Chapter Four

Anna found it difficult to breathe. Where was all her self-composure, her common sense? It was so hard to think when Giles had his hands wrapped around her hips, caressing her and sending hot waves of lust through her. Those hands of his promised her strength, virility, and decadent delights.

In the shifting shadows he stood tall over her, his naked desire clear despite the dimness. He wanted her, plain as day. But he wouldn’t press her if she refused. This was something she instinctively knew without having to wonder. Giles would allow her to make up her own mind, and he’d abide by her decision.

But what decision was that? What was she to do with this highly inconvenient urge to rip his clothes off and wrestle him to the nearest bed?

“Anna?” Giles traced a finger across her cheek. “We don’t have to do anything, you know.”

She became aware that she’d been lost in thought for some while and that Giles must have taken her silence for refusal.

Not do anything? She pondered this option and quickly shook her head.

“Ignoring it won’t make the problem go away,” she said. She inhaled as Giles’ finger slid slowly down her neck, spreading exquisite pleasure across her skin. Lord, how could she make the right decision when she was being so thoroughly turned on? With a deep breath, she pulled away, dropping her arms to her sides, and regret flashed in Giles’s eyes as the gap between them widened.

“What, then?” he asked, tension threading through his voice as he pushed his hands into the pockets of his pants. “You want me off your project?”

“Of course not!” she burst out. “I could never get everything done without your help.” That fact was crystal clear. She rubbed her upper arms, nervous about telling him the truth but knowing there was no other solution. “But even with both of us working together, the truth is, I—we—aren’t likely to meet our deadline because this—this thing between us is messing with our concentration and interfering with our ability to focus on work.” She halted and chewed on her lower lip. “Well, maybe it’s just me that’s affected. You probably—”

“No,” he interrupted with a quick shake of his head. “It’s me, too.”

She swallowed. Good to know she wasn’t the only one suffering from the most serious bout of inconvenient and unresolved sexual tension she’d ever experienced.

“Okay. Well. So I have a proposal to put to you.” She hesitated, and Giles stiffened, tension radiating off him. His was such a large presence, and she was intimately aware of his body vibrating with anticipation just inches away from her. Awareness dried her throat, causing her to lick her lips anxiously. “One night,” she said, surprised at how steady her voice sounded. “One night together. No names, no pack drill.”

He sucked in an audible breath, making her aware of his rising chest. “Only one night?”

“To get it out of our systems so we can focus on work.”

“Are you sure one night is enough for that?”

She flushed briefly.
