Hunt's new health app was launched with roaring success the next day. It was the latest in a trend that seemed to be sweeping the tech world, with a revolutionary interface and a platform capable of reaching thousands of healthcare providers within months.

Julian was practically aglow on stage when he introduced it. Calm and controlled, in a fitted grey suit, he projected confidence. But underneath it, I could tell that excitement was thrumming through him. This was his passion. He genuinely believed in his work, in his creations—in what he had to offer the world.

I watched him from the back of the room, just as transfixed as the rest of the audience. It had become clear to me that I didn’t just like Julian.

I was head over heels.

Later that evening, the full day done, giddiness hung in the air. The launch had been phenomenal. I could hear the Hunt technicians joking with each other as they packed down our workshop gear, laughter, and exhaustion in their voices. I knew how they felt. I was starting to realize that these huge launches and events had a lot in common with sporting events. Once the adrenaline was spent, all you had left was a tired sort of happiness.

Rachel grinned at me. “Finally, huh?”

“Yes, finally,” I agreed. “My stomach is practically eating itself.”

She laughed. "So is mine. You've done some really great work these days, by the way. I was glad to have you by my side."

“It’s been fun! We’ve had some great teamwork.”

“We have. Thank God it’s over though. I think I could use about two week’s vacation.”

“Me too.”

Rachel zipped up her jacket. “I’m heading to my sister’s for the evening. She lives here in LA, so I’ll spend some time with family and sleep at hers. Congratulations, Emily. You get the hotel room all to yourself tonight.”

“Oh,” I said weakly.

“That’s a good thing, no?”

“Yes! Yes, I mean, of course I don’t mind. I hope you have a great evening. See you at the airport tomorrow morning then?”

“Yes, bright and early.” She rolled her eyes. “Too early.”

I watched her grab her bag and give me a cheery wave as she hurried out of the conference hall. So I’d be alone in my room tonight, with Julian Hunt himself just two doors down.

My mind went straight for the gutter. I tried to stop it; I gave directions, I called out, I coaxed. But there was no use. The facts were the facts—there was nothing in the way of the of us spending time together tonight. Nerves were already going haywire in my stomach and I forced myself to take a deep breath.

I hoped we would spend the night together. I’d been fighting my attraction for him from the beginning, but it was a useless battle and I’d made a strategic retreat. When a man like that is delivered into your life, you don’t waste him, and I didn’t plan to.

Only… it had been a while since the last time I had sex. Between
