, delicious lover a woman could ever have the pleasure of knowing.

All too late she realised she couldn’t handle him. How could she possibly admit to the fear and the overwhelming feelings burgeoning inside? How on earth could she say, Hey, Ryan, you just made me fall for you—I don’t just want an affair, I want the whole package. She couldn’t ask that of a man who had no idea of what that meant to someone like her.

‘I made a mistake.’

‘That was many things, but it wasn’t a mistake.’ He walked closer. ‘Your mistake was in thinking we could get away with doing this just the once.’

He was right. Being with him had simply made her want more—from a man she couldn’t possibly trust. He was George on steroids—more powerful, more monied, and much, much riskier. ‘My mistake was in doing it at all.’

He shook his head. ‘You’ll be making a bigger mistake if you leave now.’

For the second time that night their stares clashed. Finality versus merciless magnetism.

‘You don’t want to enjoy what we have? You don’t want to make the most of this incredible chemistry?’

In her head she shrieked her denial, but the sound refused to emerge from her mouth.
