Chapter Eleven

Adam changed down from fifth to fourth gear, and then down again to third. The BMW purred as it decreased speed, hugging the curves of the twisting mountain road.

With the roof down, the wind whipped through the car, pure and fresh and strongly tinged with the pungent scent of eucalyptus.

He glanced at her, flashed his traffic-stopping smile. “I’m pleased you came.”

“So am I.” She wrinkled her nose.

“I didn’t think you would.”

“I wasn’t going to.” Approximately thirty seconds after refusing his invitation, she’d realized she made a mistake. She’d wanted a chance? Well, what did she think his invitation offered? Yeah, it may only be for forty-eight hours, but what had she expected?

A marriage proposal? Two days alone together was a great start. If she played her cards right, it might turn into a lot longer.

“What made you change your mind?”

She shot him a wicked look. “What do you think?”

The traffic stopper returned. “I have a confession.”

For someone in the process of owning up to something, he didn’t look particularly guilty. “Am I going to want to hear this?”

“Matt could have made it to the meeting this afternoon.”

“What?”

“I asked him not come.”

“You did?” Yes.

“I had to see you, Lexi.” The teasing quality in his voice was gone. “I’m going to Hong Kong on Tuesday for two weeks. I couldn’t leave here without resolving things between us.”

“Is that what I am to you? An unresolved issue?”

He didn’t respond.

“So spending a weekend with me will help you find…an answer to your problem?”

She held no false illusions. He’d designed this weekend to work her out of his system.

Period. She should be pissed but how could she be angry when his problem was the fact that she was in his system to begin with?

He slowed down and turned off the highway onto a narrow country road. “Woman, until I have you naked and alone, I won’t be able to resolve one damn thing.”

A lick of desire shot through her. She closed her eyes, rested her head on the headrest and stroked his thigh. The muscles rippled in his leg. “Care to tell me how you intend resolving things?”

His tone dropped a notch. “Sure you want to hear?”

She dragged her hand down to his knee and back up again. “Uh huh.”

He released the gearshift and clasped her hand, effectively stopping her movement.

“First off, I’m going to try and not drive us clear off the mountain.” He wound his fingers through hers. “It’s tough concentrating with a raging erection.”

She twisted her head to look at his lap. Sure enough, she could see why his concentration might be compromised. Distinctly pleased with herself, she smiled and stretched. “What can you do with a raging erection?”

He turned to look at her with an arched eyebrow. “For starters, I can make you very, very happy.”

She leaned back and closed her eyes again, trying not to smile. “I’m sure you can.

What about after that?”

“I can make you even happier.”

She snorted at the sheer arrogance in his voice. “And then?”

He brought her hand to his mouth and kissed her palm.
